Key result
Admission in 2000-2008 was associated with a significant decrease in 10-year mortality among diabetic patients with myocardial infarction compared to 1985-1989 (39% vs 53%; HR 0.56; 95% CI 0.43-0.73).
Why the study?
Does prevalent diabetes impact the temporal trends of short- and long-term mortality after myocardial infarction?
Cohort (n=14,434)
No
Does prevalent diabetes impact the temporal trends of short- and long-term mortality after myocardial infarction?
Hazard Ratio: 0.56 (95% CI 0.43–0.73)
Absolute Event Rate: 39% vs 53%
Temporal mortality reductions after MI between 1985 and 2008 were similar in relative terms for patients with and without diabetes, though absolute mortality remains higher in those with diabetes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Diabetes status may modify MI outcome trends over time; leaves open whether targeted strategies are needed.
Nauta et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Myocardial Infarction (n=14,434). Admission in 2000-2008 vs. Admission in 1985-1989 was evaluated on 10-year mortality in patients with diabetes (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.43-0.73). Admission in 2000-2008 was associated with a significant decrease in 10-year mortality among diabetic patients with myocardial infarction compared to 1985-1989 (39% vs 53%; HR 0.56; 95% CI 0.43-0.73).
