Microvascular diseases predict mortality and cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes: A retrospective cohort study
Main finding · Primary outcome: stroke, MI and deathResult — go to the resultHazard ratio 1.73 95% CI 1.16–2.59Authors' conclusion
Patients with type 2 diabetes who exhibit more MiVDs will have higher mortality and cardiovascular risk, and require tailored preventive strategies.
