Admission hypoglycemia was associated with higher AMI mortality only in diabetics; leaves open diabetes-specific glucose thresholds.
Does admission glucose level predict in-hospital mortality differently in AMI patients with or without diabetes?
Admission glucose is a strong predictor of in-hospital mortality after AMI, but hypoglycemia is a marker of poor prognosis specifically in patients with recognized diabetes.
