The ORs of MI versus UA in patients with acute coronary syndromes
| MI vs UA | ||
|---|---|---|
| OR | CI (95%) | |
| Glucose control* | 1.78 | 1.19 to 2.67 |
| Age group† | 1.02 | 1.00 to 1.04 |
| Sex (male) | 1.71 | 1.21 to 2.40 |
| Cholesterol | 1.06 | 0.94 to 1.19 |
| Smoking | 2.42 | 1.61 to 3.62 |
| Hypertension | 0.84 | 0.60 to 1.18 |
Associations were estimated by binary logistic multivariate regression and expressed as ORs with 95% CIs. MI versus UA was the dependent variable and age by 10 year age groups, sex, serum cholesterol, smoking, hypertension and glucose control were entered as covariates into the same model that included 742 participants.
*Impaired glucose homoeostasis (HbA1c ≥5.5%+blood glucose ≥7.5 mM).
†Age groups: 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70–74 years.
HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; MI, myocardial infarction; UA, unstable angina.
