PREDIABETES PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME AND HOSPITAL CLINICAL OUTCOME

Abstract

Background: Prediabetes is common in patients presenting with ACS who are not previously known to have
diabetes. Prediabetic patients had worse in-hospital clinical outcomes compared with patients without diabetes.
The aim of the study was to explore the relation prediabetes patients with acute coronary syndromes the inhospital clinical outcomes.
Patients and Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 60 patients with acute coronary syndrome who
admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), Internal Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig
University during the period from September 2019 to March 2020. All studied subjects were subjected to Full
history taking Complete clinical examination, Complete blood count, Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), Lipid
profile, Serum creatinine and Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), ECG and ECHO.
Results: There was a statistical significant difference between the studied groups regarding acute coronary
syndrome types, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), serum creatinine, and high-density lipoproteins. cholesterol.
There was statistically significant difference between the studied patients grouped according to the clinical
outcome regarding ACS types.
Conclusion: Pre-diabetic patients had worse in-hospital clinical outcomes compared with patients without
