Abstract
INTRODUCTION This review highlights the pathogenesis of both microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes and how these mechanisms influence both the management and preventative strategies of these complications. The cumulative data shown in this review suggest hyperglycemic and blood pressure control remain central to this intricate process. AREAS COVERED We reviewed the literature including retrospective, prospective trials as well as meta-analysis, and post hoc analysis of randomized trials on microvascular andmacrovascular complications. EXPERT OPINION Further research is needed to explore the ideal intervention targets and preventative strategies needed to prevent macrovascular complications. Furthermore, as the data for trials looking at microvascular complications lengthen more long-term data will further elucidate the role that the duration of diabetes has on these complications. Additionally, trials looking to maximize hyperglycemic control with multiple agents in diabetes, such as metformin, SGL2isand GLP-1 receptor agonists are currently in process, which will have implications for rates of microvascular as well as macrovascular complications.

Life expectancy following a cardiovascular event in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes: A UK multi-ethnic population-based observational study. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:1358-1366. [PMID: 37169664 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We aimed to evaluate the life expectancy following the first cardiovascular disease (CVD) event by type 2 diabetes (T2D) status and ethnicity. METHODS AND RESULTS We used the Clinical Practice Research Datalink database in England (UK), linked to the Hospital Episode Statistics information, to identify individuals with and without T2D who survived a first CVD event between 1st Jan 2007 and 31st Dec 2017; subsequent death events were extracted from the Office for National Statistics database. Ethnicity was categorised as White, South Asian (SA), Black, or other. Flexible parametric survival models were used to estimate survival and predict life expectancy. 59,939 individuals with first CVD event were included: 7596 (12.7%) with T2D (60.9% men; mean age at event: 69.7 years [63.2 years in SA, 65.9 in Black, 70.2 in White]) and 52,343 without T2D (56.7% men; 65.9 years [54.7 in Black, 58.2 in SA, 66.3 in White]). Accounting for potential confounders (sex, deprivation, lipid-lowering medication, current smoking, and pre-existing hypertension), comparing individuals with vs without T2D the mortality rate was 53% higher in White (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.53 [95% CI: 1.44, 1.62]), corresponding to a potential loss of 3.87 (3.30, 4.44) life years at the age of 50 years in individuals with T2D. No evidence of a difference in life expectancy was observed in individuals of SA (HR: 0.82 [0.52, 1.29]; -1.36 [-4.58, 1.86] life years), Black (HR: 1.26 [0.59, 2.70]; 1.21 [-2.99, 5.41] life years); and other (HR: 1.64 [0.80, 3.39]; 3.89 [-2.28, 9.99] life years) ethnic group. CONCLUSION Following a CVD event, T2D is associated with a different prognosis and life years lost among ethnic groups.

Abstract
At present, the global incidence of diabetes has increased in countries with large populations, and the changes in developing regions are particularly worthy of attention. In the past 40 years or so, the income situation in China, India, and other countries has exploded, leading to changes in the way of life and work as well as an increase in the prevalence of diabetes. Metabolic disorders caused by diabetes can lead to secondary vascular complications, which have long-term malignant effects on the heart, kidneys, brain, and other vital organs of patients. Adequate primary prevention measures are needed to reduce the incidence of diabetic vascular complications, and more attention should be given to treatment after the disease. To this end, it is necessary to determine a standardized drug and physical therapy system and to build a more efficient and low-cost chronic disease management system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke and may affect post-stroke survival. Previous large scale studies of long-term post-stroke survival are limited and most of them excluded older patients from the study population. OBJECTIVES To compare the risk factors and sociodemographic characteristics between first ischemic stroke cases with and without diabetes and to assess the mortality risk associated with diabetes. METHODS Using population-based National Stroke Registry in Israel, all patients hospitalized for a first event of ischemic stroke between the years 2014-2018 were followed for all-cause mortality. Chi-square analysis was used to compare the differences in risk factors, sociodemographic profile and cumulative mortality between patients with and without diabetes. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratio for mortality in selected timeframes. RESULTS Among 41,639 patients with a first event of ischemic stroke, 44.5% were previously diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetic patients were more likely to be males, members of the Arab ethnic group, with lower socioeconomic status and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities, anemia, leukocytosis and abnormal kidney function. Diabetes was associated with a higher mortality risk in the first year and long term, but not in the first month following stroke. Diabetes-associated mortality risk interacted with time and age, was higher in younger age and increased with time. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that diabetes is associated with a higher prevalence of comorbidities among patients with first ischemic stroke and with a higher risk for mortality in the mid and long term, which is more profound in younger age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has received growing attention. We examined the effect of HF development on prognosis compared with other cardiovascular or renal diagnoses in patients with T2D. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with new T2D diagnosis patients were identified between 1998 and 2015 through Danish nationwide registers. At yearly landmark timepoints after T2D diagnosis, we estimated the 5-year risks of death, 5-year risk ratios, and decrease in lifespan within 5 years associated with the development of HF, ischemic heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and chronic kidney disease. A total of 153 403 patients with newly diagnosed T2D were followed for a median of 9.7 years (interquartile range, 5.8-13.9) during which 48 087 patients died. The 5-year risk ratio of death associated with HF development 5 years after T2D diagnosis was 3 times higher (CI, 2.9-3.1) than patients free of diagnoses (CI, 2.9-3.1). Five-year risk ratios were lower for ischemic heart disease (1.3 [1.3-1.4]), stroke (2.2 [2.1-2.2]), chronic kidney disease (1.7 [1.7-1.8]), and peripheral artery disease (2.3 [2.3-2.4]). The corresponding decrease in lifespan within 5 years when compared with patients free of diagnoses (in months) was HF 11.7 (11.6-11.8), ischemic heart disease 1.6 (1.5-1.7), stroke 6.4 (6.3-6.5), chronic kidney disease 4.4 (4.3-4.6), and peripheral artery disease 6.9 (6.8-7.0). HF in combination with any other diagnosis imposed the greatest risk of death and decrease in life span compared with other combinations. Supplemental analysis led to similar results when stratified according to age, sex, and comorbidity status, and inclusion period. CONCLUSIONS HF development, at any year since T2D diagnosis, was associated with the highest 5-year absolute and relative risk of death, and decrease in lifespan within 5 years, when compared with development of other cardiovascular or renal diagnoses.

