Key result
Diabetes was associated with significantly more angina (OR 1.36), cardiac-related physical limitation, and health-related quality of life deficits one year after an acute coronary syndrome.
Why the study?
Does diabetes worsen health status outcomes (angina, physical limitation, HRQoL) at one year in patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndromes?
Cohort (n=1,199)
Yes
Does diabetes worsen health status outcomes (angina, physical limitation, HRQoL) at one year in patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndromes?
Odds Ratio: 1.36 (95% CI 1.01–1.38)
Absolute Event Rate: 37% vs 27%

Diabetes associated with worse post-ACS health status; leaves open whether targeted strategies improve outcomes in this group.
Peterson et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndromes (n=1,199). Diabetes mellitus vs. No diabetes was evaluated on Presence of angina at one year (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.01-1.38). Diabetes was associated with significantly more angina (OR 1.36), cardiac-related physical limitation, and health-related quality of life deficits one year after an acute coronary syndrome.
