Risk factor control and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of cardiovascular events, interventions addressing risk factors reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in the incidence of CVD events according to risk factor control in patients with diabetes with and without cardio-renal disease.

Methods

We analyzed 113,909 patients with diabetes and 290,339 without diabetes using data released by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS).

Results

Among patients with diabetes with four or five poorly controlled risk factors, hazard ratio for CVD events was 1.19 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-1.34) in patients with cardio-renal disease and 2.31 (95% CI, 1.95-2.74) in patients
