BACKGROUND Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) could provide accurate information on the acute status of hyperglycemia. The relationship between SHR and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) prognosis remains unclear. This study was conducted to identity the association between SHR and in-hospital outcomes in patients with ACS.
METHODS A total of 12,010 patients were eventually enrolled in the study. The relationship between SHR and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) was then modeled by restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves, and all patients were divided into three groups according to the results. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the associations between the SHR and in-hospital outcomes, described as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses were also performed on different diseases.
RESULTS The median age of this cohort was 63 (54, 71) years old, and 8942 (74.5%) were male. Group 1 was defined as SHR < 0.6 (n = 426), Group 2 was defined as SHR between 0.6 and 1 (n = 5821), and Group 3 was defined as SHR > 1 (n = 5763). Compared with Group 2, Group 1 (OR = 1.891, 95% CI: 1.028-3.479, P < 0.001) and Group 3 (OR = 1.868, 95% CI: 1.434-2.434, P < 0.001) had higher risks of suffering from in-hospital MACEs. SHR was associated with higher risks of in-hospital MACEs in the subgroups of DM OR = 2.282, 95% CI: 1.477–3.524).
CONCLUSIONS Both low and high SHR levels were independently associated with in-hospital MACEs. Young males with DM, hypertension, and decreased renal function had much higher risks of suffering from SHR-correlated MACEs.
