Association Between Baseline Diabetes Therapy-Related Quality of Life (DTR-QOL) and Subsequent Risk of All-Cause Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study (Diabetes Distress and Care Registry at Tenri [DDCRT 26]).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We aimed to examine a cohort of people with diabetes to prospectively determine the association between diabetes therapy-related quality of life (DTR-QOL) and the subsequent risk of all-cause mortality.

Methods

Longitudinal data of 3795 individuals with diabetes were obtained from a single-center diabetes registry from 2011. To assess the association between DTR-QOL at baseline and the subsequent risk of all-cause mortality, a Cox proportional hazards model was used with adjustment for baseline potential confounders (age, sex, duration of diabetes, body mass index [BMI], glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] level, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, history of diabetic retinopathy, symptomatic diabetic neuropathy, medical history, type of diabetes, and diabetes prescriptio
