A quality of care and outcomes assessment in-hospital

Methods: TRIUMPH is a multicenter MI registry of 3469 pts enrolled from 2005-08, of whom 601 (17%) had admission hyperglycemia (glucose >140 mg/dL) without prior DM. Overall, 500 pts had A1C evaluated: 330 as part of clinical care, and an additional 170 pts as part of the study (results unavailable to clinicians). AHT was defined as discharge prescription of any oral or injectable antihyperglycemic agent. Pts were divided into those with vs without clinically available A1C and stratified by A1C subgroup (<7, 7-9, >9). Poisson regression models evaluated if A1C was associated with AHT.
