Key result
Over an 8-year period, the rate of hospital admissions for AMI fell to a greater extent in the diabetic population compared to the nondiabetic population (-15.1% vs. -9.1%, P<0.0001).
Why the study?
How do recent trends in cardiovascular disease outcomes compare between adults with and without diabetes?

How do recent trends in cardiovascular disease outcomes compare between adults with and without diabetes?
Absolute Event Rate: -15.1% vs -9.1%
p-value: p=<0.0001
While the rate of cardiovascular events decreased more in the diabetic population over an 8-year period, the absolute burden of CVD increased due to a rising prevalence of diabetes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Greater relative AMI declines in diabetes fail to offset rising absolute burden from prevalence; extends trends but leaves causal and practice implications open.
Booth et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in Diabetes and cardiovascular disease (n=9,861,323). Diabetes vs. Nondiabetic population was evaluated on Change in annual age-/sex-adjusted rate of subjects admitted for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (p=<0.0001). Over an 8-year period, the rate of hospital admissions for AMI fell to a greater extent in the diabetic population compared to the nondiabetic population (-15.1% vs. -9.1%, P<0.0001).