Abstract
Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have been found to be at an increased risk of suffering a stroke. However, research on the impact of DM on stroke outcomes is limited. Objectives: We aimed to examine the influence of DM on outcomes in ischaemic (IS) and haemorrhagic stroke (HS) patients. Methods: We included 608,890 consecutive stroke patients from the Thailand national insurance registry. In-hospital mortality, sepsis, pneumonia, acute kidney injury (AKI), urinary tract infection (UTI) and cardiovascular events were evaluated using logistic regressions. Long-term analysis was performed on first-stroke patients with a determined pathology (n = 398,663) using Royston-Parmar models. Median follow-ups were 4.21 and 4.78 years for IS and HS, respectively. All analyses were stratified by stroke sub-type. Results: Mean age (SD) was 64.3 (13.7) years, 44.9% were female with 61% IS, 28% HS and 11% undetermined strokes. DM was associated with in-hospital death, pneumonia, sepsis, AKI and cardiovascular events (odds ratios ranging from 1.13–1.78, p < 0.01) in both stroke types. In IS, DM was associated with long-term mortality and recurrence throughout the follow-up: HRmax (99% CI) at t = 4108 days: 1.54 (1.27, 1.86) and HR (99% CI) = 1.27(1.23,1.32), respectively. In HS, HRmax (t = 4108 days) for long-term mortality was 2.10 (1.87, 2.37), significant after day 14 post-discharge. HRmax (t = 455) for long-term recurrence of HS was 1.29 (1.09, 1.53), significant after day 116 post-discharge. Conclusions: Regardless of stroke type, DM was associated with in-hospital death and complications, long-term mortality and stroke recurrence.

Abstract
Aim: Renal replacement therapy was primary treatment for end stage kidney (ESRD) patients. Numbers of studies comparing peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) yielded inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to assess the mortality risk between diabetic PD patients and those in HD. Methods: We included cohort studies comparing the risk of death among diabetic ESRD patients who receiving peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis by searching Medline and Embase. Overall estimates were calculated using the random-effects model. Results: Seventeen studies were included in the meta-analyses. Mortality comparison between PD and HD in the diabetic ESRD patients showed PD significantly increased mortality rate (hazard ratio (HR) 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.10–1.30; I2 = 89.1%). The overall HR using an intention-to-treat analysis was 1.23 with 95% CI (1.13 to 1.34). Meta-regression demonstrated PD patients from Asian country were associated with increase in mortality risk (coefficient = 0.270, SE = 0.112, p = .033). Limitation: The high heterogeneity in our meta-analyses undermined the robustness of the findings. Conclusion: ESRD patients with diabetes may benefit more from HD than PD.

Abstract
AIM To estimate the healthcare costs of diabetic foot disease in England. METHODS Patient-level data sets at a national and local level, and evidence from clinical studies, were used to estimate the annual cost of health care for foot ulceration and amputation in people with diabetes in England in 2014-2015. RESULTS The cost of health care for ulceration and amputation in diabetes in 2014-2015 is estimated at between £837 million and £962 million; 0.8% to 0.9% of the National Health Service (NHS) budget for England. More than 90% of expenditure was related to ulceration, and 60% was for care in community, outpatient and primary settings. For inpatients, multiple regression analysis suggested that ulceration was associated with a length of stay 8.04 days longer (95% confidence interval 7.65 to 8.42) than that for diabetes admissions without ulceration. CONCLUSIONS Diabetic foot care accounts for a substantial proportion of healthcare expenditure in England, more than the combined cost of breast, prostate and lung cancers. Much of this expenditure arises through prolonged and severe ulceration. If the NHS were to reduce the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers in England by one-third, the gross annual saving would be more than £250 million. Diabetic foot ulceration is a large and growing problem globally, and it is likely that there is potential to improve outcomes and reduce expenditure in many countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 20-70% participation of diabetes patients in lifestyle interventions (LSI) worldwide seems to be rather sub-optimal, in spite of all intents of such interventions to delay further progress of the disease. Positive effects through LSI are expected in particular for patients who suffer less from diabetes-related limitations or other chronic diseases. Seeing that diabetes prevalence and with it mortality are increasing, LSI have become an inherent part of diabetes treatment standards. Various qualitative studies have been carried out to identify participation barriers for LSI. However, these have not resulted in more detailed knowledge about the relative importance of factors with an inhibiting impact on participation. Since it cannot be assumed that all of the influencing factors have equivalent values, it is necessary to investigate their individual importance with regard to a positive or negative decision about participating. There are no systematic reviews on patient preferences for LSI programs in diabetes prevention. As a result, the main objectives of this systematic review are to (i) identify existing patient preference elicitation studies related to LSI for diabetic patients, (ii) summarize the methods applied and findings, and (iii) appraise the reporting and methodological quality of such studies. METHODS We will perform systematic literature searches to identify suitable studies from 14 electronic databases. Retrieved study records will be included based on predefined eligibility criteria as defined in this protocol. We will run abstract and full-text screenings and then extract data from all selected studies by filling in a predefined data extraction spreadsheet. We will undertake a descriptive, narrative synthesis of findings to address the study objectives, since no pooling for quantified preferences is for methodological reasons implementable. We will pay special attention to aspects of methodological quality of preference elicitation by applying established evaluation criteria of the ISPOR and some own developed criteria for different elicitation techniques. All critical stages within the screening, data extraction, and synthesis processes will be conducted by two pairs of authors. This protocol adheres to PRISMA and PRISMA-P standards. DISCUSSION The proposed systematic review will provide an overview of the methods used and current practice in the elicitation and quantification of patients' preferences for diabetes prevention lifestyle interventions. Furthermore, the methodological quality of the identified studies will be appraised as well. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42018086988.

