Type 2 & other diabetes

A high-volume study on the impact of diabetes mellitus on clinical outcomes after surgical and percutaneous cardiac interventions

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Patients with DM remain to have unfavourable outcomes compared to nondiabetic patients which calls for a critical reappraisal of existing care pathways aimed at diabetic patients within the cardiovascular field.

OR = 1.35; p <.001
120-day mortality after AVR, OR (with vs without diabetes)
OR = 1.5; p <.03
120-day mortality after CABG + AVR, OR (with vs without diabetes)
OR = 1.42; p =.02
1-year mortality after CABG, OR (with vs without diabetes)
OR = 1.43; p <.001
