OBJECTIVE: @entity4854 is a frequent observation in the @entity1187 . We analyzed the relationship between @entity4854 on admission and @entity1 with @entity1187 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective study of 455 @entity1 with @entity1187 with and without elevation of ST segment with high risk according to ACA/AHA criteria. We divided the sample according to the median glycemia on admission into < 139 mg/dl and >=  139 mg/dl. We studied the analytic, electrocardiography, echocardiography and epidemiologic variables. Using the Cox Proportional Hazard Model, we analyzed their relationship with the mortality as principal variable during a six-month period after the @entity1187 . RESULTS: Mean age was 64.3    12.7 years, 80.4% were male and 21.8% had been diagnosed with @entity6 . Mean glycemia on admission was 163.3    71.8 mg/dl. Forty-seven @entity1 died (10.3%), Mean glycemia of those who had died was 189.8    78.8 mg/dl compared to 160.3    70.4 mg/dl in the survival group (P = 0.003). @entity1 with @entity4854 on admission >=  139 mg/dl had higher mortality, hazard ratio (HR) =2.98 (confidence interval [CI 95%]: 1.06-8.4; P = 0.039). Elderly @entity1 , being a male, having @entity67 and @entity551 also showed an independent relationship with mortality. CONCLUSIONS: @entity4854 on admission >=  139 mg/dl in @entity1187 @entity1 is associated with a higher risk of @entity204 in the following six months, independently of @entity6 or other risk factors known.
