Persistent hyperglycemia is an independent predictor of outcome in acute myocardial infarction

Table 5 Relation of quartiles of admission glucose with major adverse cardiac events, mortality and infarct size

	Quartile 1	Quartile 2	Quartile 3	Quartile 4	P-value*
Glucose range (mmol/L)	4.3–7.2	7.3–8.5	8.6–10.3	10.4–22.9
MACE (%)	14 (13.5)	23 (22.1)	24 (23.1)	28 (26.7)	0.023
30-day mortality (%)	0 (-)	2 (1.9)	8 (7.7)	7 (6.7)	0.003
LVEF (% ± SD)	44.6 ± 10.6	41.9 ± 11.4	41.8 ± 11.7	40.7 ± 12.0	<0.001
CK AUC (IU ± SD)	1001 ± 771	1283 ± 975	1505 ± 1349	1690 ± 1783	<0.001

MACE = major adverse cardiac events. LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction. SD = standard deviation. CK = creatine kinase. AUC = area under the curve. *P value denotes P value for trend.
