Glycemic control and bacterial infectious risk in type 2 diabetes: A retrospective cohort from a primary care database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The prevalence of diabetes was estimated at 5.3% of the French population in 2020. People with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of infection. Currently, there is no consensus on the impact of glycemic control on infectious risk. The objective was to evaluate whether glycemic control and diabetes severity were associated with infectious risk in type 2 diabetes.

Materials and methods

We designed a multicenter retrospective cohort study using data from a French primary care database. Data were collected from January 2012 to January 2022. Glycemic control was estimated by the threshold of glycated hemoglobin and diabetes severity by the number, and the type, of antidiabetic treatments. Infectious risk was evaluated by the mean of antibiotic prescriptions per year
