ABSTRACT:
Hypothesis: In post-MI patients, DM is associated with worse HRQoL, increased HRU, and worse clinical outcomes.
Methods: The prospective, observational long-term risk, clinical management, and healthcare Resource utilization of stable coronary artery disease study obtained data from 8968 patients aged ?50?years 1 to 3?years post-MI (369 centers; 25 countries). Patients with ?1 of the following risk factors were included: age??65?years, history of a second MI >1 year before enrollment, multivessel coronary artery disease, creatinine clearance??15 and?<60?mL/min, and DM treated with medication. Self-reported health status was assessed at baseline, 1 and 2?years and converted to EQ-5D scores. The main outcome measures were baseline HRQoL and HRU during follow-up.
Results: DM at enrollment was 33% (2959 patients, 869 insulin treated). Mean baseline EQ-5D score (0.86 vs 0.82; P?
Conclusions: Stable post-MI patients with DM (especially insulin treated) had poorer EQ-5D scores, higher hospitalization rates and LoS, and worse clinical outcomes vs those without DM. Strategies focusing specifically on this high-risk population should be developed to improve outcomes.

<h4>Background</h4>Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. We compared health-related quality of life (HRQoL), healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and clinical outcomes of stable post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients with and without DM.<h4>Hypothesis</h4>In post-MI patients, DM is associated with worse HRQoL, increased HRU, and worse clinical outcomes.<h4>Methods</h4>The prospective, observational long-term risk, clinical management, and healthcare Re ...[more]
