Prevalence of anemia and associated All-Cause mortality among adults with Diabetes: The role of chronic kidney disease
Authors' conclusion
Approximately one-quarter of the adult US population with diabetes and CKD also has anemia. The presence of anemia, with or without CKD, is associated with a two- to threefold increased risk of death by compared with adults who have neither condition, suggesting that anemia may be a strong predictor of death among adults with diabetes.
