Do leukocytosis or elevated blood glucose levels predict higher hospital mortality in patients with first acute myocardial infarction?
Leukocytosis and elevated blood glucose levels are indicators of higher hospital mortality in patients with first AMI, suggesting utility for triage to coronary care units.
Baruch Modan (1975) conducted an observational in first acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Leukocytosis and/or elevated blood glucose levels was evaluated on hospital mortality. Leukocytosis and/or elevated blood glucose levels were associated with substantially higher hospital mortality among patients with first acute myocardial infarction.
