Prognostic significance of stress hyperglycemia ratio in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a dose-response meta-analysis.

Stress hyperglycemia is common during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with worse outcomes. The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), which standardizes acute glucose levels to chronic glycemic status, may provide superior prognostic information compared with admission glucose alone.
