Key result
Diabetes mellitus was associated with a significantly higher risk of mortality compared to nondiabetic patients (13% vs 10%; OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.01-1.59, p<0.039) after endovascular AAA repair.

Diabetes mellitus is associated with higher early mortality and device-related complications following endovascular AAA repair, but does not significantly impact long-term survival.
Leurs et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) (n=6,017). Diabetes mellitus vs. Nondiabetic patients was evaluated on Mortality (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.59, p=< 0.039). Diabetes mellitus was associated with a significantly higher risk of mortality compared to nondiabetic patients (13% vs 10%; OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.01-1.59, p<0.039) after endovascular AAA repair.
