ABSTRACT

Introducción: La prediabetes es un estado intermedio de hiperglicemia, con una alta prevalencia en la población colombiana. Su relación con enfermedad cardiovascular y complicaciones macro y microvasculares se ha establecido, incrementando la evidencia científica en la literatura reciente. Objetivo: Describir las enfermedades cardiovasculares (complicaciones macrovasculares) relacionadas con prediabetes, su diagnóstico, fisiopatología, el enfoque de manejo y el tratamiento avalado para prevenir estas complicaciones. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión narrativa de la literatura, mediante búsqueda de artículos científicos en Medline entre 2015 y 2021. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 83 artículos. Se describe la relación de prediabetes con enfermedad cardiovascular, mortalidad, diagnóstico y tratamiento conforme a la literatura actualizada. Conclusiones: La importancia de la prediabetes radica en su asociación con complicaciones macrovasculares y su mortalidad, lo que pone en evidencia la importancia de estudiarla, seguirla y tratarla para evitar la progresión a diabetes mellitus, el desarrollo de desenlaces que finalizan en aumento de la morbimortalidad, alteración de la calidad de vida e incremento de los costos en salud.


Introduction: Prediabetes is an intermediate state of hyperglycemia with a high prevalence in the Colombian population. The relationship between prediabetes and cardiovascular disease as well as its association with macro and microvascular complications has been established, with scientific evidence increasing in recent literature. Objective: To describe cardiovascular diseases (macrovascular complications) related to prediabetes, their diagnosis, physiopathology, management approach, and treatment to prevent those complications. Materials and methods: A narrative review of the literature was conducted, searching for scientific articles in Medline during the 2015-2021 period. Results: 83 articles were selected, which described the relationship between prediabetes with cardiovascular disease, mortality, diagnosis, and treatment based on recent reports. Conclusions: The importance of prediabetes lies in its association with macrovascular complications and its mortality. This association highlights the importance of studying, monitoring, and treating this disease to avoid its progression to diabetes mellitus, the development of outcomes that end in increased morbidity and mortality, diminished quality of life, and increased health care costs.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La enfermedad de cambios mínimos es una causa rara de síndrome nefrótico en el adulto, y su relación con el hipotiroidismo es más rara aún. Se considera que esta patología renal responde favorablemente al manejo con glucocorticoides y tiene una baja frecuencia de resistencia. Su abordaje hoy en día es objeto de investigación. Objetivo: Describir una rara etiología de síndrome nefrótico en el adulto con presentación, tratamiento y desenlace infrecuentes. Presentación del caso: Paciente femenino de 53 años quien inicia con síndrome nefrótico por enfermedad de cambios mínimos cortico-resistente y su asociación con un hipotiroidismo descontrolado, quien requiere manejo con rituximab y control de la enfermedad endocrinológica asociada, como enfermedad de base. Conclusiones: En este caso clínico se muestra como las enfermedades citadas pueden coexistir y el tratamiento en conjunto es necesario. El establecimiento de nuevas terapias en la población adulta como el rituximab podría mostrar beneficio, como en este caso. Sin embargo, aún existe la necesidad de estudios de mayor evidencia que validen firmemente la efectividad de los diferentes tratamientos en este tipo de pacientes.


