Heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and death risk in type 2 diabetes: Findings from a large international study
Updated
Abstract
Of 1,177,896 patients with type 2 diabetes, 772,336 (66%) were free from cardiovascular or renal disease (CVRD) at the start of the study.
- Over a mean follow-up of 4.5 years, 137,081 patients (18%) developed their first manifestation of CVRD.
- The most common initial manifestations were chronic kidney disease (36%), heart failure (24%), stroke (16%), myocardial infarction (14%), and peripheral artery disease (10%).
- Heart failure and chronic kidney disease were linked to significantly higher risks of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
- The hazard ratios for heart failure and chronic kidney disease were 2.02 and 2.05, respectively, indicating more than double the risk compared to those free of CVRD.
- The combination of heart failure and chronic kidney disease presented the highest mortality risks, with hazard ratios of 3.91 and 3.14 for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, respectively.
