Key result
In newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients, there was no significant difference in mean age between those with increased CIMT (56.45 years) and normal CIMT (53.10 years; P=0.75).
Why the study?
Does increased carotid intima-media thickness correlate with vascular complications in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients?
Observational (n=105)
Does increased carotid intima-media thickness correlate with vascular complications in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients?
Measurement of CIMT by B-mode ultrasonography is a noninvasive tool for detecting subclinical atherosclerosis in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.
No age difference by CIMT status in new T2DM; leaves open CIMT's association with vascular complications.
Objective: To study the frequency of increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and its relation with vascular complications in patients of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methodology: All consecutive newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics were enrolled and evaluated for the CIMT by B mode ultrasonography and presence of vascular complications.Results: 105 newly diagnosed patients of type 2 diabetes with a mean age of 56.55 ± 7.43 years were enrolled in the study. Mean age of patients with increased CIMT in the study was 56.45 ± 8.10 while mean age of patients with normal CIMT was 53.10 ± 9.66 years (P = 0.75) among them 53 were male and 52 were females.Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus can present with or without symptoms and with chronic vascular complications at the time of diagnosis, measurement of CIMT by B Mode ultrasonography is an important noninvasive, cost-effective tools for the diagnosis of subclinical/overt atherosclerosis.

Bhawani et al. (2018) conducted an observational in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=105). B mode ultrasonography for CIMT was evaluated on Frequency of increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and its relation with vascular complications. In newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients, there was no significant difference in mean age between those with increased CIMT (56.45 years) and normal CIMT (53.10 years; P=0.75).