Abstract
Aims There is a paucity of data on the influence of diabetes on long-term outcomes after ischaemic stroke (IS). We assessed whether outcomes after IS differ between patients with and without diabetes. Methods and results Patients aged ≥65 years (n = 409 060) in Get With The Guidelines-Stroke (nationwide registry of stroke patients from 1690 sites in the USA) were followed for 3 years post-discharge. The outcomes of interest were mortality, cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular hospitalizations, heart failure (HF), and recurrence of IS/transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Patients with diabetes (29.6%) were younger and had more comorbidities. At 3 years post-discharge after IS, diabetes was associated with higher risks of adverse outcomes: all-cause mortality [cumulative incidence 46.0% vs. 44.2%, absolute difference (AD) 1.8%; adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.24, 95% confidence interval 1.23-1.25], all-cause readmission (71.3% vs. 63.7%, AD 7.6%; aHR 1.22, 1.21-1.23), composite of mortality and all-cause readmission (84.1% vs. 79.3%, AD 4.8%; aHR 1.21, 1.20-1.22), composite of mortality and cardiovascular readmission (69.5% vs. 64.3%, AD 5.2%; aHR 1.19, 1.18-1.20), IS/TIA readmission (15.9% vs. 13.3%, AD 2.6%; aHR 1.18, 1.16-1.20), HF readmission (10.3% vs. 6.4%, AD 3.9%; aHR 1.60, 1.56-1.64), non-cardiovascular readmission (58.3% vs. 50.3%, AD 8.0%; aHR 1.28, 1.26-1.29), and non-IS/TIA readmission (67.6% vs. 59.7%, AD 7.9%; aHR 1.23, 1.22-1.25). Accounting for the initial severity of stroke using the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale as well as using propensity score matching method as a sensitivity analysis, did not modify the results. Conclusion Among older IS patients diabetes was associated with increased risks of death, cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular hospitalizations, HF, and IS/TIA recurrence.

Determining the joint effect of obesity and diabetes on functional disability at 3-months and on all-cause mortality at 1-year following an ischemic stroke. BMC Endocr Disord 2018; 18:40. [PMID: 29914457 PMCID: PMC6006988 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-018-0255-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2018] [Accepted: 05/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, are independently associated with post-ischemic stroke outcomes (e.g., functional disability and all-cause mortality). Although obesity and diabetes are also associated with post-ischemic stroke outcomes, the joint effect of obesity and diabetes on these post-ischemic stroke outcomes has not been explored previously. The purpose of the current study was to explore whether the effect of obesity on post-ischemic stroke outcomes differed by diabetes status in a cohort of acute ischemic stroke subjects with at least a moderate stroke severity. METHODS Data from the Interventional Management of Stroke (IMS) III clinical trial was analyzed for this post-hoc analysis. A total of 656 subjects were enrolled in IMS III and were followed for one year. The joint effects of obesity and diabetes on functional disability at 3-months and all-cause mortality at 1-year were examined. RESULTS Of 645 subjects with complete obesity and diabetes information, few were obese (25.74%) or had diabetes (22.64%). Obese subjects with diabetes and non-obese subjects without diabetes had similar odds of functional disability at 3-months following an ischemic stroke (adjusted common odds ratio, 1.038, 95% CI: 0.631, 1.706). For all-cause mortality at 1-year following an ischemic stroke, obese subjects with diabetes had a similar hazard compared with non-obese subjects without diabetes (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.005, 95% CI: 0.559, 1.808). There was insufficient evidence to declare a joint effect between obesity and diabetes on either the multiplicative scale or the additive scale for both outcomes. CONCLUSIONS In this post-hoc analysis of data from the IMS III clinical trial of acute ischemic stroke patients with at least a moderate stroke severity, there was not sufficient evidence to determine that the effect of obesity differed by diabetes status on post-ischemic stroke outcomes. Additionally, there was not sufficient evidence to determine that either factor was independently associated with all-cause mortality. Future studies could differentiate between metabolically healthy and metabolically unhealthy patients within BMI categories to determine if the effect of obesity on post-stroke outcomes differs by diabetes status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to provide reliable regression-based estimates of costs associated with different type 2 diabetes complications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used nationwide statutory health insurance (SHI) data from 316,220 patients with type 2 diabetes. Costs for inpatient and outpatient care, pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation, and nonmedical aids and appliances were assessed in the years 2013-2015. Quarterly observations are available for each year. We estimated costs (in 2015 euro) for complications using a generalized estimating equations model with a normal distribution adjusted for age, sex, occurrence of different complications, and history of complications at baseline, 2012. Two- and threefold interactions were included in an extended model. RESULTS The base case model estimated total costs in the quarter of event for the example of a 60- to 69-year-old man as follows: diabetic foot €1,293, amputation €14,284, retinopathy €671, blindness €2,933, nephropathy €3,353, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) €22,691, nonfatal stroke €9,769, fatal stroke €11,176, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI)/cardiac arrest (CA) €8,035, fatal MI/CA €8,700, nonfatal ischemic heart disease (IHD) €6,548, fatal IHD €20,942, chronic heart failure €3,912, and angina pectoris €2,695. In the subsequent quarters, costs ranged from €681 for retinopathy to €6,130 for ESRD. CONCLUSIONS Type 2 diabetes complications have a significant impact on total health care costs in the SHI system, not only in the quarter of event but also in subsequent years. Men and women from different age-groups differ in their costs for complications. Our comprehensive estimates may support the parametrization of diabetes models and help clinicians and policy makers to quantify the economic burden of diabetes complications in the context of new prevention and treatment programs.

