OBJECTIVES: To analyse the relation between serum @entity413 concentration and hospital outcome across the whole spectrum of @entity1187 . METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study of 2127 @entity1 presenting with @entity1187 . The @entity1 were stratified into quartile groups (Q1 to Q4) defined by serum @entity413 concentrations of 5.8, 7.2, and 10.0 mmol/l. The relation between quartile group and major in-hospital complications was analysed. RESULTS: The proportion of @entity1 with @entity583 increased incrementally across the quartile groups, from 21.4% in Q1 to 47.9% in Q4 (p < 0.0001). The trend for frequency of in-hospital major complications was similar, particularly @entity1002 ( @entity1002 ) (Q1 6.4%, Q4 25.2%, p < 0.0001) and @entity204 (Q1 0.7%, Q4 6.1%, p < 0.0001). The relations were linear, each @entity413 quartile increment being associated with an odds ratio of 1.46 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27 to 1.70) for @entity1002 and 1.52 (95% CI 1.17 to 1.97) for @entity204 . Although complication rates were higher for a discharge diagnosis of @entity583 than for @entity1459 , there was no evidence that the effects of serum @entity413 concentration were different for the two groups, there being no significant interaction with discharge diagnosis in the associations between @entity413 quartile and @entity1002 (p = 0.69) or @entity204 (p = 0.17). Similarly there was no significant interaction with @entity6 status in the associations between @entity413 quartile and @entity1002 (p = 0.08) or @entity204 (p = 0.09). CONCLUSION: Admission glycaemia stratified @entity1 with @entity1187 according to their risk of in-hospital @entity1002 and cardiac mortality. There was no detectable glycaemic threshold for these adverse effects. The prognostic correlates of admission glycaemia were unaffected by @entity6 status and did not differ significantly between @entity1 with @entity583 and those with @entity1459 .
