OBJECTIVE: In recent years, some studies have indicated that a novel
marker described as the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) can reflect the
true acute hyperglycemic status and is associated with the short-term
poor prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The
present study evaluated the association of the SHR with adverse
cardiovascular events in patients with ACS.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We consecutively enrolled 5,562 ACS
patients who underwent drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. All
subjects were divided into 5 groups according to the SHR, which was
determined by the following formula: ABG/[(28.7 × HbA1c %) - 46.7],
where ABG represents the admission blood glucose level. The primary
endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events
(MACCEs) at the two-year follow-up, and the secondary endpoint was major
adverse cardiovascular events ((MACEs) at two-year follow-up, cardiac
death and nonfatal MI at two-year follow-up, and in-hospital cardiac
death and nonfatal MI.
RESULTS: A total of 643 MACCEs were recorded during a median
follow-up of 28.3 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the
lowest MACCE incidence in quintile 3 (P < 0.001). Moreover, the
outcomes of restricted cubic spline analysis suggested that there was a
U-shaped or J-shaped association between the SHR and early and late
cardiovascular outcomes even after adjusting for other confounding
factors.
CONCLUSION: There were U-shaped associations of the SHR with the
MACCE rate and MACE rate at two-year follow-ups, and J-shaped
associations of the SHR with the in-hospital cardiac death and MI and
that at two-year follow-up in ACS patients who underwent DES
implantation; and the inflection point of SHR for poor prognosis was
0.78.
