Mortality after first myocardial infarction in diabetic and non-diabetic people between 1985 and 2009. The MONICA/KORA registry (original) (raw)

“…There were 252 studies on the impact of diabetes mellitus on mortality after MI or ACS for which a detailed assessment of the full-text was performed. We finally included 110 studies [1,2,[7][8][9][10]. The reasons for exclusion were: studies not reporting number and crude all-cause mortality rates of diabetic vs. nondiabetic patients (n = 23), studies not focusing on MI/ACS (n = 4), studies in which diabetic patients were matched with non-diabetic patients (n = 8), studies focusing on MI patients in cardiogenic shock (n = 5), studies not reporting the inclusion period (n = 5), studies with an inclusion period N5 years (n = 42), studies not reporting early or 6-12 months year mortality (n = 16), and studies with overlapping data (n = 39).…”
