Multicenter Study Observational Study
Diabetes mellitus, frailty and prognosis in very elderly patients with acute coronary syndromes.
The magnitude of the association between diabetes (DM) and outcomes in elderly patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is controversial. No study assessed the prognostic impact of DM according to frailty status in these patients. ⋯ About 40% of elderly patients with ACS had previous known DM diagnosis. The association between DM and outcomes was different according to frailty status.
