Abstract

AIM: Recent US recommendations indicate a target blood pressure (BP) of 130/80mmHg for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our aim was to characterize the association between risk of cardiovascular events and differences in BP decreases in randomized trials of a T2D population. METHODS: A systematic search was made for randomized clinical trials assessing the effects of antihypertensive treatments in T2D patients on mortality, and fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, using a meta-regression technique to explore the influence of BP decreases on treatment effects. RESULTS: A total of 88,503 patients from 44 randomized trials were included. There was no significant association between BP decreases and risk of all-cause or cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular events or myocardial infarction. However, stroke risk was influenced by BP decreases: compared with no reduction, a 10-mmHg reduction in systolic BP was associated with a relative odds ratio (OR) decrease of 33% (OR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.54-0.82), and a 5-mmHg diastolic BP reduction was associated with a relative OR decrease of 38% (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.50-0.76). Restricting the analysis to double-blind studies did not change the results for diastolic BP. CONCLUSION: A reduction in BP lowers the risk of stroke, but does not appear to affect the risk of other cardiovascular events in a T2D population.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • More intensive blood-pressure control (≤130 mmHg) was associated with a greater reduction in stroke but did not reduce other events.

    “whereas more intensive BP control (≤130 mmHg) was associated with a greater reduction in stroke but did not reduce other events.194,195”
  • In a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials involving patients with diabetes or prediabetes, systolic blood pressure reduction to ≤135 mmHg compared with less intensive control reduced the relative risk of all-cause mortality by 10% (OR 0.90; 95% CI, 0.83-0.98).

    “In a meta-analysis of RCTs involving patients with diabetes or prediabetes, an SBP reduction to ≤135 mmHg compared with a less intensive control reduced the RR of all-cause mortality by 10% (odds ratio [OR] 0.90; 95% CI, 0.83-0.98)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
