Insights
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) face worse outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Type 1 DM (T1DM) patients experienced higher mortality and bleeding, while Type 2 DM (T2DM) patients had increased stroke risk compared to non-DM individuals.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Endocrinology
- Public Health
Background:
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
- Limited large-scale research exists on the distinct impacts of Type 1 DM (T1DM) and Type 2 DM (T2DM) on AMI outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the differential impact of T1DM and T2DM on in-hospital outcomes for patients experiencing AMI.
- To compare adverse events, including mortality, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), bleeding, and stroke, between DM subtypes and non-DM patients post-AMI.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of adult AMI discharges from the National Inpatient Sample (October 2015 - December 2018).
- Patients were stratified into T1DM, T2DM, and non-DM (NDM) groups.
- Multivariable logistic regression was employed to assess associations between DM status and outcomes, adjusting for relevant factors.
Main Results:
- T1DM patients exhibited significantly higher odds of MACCE, all-cause mortality, and major bleeding compared to NDM patients.
- T2DM patients showed increased odds of MACCE and ischemic stroke relative to NDM patients.
- Both T1DM and T2DM patients had lower odds of receiving percutaneous coronary intervention, though T2DM patients had higher utilization of composite revascularization.
Conclusions:
- Diabetes mellitus is associated with worse in-hospital clinical outcomes for AMI patients.
- Significant differences exist between T1DM and T2DM, with T1DM patients experiencing generally worse outcomes and less revascularization.
- These findings highlight the need for tailored management strategies based on DM type in AMI patients.
Background:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an important risk factor for adverse outcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but large-scale studies investigating the differential impact of Type 1 DM (T1DM) and Type 2 DM (T2DM) on AMI outcomes are lacking.
Methods:
All adult discharges for AMI in the National Inpatient Sample (October 2015 to December 2018) were included and stratified into T1DM, T2DM and non-DM (NDM) groups. Outcomes of interests were all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), major bleeding and acute ischemic stroke, as well as invasive management. Binomial hierarchical multilevel multivariable logistic regression with adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) was used to investigate the association between DM and its subtypes with the AMI outcomes.
Results:
Out of 2,587,615 patients, there were 29,250 (1.1 %) T1DM and 1,032,925 (39.9 %) T2DM patients. After multivariable adjustment, patients with T1DM had increased odds of MACCE (aOR 1.20, 95 % CI 1.09-1.31), all-cause mortality (aOR 1.20, 95 % CI 1.08-1.33) and major bleeding (aOR 1.28, 95 % CI 1.13-1.44), whilst T2DM patients had increased odds of MACCE (aOR 1.03, 95 % CI 1.01-1.05) and ischemic stroke (aOR 1.09, 95 % CI 1.05-1.13), compared to NDM patients. The adjusted odds of receiving percutaneous coronary intervention were lower in both T1DM and T2DM patients (aOR 0.70, 95 % CI 0.66-0.75 and aOR 0.95, 95 % CI 0.94-0.96, respectively), but T2DM patients showed higher utilization of composite percutaneous and surgical revascularization (aOR 1.03, 95 % CI 1.03-1.04) compared to NDM patients.
Conclusions:
DM patients presenting with AMI have worse in-hospital clinical outcomes compared to NDM patients. There are important DM type-related differences with T1DM patients having overall worse outcomes and receiving less overall revascularization.
