OBJECTIVE: This study sought to investigate the influence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) on immediate results after coronary stenting implantation (CSI) according to clinical presentation. METHODS: Between January, 1997 and December, 2003, 11,874 diabetic patients underwent CSI, as recorded by CENIC database: 7,386 (62.3%) had chronic coronary disease (CCD); 3,142 (26.4%) acute coronary syndrome with non-ST segment elevation (ACSNST); and 1,346 (11.3%), reported acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with ST Segment elevation. Those groups were compared with 48,103 non-diabetics: 30,980 (64.5%) with CCD; 10,938 (22.7%), with non-elevated ST segments and unstable angina; and 6,185 (12.8%), with AMI. RESULTS: Diabetic patients presented worse clinical and angiographic characteristics. Diabetics with CCD showed similar incidence of MACE as compared to non-diabetics (0.98% x 0.91%, p=0.5971); however, diabetics with ACSNST and AMI reported higher incidence of events: 2.76% x 1.46% (p<0.0001) and 7.87% x 4.1% (p<0.0001), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed DM to act as independent risk predictor for larger adverse events under non-elevated ST segment and unstable angina (ACSNST) (OR: 1.92 CI: 1.46-2.52 p<0.0001) and with AMI (OR: 2.0 CI: 1.57-2.54 p<=0.0001) and no influence for CCD (OR: 1.08 CI: 0.83-1.42 p=0.5470 CONCLUSION: Diabetic patients with CCD reported similar outcome as compared to the non-diabetics; however, those with ACSNST and AMI presented higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events during hospital stay.