Introduction: Minimal change disease is a rare cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, and its association with hypothyroidism is even more exceptional. This renal pathology is considered to respond favorably to glucocorticoid management and has a low resistance frequency. How to approach this disease is currently under investigation. Objective: To describe a rare etiology of adult nephrotic syndrome with unusual presentation, treatment, and outcome. Case presentation: A 53 years-old female patient who initially experienced nephrotic syndrome due to steroid-resistant minimal change disease, which was also associated with uncontrolled hypothyroidism. She required management with rituximab and control of the associated endocrinological disease, which was considered as the underlying disease. Conclusions: This clinical case shows (i) how the two aforementioned diseases can coexist and (ii) that a joint treatment is necessary. Establishing new therapies may be beneficial for adult populations, such as the benefits seen in this case with the use of rituximab. However, further studies are needed to strongly validate the effectiveness of the different treatments for these types of patients.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La Paracoccidioidomicosis (PCM) es una infección micótica endémica en Latinoamérica que se caracteriza por compromiso multiorgánico. El diagnóstico tardío y la diseminación sistémica favorecen complicaciones como falla respiratoria e insuficiencia suprarrenal que condicionan el desenlace del paciente. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 51 años de edad, procedente de la costa pacífica colombiana, inmunocompetente con PCM diseminada a sistema nervioso central (SNC), pulmones y glándulas suprarrenales con debut clínico de síndrome neurológico. Durante estancia hospitalaria presenta pico febril, colapso hemodinámico, aci dosis metabólica severa e hiperlactatemia. Se hemocultivó e inició tratamiento antimicrobiano de amplio espectro con piperacilina-tazobactam (4.5 gr/IV cada 8 horas), vancomicina (15 mg/kg) más anfotericina B desoxicolato (1 mg/kg/dia) y se trasladó a unidad de cuidado intensivo. En la muestras de tejido suprarrenal se identificaron levaduras multigemantes de Paracoccidioides spp e inflamacion crónica granulomatosa. A los seis días posteriores a su ingreso, el paciente continuó con deterioro hemodinámico, desequilibrio electrolítico, shock séptico e insuficiencia suprarrenal que conllevó a su deceso a pesar de las medidas terapéuticas establecidas. Se intenta exponer el desafío que representa el diagnóstico de PCM sistémica y promover su sospecha clínica para poder identificar la enfermedad de forma oportuna y evitar complicaciones que conduzcan a un desenlace fulminante.


Abstract Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an endemic fungal infection in Latin America characterized by multi-organ involvement. Late diagnosis and systemic dissemina tion favor complications such as respiratory failure and adrenal insufficiency, which determine the outcome of the patient. We present the case of a 51-year-old patient from the Colombian Pacific coast, immunocompetent with PCM spread to the central nervous system (CNS), lungs, and adrenal glands with a clinical debut of the neurological syndrome. During a hospital stay, he presented fever peak, hemodynamic collapse, severe metabolic acidosis, and hyperlactatemia. Blood culture and began broad-spectrum antimicrobial treatment with piperacillin-tazobactam (4.5 gr / IV every 8 hours), vancomycin (15 mg/kg) plus amphotericin B deoxycholate (1 mg/kg/day) and was transferred to the intensive care unit. Paracoccidioides spp multigene yeasts and chronic granulomatous inflammation were identified in adrenal tissue samples. Six days after admission, the patient continued with hemodynamic deterioration, electrolyte imbalance, septic shock, and adrenal insufficiency that led to death despite the established therapeutic measures. The aim is to expose the challenge posed by the diagnosis of systemic PCM and promote its clinical suspicion to identify the disease promptly and avoid complications that lead to a fulminant outcome.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El síndrome serotoninérgico es una condición potencialmente mortal causada por medicamentos que afectan el metabolismo de la serotonina o que actúan como agonistas directos del receptor de esta o una combinación de ambos. El síndrome da lugar a una variedad de manifestaciones mentales, autonómicas y neuromusculares, que pueden variar desde leves hasta potencialmente mortales. Se reporta el caso clínico de un paciente el cual desarrolló este síndrome por la coadministración y sinergismo de linezolid y fentanilo, con una gran variedad de características clínicas, desde las más sutiles, como cifras tensionales altas de difícil manejo mientras se encontraba bajo el efecto de sedoanalgesia, hasta las manifestaciones más floridas del síndrome posterior a la suspensión de esta. La asociación de estos medicamentos representa una etiología poco informada que puede favorecer la aparición del síndrome, mientras que el uso de benzodiazepinas puede enmascarar el cuadro dificultando su diagnóstico. MÉD.UIS.2020;33(3): 59-66


