Implication

Long-term study finds hyperglycemia and lipoprotein abnormalities predict cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetes patients, suggesting key risk factors.

Key Points

The study aimed to identify predictors of cardiovascular mortality in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients over 15 years.
15-year prospective study involving 133 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and 144 healthy controls.
Cardiovascular risk factors were assessed at baseline and at 5 and 10 years.
Utilized univariate analyses and multiple logistic regression to evaluate predictors of mortality.
Total mortality was 44.3% in diabetic men compared to 12.9% in controls (OR 5.0, P < 0.001).
Diabetic women had a mortality rate of 44.4% versus 11.0% for controls (OR 5.2, P < 0.001).
Hyperglycemia was a consistent predictor of cardiovascular mortality, along with lipoprotein abnormalities.