Abstract
AIMS Patients with diabetes are probably often unaware of their comorbidities. We estimated agreement between self-reported comorbidities and administrative data. METHODS In a random sample of 464 diabetes patients, data from a questionnaire asking about the presence of 14 comorbidities closely related to diabetes were individually linked with statutory health insurance data. RESULTS Specificities were >97%, except cardiac insufficiency (94.5%), eye diseases (93.8%), peripheral arterial disease (92.6%), hypertension (90.9%), and peripheral neuropathy (85.8%). Sensitivities were <60%, except amputation (100%), hypertension (83.1%), and myocardial infarction (67.2%). A few positive predictive values were >90% (hypertension, myocardial infarction, and eye disease), and six were below 70%. Six negative predictive values were >90%, and two <70% (hypertension and eye disease). Total agreement was between 42.7% (eye disease) and 100% (dialysis and amputation). Overall, substantial agreement was observed for three morbidities (kappa 0.61-0.80: hypertension, myocardial infarction, and amputation). Moderate agreement (kappa 0.41-0.60) was estimated for angina pectoris, heart failure, stroke, peripheral neuropathy, and kidney disease. Factors associated with agreement were the number of comorbidities, diabetes duration, age, sex, and education. CONCLUSIONS Myocardial infarction and amputation were well reported by patients as comorbidities; eye diseases and foot ulceration rather poorly, particularly in older, male, or less educated patients. Patient information needs improving.

Abstract
Background The relationship between ischemic stroke (IS), diabetes mellitus (DM), and sex is intriguing. The aim of this study was to assess the effect modification of sex in the association between DM and short- and long-term disability and mortality in first-ever IS patients. Methods In a retrospective, observational, hospital-based study of a prospective series including first-ever IS patients from January 2006 until July 2011, differences in 3-month and 5-year mortality, and disability between diabetic and non-diabetic patients [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) from 3 to 5] were analyzed by sex. Results In total, 933 patients (36.3% with DM, 50.5% women) were included. Overall 3-month and 5-year mortality were 150 (16.1%) and 407 (44.1%), respectively. Adjusted for age, previous mRS, and stroke severity, patients with DM had significantly higher 3-month disability [hazard ratio (HR): 1.49 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.39–1.70), p < 0.0001], 5-year disability [HR: 1.41 (95% CI: 1.07–1.86), p = 0.015], and 5-year mortality [HR: 1.48 (95% CI: 1.20–1.81), p < 0.0001], compared with the non-DM group. Compared with non-DM women, women with diabetes had worse 3-month disability [HR: 1.81 (95% CI: 1.33–2.46), p < 0.0001] and 5-year mortality [HR: 1.72 (95% CI: 1.30–2.20), p < 0.0001], and a trend for 5-year disability [HR: 1.40 (95% CI: 0.99–2.09), p = 0.057]. In men, DM had an effect on 3-month disability [HR: 1.45 (95% CI: 1.07–1.96), p = 0.018], a trend for 5-year disability [HR: 1.43 (95% CI: 0.94–2.19), p = 0.096], but no clear effect on 5-year mortality [HR: 1.22 (95% CI: 0.91–1.65), p = 0.186]. Conclusion Sex has a modifier effect on mortality in first-ever IS diabetic patients. Long-term mortality is increased in diabetic women compared with non-diabetic women, a difference not observed in men.

