Prognostic Value of Stress Hyperglycemia for In-Hospital Outcome in Acute Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract: Stress hyperglycemia is an independent predictive factor for in-hospital complications after ACS in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. The results highlight the need to assess admission blood glucose concentration in all patients admitted due to ACS, including nondiabetic ones, aiming at identifying those at higher risk for complications.

“…This hospital has received a Level 3 Accreditation (IQG - Instituto Qualisa de Gestão ) and is part of the SOLAR ( São Lucas Registro em SCA ) registry. 8 The estimated minimum sample size was 195 individuals and was based on the following parameters: two-tailed alpha = 0.05, power = 90%, probability of an event in the group with greater physical activity = 30%, odds ratio (OR) of the less active versus the more active group = 1.7. We increased in 10% the sample size due to a potential size reduction if some individuals decided to withdraw the research consent.…”

“…Diabetes, hypertension, cigarette smoking and high cholesterol (untreated or unregulated despite treatment) are considered predictors of poor outcome. A large number of authors believe that stress–hyperglycemia is an independent predictive factor for such complications after acute coronary artery disease in diabetics and non-diabetics ( 7 , 8 ).…”
