Key result
Hospital mortality declined markedly between 1997 and 2009 for both diabetic (20.0% to 5.6%) and non-diabetic (18.6% to 7.5%) patients hospitalized with STEMI.
Why the study?
Does a history of diabetes affect in-hospital outcomes and mortality trends in patients hospitalized with STEMI?

STEMI mortality reductions extend to diabetics; supports temporal care gains but leaves open diabetes-specific strategies for complications.

Does a history of diabetes affect in-hospital outcomes and mortality trends in patients hospitalized with STEMI?
While in-hospital mortality for STEMI has significantly decreased over a decade for both diabetic and non-diabetic patients, those with diabetes continue to face higher rates of in-hospital complications and longer hospital stays.
Tisminetzky et al. (2014) conducted an observational in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=2,537). Diabetes vs. No diabetes was evaluated on Hospital mortality. Hospital mortality declined markedly between 1997 and 2009 for both diabetic (20.0% to 5.6%) and non-diabetic (18.6% to 7.5%) patients hospitalized with STEMI.
