Impact of Non-ST-segment elevation Myocardial Infarction on outcomes of Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Hospitalized Patients: A National Inpatient Sample Analysis

Abstract Body (Do not enter title and authors here): Introduction:
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has a broad spectrum of complications and is one of the leading 5 causes of hospital admissions in the US. Decompensated DM is associated with high mortality in hospitalized patients. Cardiac ischemia and related events are proposed to be increasingly prevalent in hospitalized patients with decompensated diabetes. Numerous studies and reports have suggested that elevation in troponin levels is associated with high mortality in such patients. Notably, there have only been a few studies that assessed the prevalence of NSTEMI (Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) and its effect on outcomes in patients hospitalized with Diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA).
Methods:
We aimed to compare the outcomes of DKA in hospitalized adults (age >18 years) with NSTMI with those without NSTEMI using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2018 to 2020. NIS is the largest publicly available all-payer inpatient care database in the United States, containing data on more than seven million hospital stays.
Results:
There were a total of 1113295 hospitalizations identified with a diagnosis of DKA. Of these, 9860 (0.88%) patients had NSTEMI. The mean age of this subpopulation was 38.71 years. Among these patients, 48.59% were female, and 58.40% were male. We attempted to assess the impact of NSTEMI on the occurrence of complications such as cardiac arrest, acute renal failure (ARF), Acute liver failure (ALF), Acute heart failure (Acute HF), and acute respiratory failure in patients admitted with DKA. The results of this analysis are depicted in the table below. The cost of hospitalization for DKA with NSTEMI was $35878 higher and the length of stay was 50% longer compared to the patients with DKA without NSTEMI. The Odds ratio for mortality was 2.84 for patients with NSTEMI.
Conclusions:
Our analysis suggests that the occurrence of NSTEMI negatively impacts outcomes in DKA patients. The occurrence of primary outcomes assessed in this study (Cardiac arrest, ARF, ALF, Acute HF, and Acute respiratory failure) was significantly higher in DKA patients with concomitant diagnosis of NSTEMI. NSTEMI also increased the cost burden on hospitalizations for DKA.
