Baseline clinical characteristics
There were no significant differences between the five groups in the baseline characteristics (Age, Male, Smoking, LVEF, Hypertension, Contrast volume, Hemoglobin, TG, TC, HDL-C, Hydration amount, Aspirin, Clopidogrel, b-blockers, ACEI/ARB, Diuretics, CCBs) before operation. Patients with elevated HbA1C levels had higher LDL levels (p = 0.010), BMI (p < 0.001) and Preoperative FBG (p < 0.001). In addition, patients with higher levels of HbA1C were more often on therapy with hypoglycemic agents (p = 0.033), Insulin (p = 0.011) and PCI. (p = 0.027) (Table 1)

Table 1. Data are expressed as mean ± SD or n (%). ACEI: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB: angiotensin receptor blocker; BMI: body mass index; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; CCB: calcium channel blockers; FBG: fasting blood glucose; PCI: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Comparison of Scr level and CIN incidence in each group
Patients with elevated HbA1C had higher basal Scr (p < 0.0001), higher Scr values at 48 h and 72 h after CAG/PCI (p < 0.0001, Table 1). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting CIN. CIN was taken as the dependent variable, and factors that may affect the development of CIN (male, age, LVEF, Contrast volume, Hydration amount, ACEI/ARB, Diuretics, CCBs) were taken as independent variables. CIN was used as the dependent variable to exclude confounding factors. (OR = 2.019(1.362–3.209), p = 0.001)
The multivariate analysis confirmed the association between HbA1C and the risk of CIN after adjustment for baseline confounding factors. The results showed that patients with elevated HbA1C (above the median value 8.75%) in the main high-risk subgroup had a higher risk of CIN, such as BMI (BMI > 23.9 kg/m2: adjusted OR = 1.909(1.196–3.047), p = 0.007; BMI ≤ 23.9 kg/m2: adjusted OR = 2.631(0.922–7.512), p = 0.071), LDL (LDL > 2.59 mmol/L: adjusted OR = 1.797(0.949–3.403), p = 0.072; LDL ≤ 2.59 mmol/L: adjusted OR = 2.314(1.312–4.084), p = 0.004), FBG (FBG > 7.1 mmol/L: adjusted OR = 1.592(0.973–2.604), p = 0.064; FBG ≤ 7.1 mmol/L: adjusted OR = 2.017(0.780–5.216), p = 0.148), PCI (PCI: adjusted OR = 1.688(1.032–2.762), p = 0.037; No PCI: adjusted OR = 3.007(1.198–7.549), p = 0.019).(Fig. 2)
Figure 2. 8.8% is the median elevated HbA1C levels. BMI: body mass index; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FBG: fasting blood glucose; PCI: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
The trend test was used to further demonstrate the relationship between HbA1C levels and CIN incidence. It can be seen from the changes in Hazard Ratio (HR) (1.000,1.248,1.553,2.625,5.829), with the increase of HbA1C levels, the incidence of CIN increases gradually with a significant trend (p < 0.0001).