Abstract Serotonin syndrome is a life-threatening condition caused by medications that affect serotonin metabolism or that act as direct agonists for serotonin receptor or a combination of both. The syndrome gives rise to a variety of mental, autonomic, and neuromuscular manifestations, which can range from mild to life-threatening. We report a clinical case of a patient who developed this syndrome due to the co-administration and synergism of linezolid and fentanyl, with a wide variety of clinical characteristics, from the most subtle, such as high blood pressure levels difficult to manage while under the effect of sedoanalgesia, to the most florid manifestations of the syndrome after 48 hours of its suspension. The association of these drugs represents a poorly reported etiology that may favor the appearance of the syndrome, while the use of benzodiazepines may mask the condition, making its diagnosis difficult.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre tasa de filtración glomerular estimada (TFGe) y mortalidad en una cohorte retrospectiva de adultos mayores hospitalizados en una unidad geriátrica de agudos (UGA). Materiales y métodos: Se incluyó a 1.678 pacientes de 60 años o más, en Cali, Colombia, de 2012 a 2015, en seguimiento hasta 2016. El desenlace primario fue mortalidad. La función renal se estimó empleando la ecuación del Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD-4). Se agrupó la función renal según la TFGe (ml/min/1,73m2) así: levemente disminuida (≥60), moderadamente disminuida (30-59) y severamente disminuida (<30). Se hicieron análisis de sobrevida bivariados y regresión de Cox multivariado. Resultados: En el análisis univariado, los pacientes con TFGe severamente disminuida presentaron una mortalidad significativamente mayor que aquellos con TFGe superiores (p=0,046). En el grupo con MDRD severamente disminuida, la sobrevida fue menor en el grupo dependiente (índice de Barthel [IB]<60) que en el independiente (IB≥60) (prueba log rank p=0,001). En el análisis multivariado, hay un aumento significativo del riesgo de morir en ancianos con MDRD severamente disminuida (<30) comparado con MDRD levemente disminuida (≥60) (hazard ratio [HR] 1,44; intervalo confianza [IC] 95%: 1,02-2,05; p=0,039). También hubo aumento significativo del riesgo de morir en ancianos dependientes comparados con los independientes (HR 1,72; IC 95%: 1,26-2,34; p=0,000), los que tenían a la vez morbilidad alta (≥4) con albúmina baja (<3,2g/dl) comparados con aquellos con morbilidad baja (0-3) y albúmina alta (≥3,2) (HR 1,77; IC 95%: 1,18-2,65; p=0,005) y en aquellos con PCR alta (16-102mg/dl) comparados con aquellos con PCR baja (0-15) (HR 1,42; IC 95%: 1,01-2,01; p=0,043). Conclusiones: El riesgo de mortalidad tiempo después de una hospitalización en una UGA es mayor en pacientes con TFGe<30. Las puntuaciones bajas en los índices del estado funcional, la comorbilidad alta, la hipoalbuminemia y los marcadores de inflamación son factores pronósticos adicionales a tener en cuenta. La mejoría en el estado funcional podría mejorar la sobrevida posterior a la hospitalización


Objective: To determine the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and mortality in a retrospective cohort of older adults admitted to an acute care for the elderly (ACE) unit. Materials and methods: The study included 1,678 patients aged 60 years and over admitted to an AEC, in Cali, Colombia, from 2012 to 2015, and followed- up until 2016. The primary outcome was mortality. Renal function (eGFR) was estimated using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD-4) equation. The renal function was grouped according to the eGFR (ml/min/1.73m2) as follows: slightly decreased (≥60), moderately decreased (30-59), and severely decreased (<30). Bivariate survival and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed. Results: In the univariate analysis, patients with severely decreased eGFR had higher mortality than those with a higher eGFR (P=.046). In the group with severely decreased eGFR, survival was lower in the functionally dependent group (Barthel index [IB]<60) than in the independent group (IB≥60) (log rank test; P=.001). In the multivariate analysis, there was a significant increase in the risk of death in the elderly with severely decreased eGFR (<30) compared with slightly decreased eGFR (≥60) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.44; 95% confidence interval [CI]; 1.02-2.05, P=.039). There was also a significant increase in the risk of death in the dependent elderly compared to the independent ones [HR 1.72; 95% CI; 1.26-2.34, P=.000], those who had the high morbidity (≥4) with low albumin (<3.2g/dL) compared with those with low morbidity (0-3) and high albumin (≥3.2) [HR 1.77; 95% CI; 1.18-2.65, P=.005], and in those with a high (16-102mg/dL) C-reactive protein (CRP) compared with those with low CRP (0-15) [HR 1.42; 95% CI; 1.01-2.01, P=.043]. Conclusions: The risk of mortality after hospital admission to an AEC unit is greater in patients with eGFR<30. Poor functional status performance, high comorbidity, low plasma albumin, and increased inflammation markers are additional prognostic factors to be taken into account. The improvement in the functional status could improve the survival after hospitalisation

