Prognosis
of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) among diabetic patients is
different than with non-diabetics. Diabetic patients have statistically
significantly grater mortality in comparison with non-diabetics
who suffered AMI. Mortality among women with diabetes is greater
than among men with diabetes. Goal of this paper was to examine
differences, in percents, of lethal outcomes from AMI among patients
treated in hospitals, diabetics and non-diabetics and gender differences
within lethal outcomes of AMI separately in both groups. Research
is performed in two groups of diabetics and non-diabetics who
are treated at the ward for Internal diseases in Cantonal Hospital
Zenica during 1991, 1993 and 1996. In this period there was 506
patients with AMI treated, among them 94 (18,58%) had diabetes,
and there was 412 (81,42%) non-diabetics. Among 94 diabetics there
were 19 (20,21%) of lethal outcomes and among 412 non-diabetics
was 114 (27,67%) lethal outcomes. Among non-diabetics with AMI
there were 296 (17,84%) male patients, and 116 (28,16%) female
patients. From 296 male patients in total 65 (21,95%) had lethal
outcome, and from 116 female patients lethal outcome was found
in 49 (42,24%) cases. Among 94 diabetics with AMI there was 41
male patients (43,62%), and 53 female (56,38%). From 41 males
lethal outcome had 3 (7,3%), and from 53 females lethal outcome
was in 16 (30,2%) cases. Among diabetics and non-diabetics with
AMI we did not found statistically significant differences in
percentages of lethal outcomes. In the group of non-diabetics
with AMI women had, in comparison to males statistically significant
larger number of lethal outcomes.In the group of diabetics with
AMI lethal outcome among women in comparison to males was 4 times
more frequent.