Abstract
AIMS To analyse the annual frequency of HbA1c testing, as well as the factors associated with higher or lower testing frequency, in people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus in general practices and specialist diabetes practices in Germany. METHODS A total of 43 509 people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes between January 2016 and December 2016 in 557 medical practices (51% of all practices) were included in this study. The primary outcome was the annual recorded frequency of HbA1c testing in 2016. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables associated with the odds of HbA1c concentration being tested at least twice in 2016, using predefined demographic and clinical variables. RESULTS The mean (sd) number of reported HbA1c tests was 2.7 (1.6) in 2016. Overall, 74% of individuals had at least two annual HbA1c measurements. The likelihood of receiving ≥2 HbA1c tests was inversely associated with stroke (odds ratio 0.81, 95% CI 0.74-0.89), shorter diabetes duration (≤1 year: odds ratio 0.77, 95% CI 0.70-0.84) and higher mean HbA1c concentration (≥8.5%: odds ratio 0.85, 95% CI 0.76-0.94) and was positively associated with specialist diabetes care (odds ratio 1.24, 95% CI 1.14-1.36), hypertension (odds ratio 1.10, 95% CI 1.04-1.17), hyperlipidaemia (odds ratio 1.48, 95% CI 1.41 to 1.55), renal complications (odds ratio 1.41, 95% CI 1.32 to 1.50), neuropathy (odds ratio 1.27, CI 1.20 to 1.35) and retinopathy (odds ratio 1.38, 95% CI 1.25 to 1.52). CONCLUSIONS Only three out of four individuals with Type 2 diabetes underwent at least two HbA1c tests in Germany in 2016, which means that 25% of individuals underwent fewer tests than required by German guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with high-income countries, sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries experience a comparatively higher early mortality from stroke. However, data on long-term mortality from stroke in SSA are lacking. OBJECTIVE Our aim is to assess long-term outcomes of stroke in an SSA setting. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of longitudinal data involving 607 consecutive stroke survivor encountered at an outpatient clinic in Kumasi, Ghana, between January 2012 and June 2014. Data were closed for analysis in June 2016. Data on demography, presence of vascular risk factors, stroke type, and functional status were evaluated. We followed up subjects who were no longer attending clinic by phone to assess their vital status. Primary outcome was death after initiation of clinic care, and its predictors were determined using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS Mean ± standard deviation (SD) age of cohort was 59.9 ± 13.9 years and 50.3% were female. Of the 607 stroke survivors, 377 (62.1%) were still alive, 59 (9.7%) were confirmed to have died, whereas 171 (28.2%) were lost to follow-up at the clinic. Mean ± SD observation time for the cohort was 32 ± 30 months. Upon adjustment for confounders, the independent predictors of mortality were age (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] of 1.41 [95% confidence interval 1.15-1.73] for a 10-year increase in age) and diabetes mellitus (aHR of 2.24 [1.32-3.80]). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes mellitus, a modifiable risk factor for stroke, is associated with an increased risk of mortality among West African stroke survivors over the long term.

Abstract
Over the last several decades, the global incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus has increased significantly. The raised incidence rate is projected to continue as greater numbers of persons adopt a Western lifestyle and diet. Patients with diabetes mellitus are at heightened risk of both adverse microvascular and cardiovascular events. Moreover, once cardiovascular disease develops, diabetes mellitus exacerbates progression and worsens outcomes. The medical management of patients with diabetes mellitus mandates comprehensive risk factor modification and antiplatelet therapy. Recent clinical trials of new medical therapies continue to inform the care of patients with diabetes mellitus to reduce both cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of stroke with a poor prognosis. Moreover, diabetic patients are at increased risk of depression and therefore likely to use selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). We examined whether preadmission SSRI use was associated with increased mortality in diabetic patients hospitalized due to stroke. METHODS Population-based medical databases were used to identify all first-time stroke-related hospitalizations and subsequent mortality in diabetic patients in Denmark between 2004 and 2012 (n = 12 620). Based on redeemed prescriptions, SSRI use was categorized as current (new or long term), former or nonuse, and absolute 30-day mortality and mortality rate ratios (MRRs) were computed using Cox regression controlling for confounding factors. RESULTS Amongst SSRI nonusers, 30-day stroke mortality was 15.8% (10.4% for ischaemic stroke, 41.8% for intracerebral haemorrhage and 27.3% for subarachnoid haemorrhage). Amongst current SSRI users, 30-day stroke mortality was 23.3% (17.1% for ischaemic stroke, 50.7% for intracerebral haemorrhage and 28.6% for subarachnoid haemorrhage). Current SSRI use was associated with increased 30-day stroke mortality compared with nonuse [adjusted MRR 1.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-1.5], with the highest risk observed amongst new users (MRR 1.5, 95% CI 1.2-1.8). Overall stroke mortality was driven by increased mortality due to ischaemic stroke, with adjusted MRRs of 1.3 (95% CI 1.1-1.7) for current users and 1.7 (95% CI 1.2-2.4) for new users. Propensity score-matched results were similar and robust across subgroups. CONCLUSION In patients with diabetes, preadmission SSRI use was associated with increased mortality following ischaemic stroke, compared with nonuse.