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: La artritis reumatoide es una enfermedad inflamatoria con una prevalencia de hasta el 5% y con un impacto significativo sobre la calidad de vida. La artritis reumatoide representa una condición médica de alto costo; para el año 2010 se estimó un gasto anual de 4,8 millones de dólares, según un estudio realizado en Estados Unidos. Objetivos: Realizar el análisis descriptivo de la literatura biomédica indexada en Medline entre 1996 y 2016 sobre temas relacionados con aspectos económicos de la artritis reumatoide. Materiales y métodos: El diseño es un análisis bibliométrico retrospectivo, de tipo descriptivo. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en Medline utilizando GoPubMed y Fabumed, y la siguiente estrategia de búsqueda: («Arthritis, Rheumatoid¼ [Majr]) AND («Costs and Cost Analysis¼ [Majr]) AND (1996:2016 [dp]). Resultados: Se obtuvieron un total de 350 referencias indexadas en 80 revistas diferentes. Rheumatology con 6 (1,71%) referencias fue la revista con mayor número de publicaciones, seguida por Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology con 5 (1,42%). Estados Unidos fue el país más productivo con 30 (8,57%) publicaciones. En Latinoamérica, Brasil aporta 3 publicaciones (0,85%), al igual que Colombia con 3 publicaciones (0,85%). A lo largo del periodo estudiado se observó una tasa de crecimiento de 41,4%. Conclusiones: Colombia ha aportado menos del 1% de la producción científica a escala mundial; teniendo en cuenta que los análisis económicos no son extrapolables, consideramos necesario el desarrollo de nuevas propuestas y contribuciones en esta área de investigación en nuestro país.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disorder with a prevalence of up to 5%, and with a significant impact on the quality of life quality. Rheumatoid arthritis is a high cost medical condition. According to a study carried out in the United States by 2010 an annual expenditure of 4.8 million dollars was estimated. Objective: To perform a descriptive analysis of the Medline-indexed biomedical literature on economic aspects of rheumatoid arthritis published between 1996 and 2016. Materials and methods: The design is retrospective descriptive literature analysis, with a search performed in Medline using GoPubMed and Fabumed, with the following search strategy: ("Arthritis, Rheumatoid" [Majr]) AND ("Costs and Cost Analysis" [Majr]) AND (1996:2016 [dp]). Results: A total of 350 references were obtained on economic aspects of rheumatoid arthritis indexed in 80 different journals. Rheumatology, with 6 (1.71%) references was the top journal, followed by Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology with 5 (1.42%). The United States was the most productive country with 30 (8.57%) publications. In Latin America, Brazil and Colombia each contributed with 3 (0.85%) references. During the period studied, there was a growth rate of 41.4% Conclusions: Colombia has contributed with less than 1% of scientific production worldwide, and taking into account that the economic analysis cannot be decontextualized, the development of new proposals and contributions in this research area in our country is considered necessary.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: determinar si los niveles de colesterol total predicen recuperación en actividades básicas de la vida diaria. Métodos: estudio de cohorte prospectiva que incluyó 806 pacientes ≥ 60 años, hospitalizados en la unidad geriátrica de agudos entre julio de 2013 y agosto de 2015. El desenlace fue desarrollo de discapacidad evaluada mediante el índice de Barthel ≤ 60 en cuatro momentos: 15 días antes del ingreso, al ingreso, al egreso y 30 días después. El colesterol total fue dividido en cuartiles. Se incluyeron variables demográficas, sociales y clínicas. Se usaron los modelos de regresión logística multivariada para predecir discapacidad y mortalidad, junto con el procedimiento Glimmix para análisis longitudinales y para la predicción del índice de Barthel total. Resultados: la edad fue 82,3 ± 7,2. El 52% eran mujeres. En el análisis multivariado la discapacidad estuvo asociada con edad ≥ 85 años, alta comorbilidad, deterioro social, hipoalbuminemia, MMSE < 19 y delirium. Los cuartiles más altos de colesterol total (Q2, Q3, Q4) tuvieron menor riesgo para discapacidad que el cuartil más bajo (Q1). El análisis longitudinal mostró disminución del índice de Barthel en pacientes con estancia hospitalaria > 15 días, hipoalbuminemia, MMSE < 19 y delirium. Los cuartiles más altos de colesterol total alcanzan mayor índice de Barthel a través del tiempo en comparación con el Q1. La mortalidad estuvo asociada con alta comorbilidad, índice de Barthel ≤ 60 al ingreso y MMSE < 19. Los niveles de colesterol total no se asociaron con mortalidad. Conclusiones: el colesterol total en los cuartiles más altos estuvo asociado con mejoría en la recuperación de las actividades básicas de la vida diaria desde 15 días antes del ingreso hospitalario hasta 30 días después de alta, comparado con el Q1.


