Predictive value of plasma glucose level on admission for short and long term mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Published reports describe a strong association between plasma glucose levels on admission and mortality in patients who undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of admission glucose levels for early and late mortality. From 2005 to 2007, 1,646 patients underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and were stratified according to admission plasma glucose level in category 1 (<7.8 mmol/L; n = 747), category 2 (7.8 to 11.0 mmol/L; n = 620), or category 3 (>11 mmol/L; n = 279). Event rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A landmark survival analysis to 3-year follow-up was performed, with a landmark set at 30 days. Time-extended Cox regression was used to assess the predictive value of admission glucose levels. Furthermore, a stratified analysis was performed for known diabetes mellitus status at admission. Thirty-day mortality was 2.4% in category 1, 6% in category 2, and 22% in category 3 (p <0.01). Three-year mortality in 30-day survivors was 5.9% in category 1, 8.2% in category 2, and 7.1% in category 3 (p = 0.27). Glucose level on admission was a strong predictor of 30-day mortality: for every 1 mmol/L increase, the hazard increased by 14% (hazard ratio 1.14, 95% confidence interval 1.09 to 1.19, p <0.01) in patients without diabetes, by 12% (hazard ratio 1.12, 95% confidence interval 1.05 to 1.19, p <0.01) in those with diabetes, and by 13% (hazard ratio 1.13, 95% confidence interval 1.09 to 1.17, p <0.01) in the total cohort. After 30 days, glucose level at admission lost its predictive value. In conclusion, in patients with and those without diabetes, glucose level at admission is an independent predictor of early but not late mortality.

Time to treatment and three-year mortality after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction-a DANish Trial in Acute Myocardial Infarction-2 (DANAMI-2) substudy.

In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), early reperfusion is believed to improve left ventricular systolic function and reduce mortality; however, long-term (>1 year) data are sparse. In the DANish Trial in Acute Myocardial Infarction-2 (DANAMI-2) study, 686 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were treated with pPCI. Long-term mortality was obtained during 3 years of follow-up. We classified the patients according to the symptom-to-balloon time (<3, 3 to 5, and > or =5 hours). The groups were compared using a Cox proportional hazards regression model adjusted for confounding factors. The left ventricular systolic ejection fraction was estimated by echocardiography before discharge. Coronary flow was evaluated using the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction score. Mortality did not differ between the 2 earliest symptom-to-balloon groups, and they were therefore combined into 1 group in the analysis of survival. Mortality was significantly increased for patients with a symptom-to-balloon time > or =5 hours (hazard ratio 2.36, 95% confidence interval 1.51 to 3.67, p <0.001), a difference that remained significant after controlling for confounding factors (adjusted hazard ratio 2.44, 95% confidence interval 1.31 to 4.54, p = 0.007). The symptom-to-balloon time was inversely associated with a left ventricular systolic ejection fraction of < or =40% (19.7% vs 22.8% vs 33.1%, p = 0.036), with the latter a major predictor of 3-year mortality in this cohort (hazard ratio 6.02, 95% confidence interval 3.68 to 9.85, p <0.001). A shorter symptom-to-balloon time was associated with greater rates of Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 3 flow after pPCI (86.5% vs 80.9% vs 75.7%, p = 0.002). In conclusion, a shorter symptom-to-balloon time was associated with improved coronary flow, an increased likelihood of subsequent left ventricular systolic ejection fraction >40%, and greater 3-year survival in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with pPCI.