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death in all Examination of Cardiovascular Outcomes with Alogliptin versus Standard of Care (EXAMINE) study participants and in those who experienced an on-study, major nonfatal CV event. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study randomly assigned 5,380 patients with type 2 diabetes to alogliptin or placebo within 15 to 90 days of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Deaths and nonfatal CV events (myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, hospitalized heart failure [HHF], and hospitalization for unstable angina [UA]) were adjudicated. Patients were monitored until censoring or death, regardless of a prior postrandomized nonfatal CV event. Time-updated multivariable Cox models were used to estimate the risk of death in the absence of or after each nonfatal event. RESULTS Rates of CV death were 4.1% for alogliptin and 4.9% for placebo (hazard ratio [HR] 0.85; 95% CI 0.66, 1.10). A total of 736 patients (13.7%) experienced a first nonfatal CV event (5.9% MI, 1.1% stroke, 3.0% HHF, and 3.8% UA). Compared with patients not experiencing a nonfatal event, the adjusted HR (95% CI) for death was 3.12 after MI (2.13, 4.58; P < 0.0001) 4.96 after HHF (3.29, 7.47; P < 0.0001), 3.08 after stroke (1.29, 7.37; P = 0.011), and 1.66 after UA (0.81, 3.37; P = 0.164). Mortality rates after a nonfatal event were comparable for alogliptin and placebo. CONCLUSIONS In patients with type 2 diabetes and a recent ACS, the risk of CV death was higher after a postrandomization, nonfatal CV event, particularly heart failure, compared with those who did not experience a CV event. The risk of CV death was similar between alogliptin and placebo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE As populations age, an increasing number of older women are living with stroke. This study looks at long-term outcomes for women with stroke, comparing mortality rates for women with poor physical function (PF) and those with higher levels of function. The purpose is to understand not only how long women might live after a stroke, but also how long they live with physical disability. METHODS The study uses 15 years of data on women from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health 1921 to 1926 cohort. The risk of stroke and the risk of stroke and poor PF were estimated using Cox proportional hazard model. Among women who reported a stroke during the study period, mortality risk was compared according to their physical functioning level after that stroke. RESULTS Almost half of the women who had a stroke and poor PF survived past 10 years. The 10-year mortality rate was 37% for women with stroke and adequate PF and 51% for women with stroke and poor PF at the time of the stroke (hazard rate ratio, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.18-1.95; P=0.0015 adjusting for demographic and health covariates). CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence of the long-term outcomes of stroke among older women, with women living for many years with poor PF. This outcome has important implications for the women's quality of life during their later years and in understanding the burden of disability associated with stroke.

PLoS One 2016; 11:e0147329. [PMID: 26812415 PMCID: PMC4727808 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0147329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 120] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2015] [Accepted: 01/01/2016] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) in diabetes is a life threatening complication resulting in a poor prognosis for patients as well as high medical costs. The aims of this systematic review were (1) to evaluate the incidence of ESRD due to all causes and due to diabetic nephropathy in the diabetic population and differences between incidences of ESRD with respect to sex, ethnicity, age and regions, (2) to compare incidence rates in the diabetic and non-diabetic population, and (3) to investigate time trends. The systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA group guidelines by performing systematic literature searches in the biomedical databases until January 3rd 2015; thirty-two studies were included. Among patients with incident type 1 diabetes the 30-year cumulative incidence ranged from 3.3% to 7.8%. Among patients with prevalent diabetes, incidence rates of ESRD due to all causes ranged from 132.0 to 167.0 per 100,000 person-years, whereas incidence rates of ESRD due to diabetic nephropathy varied from 38.4 to 804.0 per 100,000 person-years. The incidence of ESRD in the diabetic population was higher compared to the non-diabetic population, and relative risks varied from 6.2 in the white population to 62.0 among Native Americans. The results regarding time trends were inconsistent. The review conducted demonstrates the considerable variation of incidences of ESRD among the diabetic population. Consistent findings included an excess risk when comparing the diabetic to the non-diabetic population and ethnic differences. We recommend that newly designed studies should use standardized methods for the determination of ESRD and population at risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) is the most rapidly increasing risk factor for ischemic stroke. We aimed to compare trends in outcomes for ischemic stroke in people with or without diabetes in Spain between 2003 and 2012. METHODS We selected all patients hospitalized for ischemic stroke using national hospital discharge data. We evaluated annual incident rates stratified by T2DM status. We analyzed trends in the use of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, patient comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes. We calculated in-hospital mortality (IHM), length of hospital stay (LOHS) and readmission rate in one month after discharge. Time trend on the incidence of hospitalization was estimated fitting Poisson regression models by sex and diabetes variables. In-hospital mortality was analyzed using logistic regression models separate for men and women. LOHS were compared with ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis when necessary. RESULTS We identified a total of 423,475 discharges of patients (221,418 men and 202,057 women) admitted with ischemic stroke as primary diagnosis. Patients with T2DM accounted for 30.9% of total. The estimated incidence rates of discharges increased significantly in all groups. The incidence of hospitalization due to stroke (with ICD9 codes for stroke as main diagnosis at discharge) was higher among those with than those without diabetes in all the years studied. T2DM was positively associated with ischemic stroke with an adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 2.27 (95% CI 2.24-2.29) for men and 2.15 (95%CI 2.13-2.17) for women. Over the 10 year period LOHS decreased significantly in men and women with and without diabetes. Readmission rate remained stable in diabetic and non diabetic men (around 5%) while slightly increased in women with and without diabetes. We observed a significant increase in the use of fibrinolysis from 2002-2013. IHM was positively associated with older age in all groups, with Charlson Comorbidity Index > 3 and atrial fibrillation as risk factors. The IHM did not change significantly over time among T2DM men and women ranging from 9.25% to 10.56% and from 13.21% to 14.86%, respectively; neither did among non-diabetic women. However, in men without T2DM IHM decreased significantly over time. Diabetes was associated to higher IHM only in women (OR 1.07; 95% CI, 1.05-1.11). CONCLUSIONS Our national data show that incidence rate of ischemic stroke hospitalization increased significantly during the period of study (2003-2012). People with T2DM have more than double the risk of ischemic stroke after adjusting for other risk factors. Women with T2DM had poorer outcomes- IHM and readmission rates- than diabetic men. Diabetes was an independent factor for IHM only in women.

