Incidence and prognosis of heart failure in persons with type 2 diabetes compared with individuals without diabetes - a nation-wide study from Finland in 1996-2012.

ABSTRACT: Aims: To quantify the incidence and prevalence of heart failure (HF) in persons with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and to examine the 1-year survival after the diagnosis of HF. Materials and methods: All cases of HF (n = 295,990) and T2DM in Finland were identified from national electronic health care registers for the period 1996-2012. The annual incidence and prevalence rates of HF and 1-year survival after the first diagnosis of HF were calculated for persons with T2DM and without diabetes using Poisson regression for the event rates. Results: The age-adjusted rate ratio for incident HF among men with T2DM in the age group 35-74 years declined from 3.73 (95% CI, 3.46-4.02) in 1996 to 2.17 (2.04-2.31) in 2012 and among women from 3.90 (3.61-4.22) to 2.36 (2.16-2.58).
