The Association Between Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy and Mortality in Individuals With Diabetes

Maser, Raelene E., Mitchell, Braxton D., Vinik, Aaron I., Freeman, Roy·2003·Diabetes Care

Abstract

OBJECTIVE—To examine by meta-analysis the relationship between cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and risk of mortality in individuals with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We searched Medline for English-language articles published from 1966 to 2001. Fifteen studies having a baseline assessment of cardiovascular autonomic function and mortality follow-up were identified. The analyses were stratified according to whether a single abnormality or two or more measures of cardiovascular autonomic function were used to define CAN. A global measure of association (i.e., relative risk) was generated for each group by pooling estimates across the studies using the Mantel-Haenszel procedure. RESULTS—CAN was significantly associated with subsequent mortality in both groups, although the magnitude of the association was stronger for those studies for which two or more measures were used to define CAN. The pooled relative risk for studies that defined CAN with the presence of two or more abnormalities was 3.45 (95% CI 2.66–4.47; P < 0.001) compared with 1.20 (1.02–1.41; P = 0.03) for studies that used one measure. CONCLUSIONS—These results support an association between CAN and increased risk of mortality. The stronger association observed in studies defining CAN by the presence of two or more abnormalities may be due to more severe autonomic dysfunction in these subjects or a higher frequency of other comorbid complications that contributed to their higher mortality risk. Future studies should evaluate whether early identification of subjects with CAN can lead to a reduction in mortality.

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.