Abstract
Several limitations existed in previous studies which suggested that diabetic patients have increased risk of stroke. We conducted this study to better understand the stroke risk and poststroke outcomes in patients with diabetes.From the claims data of Taiwan's National Health Insurance, we identified 24,027 adults with new-diagnosed diabetes and 96,108 adults without diabetes between 2000 and 2003 in a retrospective cohort study. Stroke events (included hemorrhage, ischemia, and other type of stroke) during the follow-up period of 2000 to 2008 were ascertained and adjusted risk of stroke associated with diabetes was calculated. A nested cohort study of 221,254 hospitalized stroke patients (included hemorrhage, ischemia, and other type of stroke) between 2000 and 2009 was conducted. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for adverse events after stroke hospitalization in patients with and without diabetes.The incidences of stroke in cohorts with and without diabetes were 10.1 and 4.5 per 1000 person-years, respectively. During the follow-up period, diabetic patients had an increased risk of stroke (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.64-1.86) than those without diabetes. Associations between diabetes and stroke risk were significant in both sexes and all age groups. Previous diabetes was associated with poststroke mortality (OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.19-1.49), pneumonia (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.20-1.42), and urinary tract infection (OR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.55-1.77). The impact of diabetes on adverse events after stroke was investigated particularly in those with diabetes-related complications.Diabetes was associated with stroke risk, and diabetic patients had more adverse events and subsequent mortality after stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of diabetes by gender on the peak-risk of first-ever-ischemic stroke and its recurrence. METHODS Administrative datasets including all hospital discharges for ischemic stroke (N = 43,332) in the diabetic (N = 207,568) and non-diabetic (N = 2,808,554) population of the Tuscany region, Italy were used to calculate Hazard ratios (HR) after Cox-regression, of first-ever and recurrent ischemic strokes, between 2005 and 2011. RESULTS Overall, diabetes increased the HR of first-ever ischemic stroke by about 50% in both genders. However, this risk significantly declined with age and was higher in women aged 55-74 yr than in men of the same age (HR; 95% CI: 1.392; 1.228-1.579 in age-class 55-64 yr and 1.203; 1.110-1.304 in age class 65-74 yr; p < 0.001). Diabetes also increased the adjusted risk of three-year-stroke recurrence (N = 5,998) in women, independently of age, whereas this was the case in men < 70 yr. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke although it declines with age though at lower rate among women than men. Moreover, diabetic women have greater risk of recurrence than in men > 70 yrs old, supporting a high-risk "time-window" in postmenopausal-elderly diabetic women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incidence of ischemic stroke and associated in-hospital mortality is decreasing in Western populations, while the prevalence of diabetes, a well-known risk factor for ischemic stroke, is progressively rising. This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of diabetes on ischemic stroke hospitalization and in-hospital mortality after ischemic stroke. METHODS Discharges with diagnosis of ischemic stroke were identified in a database containing all hospitalizations of resident population of Tuscany, Italy, over years 2004-2011. Cases with diabetes were identified through specific drug prescriptions, official certifications or previous hospital diagnosis. Rates of annual ischemic stroke incidence and related in-hospital mortality were separately calculated for gender and age class, in subjects with and without diabetes. RESULTS Sixty-five thousand one hundred sixty-five hospital discharges with ischemic stroke diagnosis were identified. Diabetes was associated with increased risk of stroke odds ratio(95% confidence interval):1.31(1.28-1.34) in men and 1.24(1.21-1.37) in women. Diabetic women, compared with men, had a higher in-hospital mortality risk after ischemic stroke (odds ratio:1.32; 1.06-1.64), whereas in non-diabetic subjects, there was no difference between genders. Incidence of ischemic stroke has declined in non-diabetic subjects, except for women aged ≤70 years; a similar reduction was observed for in-hospital mortality. Among diabetic patients, conversely, annual incidence of ischemic stroke rose by 3% in the elderly people (>70 years), and annual mortality trend remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS In the last decade, the incidence of ischemic stroke and of related in-hospital mortality declined in persons without diabetes, while increasing among diabetic patients of advanced age. Women with diabetes, compared with men, had a higher in-hospital mortality risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many people survive an initial stroke, little is known about long-term impacts of stroke on survival. METHODS Data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health were used to compare 12-year survival rates in older women with prevalent stroke, incident stroke, and no stroke. Cox regression models were fitted to assess the effect of lifestyle and demographic characteristics on the relationship between stroke and all-cause mortality. The "no stroke" group was used as the reference category in all statistical models. RESULTS At baseline, 4% of the women reported a previous stroke (prevalent stroke). At survey 2 in 1999, a further 3% reported having a stroke between 1996 and 1999 (incident stroke). Stroke was significantly associated with reduced long-term survival. Age-adjusted hazards ratios (HRs) were: 1.64 (1.43-1.89) for the "prevalent stroke" group and 2.29 (1.97-2.66) for the "incident stroke" group. Adjusting for comorbidities reduced the HRs, but the risk of death was still significantly higher in the 2 stroke groups. Adjusting for demographic and lifestyle factors did not make any further difference to the relationship between stroke and survival. However, obesity and past smoking were also risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the long-term impacts of stroke on life expectancy and the importance of comorbidities and other lifestyle factors in affecting poststroke survival.

