Processes and outcomes of care for diabetic acute myocardial infarction patients in Ontario: do physicians undertreat?

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To compare the health service utilization and long-term outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with and without diabetes in Ontario. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:We examined 25,697 patients from Ontario (6,052 and 19,645 patients with and without diabetes, respectively) who were hospitalized because of AMI between 1 April 1992 and 31 December 1993. Using linked administrative databases, we determined the use of invasive cardiac procedures at 1 year as well as the intensity of specialty follow-up care and use of evidence-based pharmacotherapies (among elderly individuals) within the first 90 days of hospital discharge. Outcomes examined included mortality and recurrent cardiac admissions at 30 days and 5 years post AMI. Multivariable analyses adjusted for sociodemographic and case-mix characteristics, attending physician specialty, and admitting hospital characteristics. RESULTS:Despite being at significantly higher risk for death at baseline, diabetic patients were less likely to be followed-up by a cardiologist (22.2 vs. 25.6%, P < 0.001), to receive myocardial revascularization (12.6 vs. 14.9%, P < 0.001), to receive beta-blockers (34.2 vs. 44.0%, P < 0.001), and to receive aspirin therapy (59.7 vs. 63.5%, P < 0.001) after AMI than their nondiabetic counterparts. Diabetes was an important independent predictor of 5-year morbidity (adjusted hazard ratio 1.52, 95% CI 1.45-1.59) and 5-year mortality outcomes (1.57, 1.50-1.63). Variations in processes of care were marginally associated with higher nonfatal complication rates for diabetic patients. CONCLUSIONS:When managing AMI patients with diabetes in Ontario, physician treatment aggressiveness does not correspond appropriately to the baseline risk of patients.
