31 Background: The prognostic impact of hyperglycemia (HG) in acute heart failure (AHF) is controversial. Our aim is to
32 examine the impact of HG on short- and long-term survival in AHF patients.
33 Methods: Data from the Heart Function Assessment Registry Trial in Saudi Arabia (HEARTS) for patients who
34 had available random blood sugar (RBS) were analyzed. The enrollment period was from October 2009 to December
35 2010. Comparisons were performed according to the RBS levels on admission as either <11.1 mmol/L or 11.1 mmol/
36 L. Primary outcomes were hospital adverse events and short- and long-term mortality rates.
37 Results: A total of 2511 patients were analyzed. Of those, 728 (29%) had HG. Compared with patients with normo-
38 glycemia (NG), HG patients had higher rates of hospital, 30-day, and 1-year mortality rates (8.8% vs. 5.6%; p = 0.003,
39 10.4% vs. 7.2%; p = 0.007, and 21.8% vs. 18.4%; p = 0.04, respectively). There were no differences between the two
40 groups in 2- or 3-year mortality rates. After adjustment for relevant confounders, HG remained an independent pre-
41 dictor for hospital and 30-day mortality [odds ratio (OR) = 1.6; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–2.42; p = 0.021, and
42 OR = 1.55; 95% CI 1.07–2.25; p = 0.02, respectively].

43 Conclusion: HG on admission is independently associated with hospital and short-term mortality in AHF
44 patients. Future research should focus on examining the impact of tight glycemic control on outcomes of AHF
45 patients.
