Risk trajectories of complications in over one thousand newly diagnosed individuals with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Although the increased risk of complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is well known, there is still little information about the long-term development of comorbidities in relation to risk factors. The purpose of the present study was to describe the risk trajectories of T2D complications over time in an observational cohort of newly diagnosed T2D patients, as well as to evaluate the effect of common risk factors on the development of comorbidities. This national cohort study investigated individuals with T2D in the Swedish National Diabetes Register regarding prevalence of comorbidities at the time of diagnosis, and the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure in the entire patient cohort and stratified by HbA1c levels and age at baseline.