Abstract
Diabetic cerebrovascular diseases are defined as cerebral vascular diseases induced by diabetes with sugar, fat and a series of nutrient substance metabolic disorders, resulting in intracranial large and small vessel diseases. About 20%-40% patients with type 2 diabetes suffer from cerebral blood vessel diseases. Diabetic cerebrovascular diseases are the main causes of death in patients with diabetes mellitus. The major clinical manifestations are asymptomatic cerebral atherosclerosis, stroke, cerebral small vessel disease and acute cerebral vascular disease. The pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of diabetic cerebrovascular disease are obviously different from non-diabetic cerebral vascular diseases. This paper will focus on the diabetic cerebrovascular disease, including its latest research progress. Diabetic cerebral large vascular disease and diabetic cerebral small vessel disease will be reviewed here.

AIM To describe a new conceptual framework and the research protocol of a study designed to examine the quality of life in stroke survivor-caregiver dyads. BACKGROUND Stroke has a significant impact on the patient-caregiver dyad. Few studies have been guided by a specific conceptual framework which considers the interactions among pre-existing situations prior to stroke, the new situation caused by the stroke and the moderating effects of environmental and caregiver-related variables. DESIGN Longitudinal study. METHODS A sample of stroke survivor-caregiver dyads will be enrolled at patient discharge from rehabilitation hospitals and will be surveyed every 3 months for 1-year. Hypotheses generated from the conceptual framework will test predictors, mediators and moderators of stroke survivor and caregiver quality of life from the pre-existing situation prior to the stroke, the new situation mediation poststroke and situation moderators. The study is supported by a grant from the Centre of Excellence for Nursing Scholarship, Rome, December 2013. DISCUSSION This study seeks to identify variables in the pre-existing situation prior to the stroke (e.g. living condition), the new situation mediation poststroke (e.g. type of stroke and caregiver burden) as well as situation moderators (e.g. social support) that influence stroke survivor-caregiver dyad's quality of life across the stroke trajectory. Also, the study will inform clinical practice and research by identifying variables that are potentially modifiable and therefore amenable to intervention. The proposed framework will also be helpful for future research focused on stroke survivor-caregiver dyads.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is an increasingly recognized public health problem of population as a whole and against a background of different chronic diseases. The aim of the study was to determine the status of D-vitamin, mineral, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in patients with diabetes 1 and 2 types and in the case of vitamin D3 application. The data on the impact of vitamin D3 deficiency on mineral, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as on pancreatic beta-cells functional activity in patients with diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2 are presented. Certain reasons that lead to the disruption of vitamin D3 metabolism in patients with diabetes mellitus and the results of vitamin D3 application in clinics are discussed.

Eriksson M, Asplund K, Van Rompaye B, Eliasson M. Differences in cardiovascular risk factors and socioeconomic status do not explain the increased risk of death after a first stroke in diabetic patients: results from the Swedish Stroke Register. Diabetologia 2013; 56:2181-6. [PMID: 23820634 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-013-2983-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2013] [Accepted: 06/18/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS This study compared survival rates and causes of death after stroke in diabetic and non-diabetic patients in Sweden. We hypothesised that differences in cardiovascular risk factors, acute stroke management or socioeconomic status (SES) could explain the higher risk of death after stroke in diabetic patients. METHODS The study included 155,806 first-ever stroke patients from the Swedish Stroke Register between 2001 and 2009. Individual patient information on SES was retrieved from Statistics Sweden. Survival was followed until 2010 (532,140 person-years) with a median follow-up time of 35 months. Multiple Cox regression was used to analyse survival adjusting for differences in background characteristics, in-hospital treatment, SES and year of stroke. Causes of death were analysed using cause-specific proportional hazard models. RESULTS The risk of death after stroke increased in diabetic patients (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.25, 1.31), and this risk was greater in younger patients and in women. Differences in background characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, in-hospital treatment and SES did not explain the increased risk of death after stroke (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.32, 1.37) after adjustments. Diabetic patients had an increased probability of dying from cerebrovascular disease and even higher probabilities of dying from other circulatory causes and all other causes except cancer. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Differences in cardiovascular risk factors, acute stroke management and SES do not explain the lower survival after stroke in diabetic compared with non-diabetic patients. Diabetic patients are at higher risk of dying from cardiovascular causes and all other causes of death, other than cancer.

[PMID: 23746556 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2013.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2012] [Revised: 05/02/2013] [Accepted: 05/03/2013] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To compare direct medical costs 1 year before up to 3 years after first major lower extremity amputation (LEA) between patients with and without diabetes. METHODS We used health insurance claims data and included patients with a first major LEA between 2005 and 2009. Costs for hospitalization, rehabilitation, outpatient care, outpatient drug prescriptions, non-physician services, durable medical equipment and long-term care were assessed. We estimated cost ratios (CR) for diabetes status using generalized linear models adjusted for age, sex, amputation level, care dependency as well as observation time and mortality within the corresponding period and costs before LEA. RESULTS We included 444 patients with first major LEA (58.3% had diabetes), 71.8% were male and the average age was 69.1 years. Total mean costs for 1 year before LEA were higher in patients with diabetes (24,504 vs. 18,961 Euros), which was also confirmed by the multivariate analysis (CR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.06-1.52). Costs up to 24 weeks after LEA were virtually the same in both groups (36,686 vs. 35,858 Euros), but thereafter differences increase again with higher costs for diabetics. Costs for 3 years after LEA were 115,676 vs. 92,862 Euros, respectively (CR: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.12-1.42). Hospitalizations accounted for more than 50% of total costs irrespective of diabetes status and period. CONCLUSIONS Costs up to 24 weeks after first major LEA are mainly driven by the amputation itself irrespective of diabetes. Thereafter, costs for diabetic patients were higher again, which underlines the importance of studying long-term costs.
