Admission Blood Glucose and 2-Year Mortality After Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Different Glucose Metabolism Status: A Prospective, Nationwide, and Multicenter Registry

BackgroundThe prognostic effect of admission blood glucose (ABG) for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been well validated, especially in patients with diabetes. We performed this study to assess the predictive value of ABG for all-cause mortality in AMI patients with different glucose metabolism status.MethodsWe evaluated a total of 6,892 AMI patients from the prospective, nationwide, multicenter CAMI registry, of which 2,820 had diabetes, 2,011 had pre-diabetes, and 2,061 had normal glucose regulation (NGR). Patients were divided into high ABG and low ABG groups according to the optimal cutoff values of ABG to predict 2-year mortality for patients with diabetes, pre-diabetes and NGR, respectively. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.ResultsThe optimal cutoff values of ABG for predicting 2-year mortality was 9.0mmol/l, 7.2mmol/l and 6.2mmol/l for patients with diabetes, pre-diabetes and NGR, respectively. Overall, the risk of all-cause mortality in high ABG group was significantly increased compared with that in low ABG group among patients with diabetes (15.2% vs. 8.9%; hazard ratio [HR] 1.787, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.413-2.260; P