Abstract Objective: To determine whether the total cholesterol levels predict recovery in basic activities of daily living. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 806 patients ≥ 60 years-old, admitted into an Acute Geriatric Unit between July 2013 and August 2015. The outcome was development of a disability assessed by a Barthel index ≤ 60 at four different times: 15 days before admission, on admission, at discharge, and 30 days afterwards. The total cholesterol was divided into quartiles. A record was made of the social and clinical demographic variables. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to predict disability and mortality, together with the Glimmix procedure for the longitudinal analysis and for the prediction of the total Barthel index. Results: The mean age of the patients was 82.3 ± 7.2 years, and 52% were women. In the multivariate analysis, disability was associated with an age ≥ 85 years, high comorbidity, social impairment, low plasma albumin, MMSE < 19, and delirium. The highest total cholesterol quartiles (Q2, Q3, Q4) had a lower risk for disability than the lowest quartile (Q1). The longitudinal analysis showed a decrease in the Barthel index in patients with a hospital stay of > 15 days, low plasma albumin, MMSE < 19, and delirium. The highest total cholesterol quartiles reach a higher Barthel index over time compared with the lowest quartile. The mortality was associated with a high comorbidity, a Barthel index ≤ 60 on admission, and MMSE < 19. The total cholesterol levels were not associated with mortality. Conclusions: The total cholesterol in the highest quartiles was associated with an improvement in the recovery of basic activities of daily living from 15 days before hospital admission up to 30 days after discharge compared with the lowest quartile (Q1).

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La degeneración hepatolenticular (enfermedad de Wilson) es una entidad hereditaria rara, que afecta generalmente el hígado, pero puede presentarse en diferentes formas y tener muchas complicaciones sistémicas. Se debe tener un alto índice de sospecha para su diagnóstico, sobre todo en pacientes jóvenes, considerar los principales grupos de riesgo y ofrecer un tratamiento oportuno para evitar las complicaciones. Se describen tres casos de esta enfermedad en una familia originaria de Granada, Antioquia, atendidos en un centro de III nivel en Cali, Colombia. El caso índice se inició con trastorno neurosiquiátrico, el segundo se diagnosticó con base en el antecedente familiar y el tercero debutó con hallazgos de esteatohepatitis. Se aplicó el puntaje propuesto por el Octavo Encuentro de Enfermedad de Wilson, que fue de 3 en dos pacientes y de 4 en el tercero, lo que ayudó al enfoque diagnóstico. Se hizo seguimiento durante cinco años administrando D-penicilamina sin evidenciar progresión de la enfermedad y con efectos adversos mínimos.


SUMMARY Hepatolenticular degeneration (Wilson disease) is a rare inherited disease that usually affects the liver, but may present in different forms and have multiple systemic complications. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, mainly in young patients, and to take into account the main risk groups. Opportune and adequate treatment is important to avoid complications. We present three cases of this disease occurring in a family from Granada (Antioquia, Colombia), and treated at a III level institution in Cali (Colombia). The index case debuted with neuropsychiatric disorder, the second one was diagnosed on the basis of the family history and the third one started with steatohepatitis. The diagnostic score proposed by the Eighth Meeting on Wilson's disease was 3 in two of the patients, and 4 in the third one. They were treated with D-penicillamine and monitored for 5 years, with minimal adverse events and no evidence of disease progression.


