Trends in predicted 10-year risk for cardiovascular diseases among patients with type 2 diabetes in Thailand, from 2014 to 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading causes of death globally, including Thailand. Approximately one-tenth of Thai adults have type 2 diabetes (T2D), a significantly increasing CVD. Our study aimed to determine the trends of predicted 10-year CVD risk among patients with T2D.

Methods

A series of hospital-based cross-sectional studies were conducted in 2014, 2015 and 2018. We included Thai patients with T2D aged 30-74-year-old without a history of CVD. The predicted 10-year risk for CVD was calculated based on Framingham Heart Study equations both with simple office-based nonlaboratory and laboratory-based. Age- and sex-adjusted means and proportions of predicted 10-year risk for CVD were calculated.

Results

A total of 84,602 patients with T2D were
