Key result
Diabetes mellitus was associated with significantly higher 5-year mortality (72% vs 50%, p < 0.001) and reinfarction (55% vs 22%, p < 0.001) compared to non-diabetic patients after AMI.

Diabetes history identifies higher-risk AMI patients; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Cohort (n=858)
Does a history of diabetes mellitus increase mortality and reinfarction in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Absolute Event Rate: 72% vs 50%
p-value: p=< 0.001
Diabetes mellitus is a strong independent predictor of 5-year mortality and reinfarction following acute myocardial infarction.
Herlitz et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=858). Diabetes mellitus vs. Non-diabetic patients was evaluated on 5-year mortality (p=< 0.001). Diabetes mellitus was associated with significantly higher 5-year mortality (72% vs 50%, p < 0.001) and reinfarction (55% vs 22%, p < 0.001) compared to non-diabetic patients after AMI.
