Key result
Diabetes mellitus in patients with acute myocardial infarction was associated with a non-significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate compared to non-diabetics (18% vs 15%; P=0.15).
Why the study?
Does diabetes mellitus increase in-hospital mortality in Qatari patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Cohort (n=1,598)
Does diabetes mellitus increase in-hospital mortality in Qatari patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Absolute Event Rate: 18% vs 15%
p-value: p=.15
The prevalence of diabetes among Qatari patients with acute myocardial infarction is high (54%), but in-hospital mortality was not significantly higher compared to non-diabetic patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No significant mortality difference by diabetes in AMI; leaves open whether larger cohorts would detect excess risk.
El‐Menyar et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=1,598). Diabetes mellitus vs. No diabetes mellitus was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (p=.15). Diabetes mellitus in patients with acute myocardial infarction was associated with a non-significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate compared to non-diabetics (18% vs 15%; P=0.15).
