Objective:

To investigate the association between hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and all-cause mortality in NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI.

Key Findings:
  • Higher HGI was associated with more favorable survival.
  • A 1-unit increase in HGI correlated with a 43% lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR=0.57, 95% CI: 0.40–0.82, P=0.002).
  • Patients in the highest HGI tertile had a significantly lower risk of mortality compared to those in the lowest tertile (HR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.10–0.66, P=0.004).
  • RCS analysis indicated a linear inverse association between HGI and mortality.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • Single-center study may limit generalizability.
  • Potential confounding factors not fully accounted for.
Conclusion:
