Chronic kidney disease begets heart failure and vice versa: temporal associations between heart failure events in relation to incident chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Population-based cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Cardiorenal complications are common and are associated with high mortality risk among patients with new-onset T2DM. Close surveillance of these dual complications is crucial to reduce the burden of disease.

Study context

Population
Patients aged ≥18 years with new-onset T2D, without renal disease or heart failure (HF) at baseline, Clinical Data Analysis Reporting System 2000–2015; median age 66 years, 45.7% womenmedian follow-up 7.5 years
Participants
