Adjustment of the GRACE score by 2-hour post-load glucose improves prediction of long-term major adverse cardiac events in acute coronary syndrome in patients without known diabetes

摘要

Aims Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score (GRS), a powerful predictor of prognosis after acute coronary event (ACE), does not include a glucometabolic measure. We investigate whether 2 h post-load plasma glucose (2h-PG) could improve GRS based prognostic models in ACE patients without known diabetes mellitus (DM)
