Abstract

Background—: Despite the known association of diabetes mellitus with cardiovascular events, there are few contemporary data on the long-term outcomes from international cohorts of patients with diabetes mellitus. We sought to describe cardiovascular outcomes at 4 years and to identify predictors of these events in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods and Results—: The Reduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health (REACH) registry is an international registry of patients at high risk of atherothrombosis or established atherothrombosis. Four-year event rates in patients with diabetes mellitus were determined with the corrected group prognosis method. Of the 45 227 patients in the REACH registry who had follow-up at 4 years, 43.6% (n=19 699) had diabetes mellitus at baseline. The overall risk and hazard ratio (HR) of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke were greater in patients with diabetes compared with patients without diabetes (16.5% versus 13.1%; adjusted HR, 1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19–1.35). There was also an increase in both cardiovascular death (8.9% versus 6.0%; adjusted HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.26–1.52) and overall death (14.3% versus 9.9%; adjusted HR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.30–1.51). Diabetes mellitus was associated with a 33% greater risk of hospitalization for heart failure (9.4% versus 5.9%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.18–1.50). In patients with diabetes mellitus, heart failure at baseline was independently associated with cardiovascular death (adjusted HR, 2.45; 95% CI, 2.17–2.77; P <0.001) and hospitalization for heart failure (adjusted odds ratio, 4.72; 95% CI, 4.22–5.29; P <0.001). Conclusions—: Diabetes mellitus substantially increases the risk of death, ischemic events, and heart failure. Patients with both diabetes mellitus and heart failure are at particularly elevated risk of cardiovascular death, highlighting the need for additional therapies in this high-risk population.

  • The observed annualized primary endpoint event rate for placebo patients in REDUCE-IT is consistent with historical cardiovascular outcome studies with comparable patient populations and expanded or hard MACE.

    “The observed annualized primary endpoint event rate for placebo patients in REDUCE-IT was 5.74%, which is consistent with historical cardiovascular outcome studies, including those published since the design of REDUCE-IT, with comparable patient populations and expanded or hard major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (4,8,9,30-44).”

  • Patients with type 2 diabetes are at high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and heart failure compared with nondiabetic individuals.

    “Patients with T2DM are at high risk for ASCVD and HF compared with nondiabetic individuals (50,53).”
  • Rates of incident heart failure hospitalization adjusted for age and sex were twofold higher in people with diabetes than in those without diabetes.

    “Recent studies have found that rates of incident heart failure hospitalization (adjusted for age and sex) were twofold higher in people with diabetes compared with those without (5,6).”

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.
