Time trends of cardiovascular risk management in type 1 diabetes - nationwide analyses of real-life data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals diagnosed with and treated for type 1 diabetes (T1D) have increased risk of micro- and macrovascular disease and excess mortality. Improving cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in individuals with T1D is known to reduce diabetes- related CV complications.

Aim

To examine time trends in CV risk factor levels and CV-protective treatment patterns. Additionally, examine incidence rates of diabetes-related CV complications in relation to exposure CV-protective treatment.

Methods

We analysed records from 41,630 individuals with T1D, registered anytime between 1996 and 2017 in a nationwide diabetes register. We obtained CV risk factor measurements (2010-2017), CV-protective drug profiles (1996-2017) and CV complication history (1977-2017) from additional n
