Key result
Diabetes was associated with higher age- and sex-standardized mortality than non-diabetes in acute myocardial infarction (12.2% vs 7.4%, p<0.03), which was driven by high admission blood glucose.

May flag admission glucose for closer monitoring in diabetic AMI; leaves open whether targeted control improves outcomes.
Cohort (n=898)
Absolute Event Rate: 12.2% vs 7.4%
p-value: p=<0.03
Fava et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=898). Diabetes and high blood glucose on admission vs. Non-diabetic patients was evaluated on Age- and sex-standardized mortality (p=<0.03). Diabetes was associated with higher age- and sex-standardized mortality than non-diabetes in acute myocardial infarction (12.2% vs 7.4%, p<0.03), which was driven by high admission blood glucose.
