Stress Hyperglycemia Drives the Risk of Hospitalization for Chest Pain in Patients With Ischemia and Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries (Ischemia with Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA))

Diabetes CarePublished Cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our data indicate, to our knowledge for the first time, that SHR on hospital admission significantly and independently increases the risk of rehospitalization for chest pain in INOCA patients.

Study context

Population
INOCA patients referred to Casa di Cura Montevergine, Mercogliano (Avellino), Italy, Jan 2016–Jan 2021 for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)completed the study
Participants
2,874 patients
Exposure
Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) >1 vs SHR ≤1
Outcome
Rehospitalization for chest pain
Follow-up
1-year follow-up
Methodological detailsmultivariable analyses, propensity score matching, inverse probability of treatment weighting
  • Multivariable analyses
  • Propensity score matching
  • Inverse probability of treatment weighting

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

1 year
  • Confirmed by multivariable analyses (adjusting for age, BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, CKD, cholesterol), propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting
  • SHR >1 vs SHR ≤1: P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.
