Comparison of two-year clinical outcomes according to glycemic status and renal function in patients with acute myocardial infarction following implantation of new-generation drug-eluting stents

Aim: We compared the 2-year clinical outcomes between prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) after the successful implantation of new-generation drug-eluting stents. Methods: A total of 11,961 AMI patients were classified into group A (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 60 ml/min/1.73m2, n = 2271) and group B (eGFR >= 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, n = 9690). These two groups were sub-classified into normoglycemia, prediabetes, and T2DM. The occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as all-cause death, recurrent MI (re-MI), and any repeat revascularization was evaluated. Results: In group A, the MACE (p = 0.016 and p = 0.004, respectively) and all-cause death (p = 0.044, and p = 0.031, respectively) rates; in groups B, the MACE, all-cause death, and cardiac death rates, were significantly higher in the prediabetes and T2DM groups than in the normoglycemia group. The re-MI and any repeat revascularization rates were significantly higher in the T2DM group than in the normoglycemia group. The MACE, all-cause death, and cardiac death rates in group A were significantly higher than those in all three glycemic subgroups of group B. Both in group A and B, the major clinical outcomes were not significantly different between the prediabetes and T2DM groups. Conclusions: AMI patients, both with prediabetes and T2DM, showed a higher mortality rate than those with normoglycemia regardless of the degree of eGFR.
