Glycemic Control and Prostate Cancer Mortality Risk in Veterans with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective cohort study of veterans diagnosed with diabetes mellitus evaluated the association between time-varying measures of glycemic control and the time to prostate cancer-specific mortality. Competing risk Cox regression models were developed to estimate the association of glycemic control and prostate cancer mortality for the entire sample and stratified by racial and ethnic groups. A total of 763,424 veterans with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were included. In the fully adjusted models, moderate glycemic control [hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 7%-8%] was associated with a 23% (HR, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.68-0.85) lower risk and poor glycemic control (HbA1c >8%) was associated with a 15% (HR, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.71-0.99) lower risk of prostate cancer mortali