RESUMO A degeneração hepatolenticular (Doença de Wilson) é uma entidade hereditária rara, que afeta geralmente o fígado, mas pode apresentar-se em diferentes maneiras e ter muitas complicações sistémicas. Se deve ter um alto índice de suspeita para seu diagnóstico, sobre tudo em pacientes jovens, considerar os principais grupos de risco e oferecer um tratamento oportuno para evitar as complicações. Se descrevem três casos desta doença numa família originária de Granada, Antioquia, atendidos num centro de III nível em Cali, Colômbia. O caso índice se iniciou com transtorno neuropsiquiátrico, o segundo se diagnosticou com base no antecedente familiar e o terceiro debutou com descoberta de esteato-hepatite. Se aplicou a pontuação proposto pelo Oitavo Encontro de Doença de Wilson, que foi de 3 em dois pacientes e de 4 no terceiro, que o ajudou ao enfoque diagnóstico. Se fez seguimento durante cinco anos administrando D-penicilamina sem evidenciar progressão da doença e com efeitos adversos mínimos.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las alteraciones en el metabolismo de la glucosa son un factor de riesgo y de peor pronóstico para infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM), pero esta información en población latinoamericana es limitada. Por tanto, evaluamos la asociación del estado glucémico con desenlaces a corto y largo plazo en pacientes con un primer IAM. Métodos: Estudio observacional de cohorte, multicéntrico, prospectivo, conducido en 8 hospitales de Colombia y Ecuador. Resultados: Se incluyeron en total 439 pacientes con diagnóstico confirmado de IAM, de los cuales 305 (69,5%) presentaron prediabetes o diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). En comparación con el grupo de normoglucemia, los pacientes con DM2 conocida presentaron mayor riesgo de estancia hospitalaria prolongada (HR: 2,60, IC 95%: 1,38-4,92, p = 0,003), de Killip clase iii/iv (HR: 9,46, IC 95%: 2,20-40,62, p = 0,002) y de insuficiencia cardiaca intrahospitalaria (HR: 10,76, IC 95%: 3,37-34,31, p < 0,001). Los pacientes con prediabetes, DM2 conocida y DM2 nueva tuvieron tasas más altas de episodios adversos cardiovasculares mayores en el seguimiento a 3 años. Conclusión: Alteraciones en el metabolismo de la glucosa tienen una importante significación pronóstica a corto y a largo plazo en pacientes latinoamericanos sobrevivientes a un primer IAM


Background: Alterations in glucose metabolism have been reported as risk and poor prognostic factors for acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however in Latin-American population this information is limited. Thus, an evaluation was performed on the association between glycaemic status and short- and long-term outcomes in patients with a first AMI. Methods: A multicentre, prospective, observational, cohort study was conducted in 8 hospitals from Colombia and Ecuador. Results: A total of 439 patients with confirmed AMI were included, of which 305 (69.5%) had prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Compared with normal glycaemia group, patients with known DM2 had greater risk of prolonged hospital stay (HR: 2.60, 95% CI: 1.38-4.92, P = .003), Killip class iii/iv (HR: 9.46, 95% CI: 2.20-40.62, P = .002), and in-hospital heart failure (HR: 10.76, 95% CI: 3.37-34.31, P < .001). Patients with prediabetes, new DM2, and known DM2 showed higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events after 3 years follow-up. Conclusion: Glucose metabolism abnormalities have an important significance in the short- and long-term prognosis in Latin-American patients that survive a first AMI

METHODS: A multicentre, prospective, observational, cohort study was conducted in 8 hospitals from Colombia and Ecuador. RESULTS: A total of 439 patients with confirmed AMI were included, of which 305 (69.5%) had prediabetes or type2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Compared with normal glycaemia group, patients with known DM2 had greater risk of prolonged hospital stay (HR: 2.60, 95%CI: 1.38-4.92, P=.003), Killip class iii/iv (HR: 9.46, 95%CI: 2.20-40.62, P=.002), and in-hospital heart failure (HR: 10.76, 95%CI: 3.37-34.31, P<.001). Patients with prediabetes, new DM2, and known DM2 showed higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events after 3years follow-up. CONCLUSION: Glucose metabolism abnormalities have an important significance in the short- and long-term prognosis in Latin-American patients that survive a first AMI.
