Why the study?
Does diabetes increase the risk of mortality and affect clinical management in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction?
Population
21 094 weighted hospitalizations for AMI across 4 US communities
Comparison
Patients with diabetes vs patients without diabetes
Design
Community surveillance study
Follow-up
1 year
Key result
Diabetes was associated with a 52% higher hazard of all-cause 1-year mortality (HR 1.52; 95% CI 1.23-1.89) in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction.

Diabetes signals excess post-AMI mortality amid treatment gaps; leaves open whether closing disparities improves survival.

Does diabetes increase the risk of mortality and affect clinical management in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction?
Hazard Ratio: 1.52 (95% CI 1.23–1.89)
In patients hospitalized with AMI, diabetes is associated with less typical presentations, lower use of evidence-based therapies, and a significantly higher risk of 1-year mortality.
Jain et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=21,094). Diabetes vs. No diabetes was evaluated on All-cause 1-year mortality (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.23-1.89). Diabetes was associated with a 52% higher hazard of all-cause 1-year mortality (HR 1.52; 95% CI 1.23-1.89) in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction.
