Adjustment of the GRACE score by 2-hour post-load glucose improves prediction of long-term major adverse cardiac events in acute coronary syndrome in patients without known diabetes
European Heart Journal May 02, 2018
Chattopadhyay S, et al. - Researchers examined if 2-hour post-load plasma glucose (2h-PG) could improve Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score (GRS) based prognostic models in patients after an acute coronary event (ACE) without known diabetes mellitus (DM). Findings demonstrated that 2h-PG served as an independent predictor of adverse outcome after ACE, even after adjusting for the GRS, while fasting plasma glucose (FPG) did not. Furthermore, the predictability of prognostic models containing GRS was improved by 2h-PG, but not FPG.
