Mortality Trends and Disparities in Cerebrovascular Disease Among Diabetic Population in the United States From 1999 to 2020: A CDC WONDER Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease (CeVD), a major cause of mortality and long-term disability. Despite improvements in healthcare, disparities in CeVD-related mortality among diabetic populations in the United States persist. We conducted a retrospective analysis using the CDC WONDER database from 1999 to 2020 to assess mortality trends related to CeVD among adults aged ≥ 45 years with DM. Deaths were identified using ICD-10 codes I60-I69 (CeVD) and E10-E14 (DM). Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were calculated, and trends were analysed using Joinpoint regression, stratified by age, race/ethnicity, geography, urbanisation, and place of death. A total of 689,846 CeVD-related deaths occurred in diabetic individuals. AAMR decreased from 36.
