Retrospective analysis examines mortality trends in type 1 diabetes individuals, highlighting significant health risks.

Key Points

The study aims to evaluate all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a contemporary cohort of individuals with type 1 diabetes.
Retrospective analysis of participants from the CACTI study (N=652 with T1D) from 2000 to 2023.
Annual mortality surveillance via Colorado vital records and the National Death Index.
Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate overall and cause-specific mortality risks.
Among 125 deaths, 89 were from individuals with T1D, indicating a 3.37-fold higher hazard of all-cause mortality (95% CI: 2.20 - 5.14).
Significantly higher risks of mortality from cardiovascular disease (HR=6.57; 95% CI: 1.91-22.50) and trauma (HR=3.69; 95% CI: 1.19-11.50) were observed in T1D.
Mortality hazard increased with age, higher systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol levels, and smoking status.
