Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Adults With Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current hypertension guidelines recommend intensive blood pressure (BP) targets (eg, <130/80 mm Hg) for patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. However, data supporting these recommendations are limited.

Methods

From Korean nationwide health screening and claims data, we identified 373 966 adults with both diabetes and chronic kidney disease who (1) underwent a baseline health examination in 2009 to 2013; (2) had ≥3 BP-measuring visits during a 5-year look-back period; and (3) did not have prior cardiovascular disease (CVD). The mean of all BPs measured throughout the look-back period was used for the analysis. The primary outcome was CVD event, defined as a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, or death from CVD.
