Authors' conclusion
Hospitalisation rates for infection have increased more rapidly over time in people with diabetes than in the general population.
Study context
- Population
- People with diabetes in the Australian National Diabetes Services Scheme linked to hospitalisation datasets, and the Australian general population, 2010/11 to 2018/19
- Exposure
- People with T1D and T2D vs the general population
- Outcome
- Annual percentage change (APC) of rates of hospitalisation for infections
- Follow-up
- 2010/11 to 2018/19
Methodological detailslinked hospitalisation datasets, Joinpoint regression
- Linked hospitalisation datasets
- Joinpoint regression
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
APC in rate of hospitalisation for total infections
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Hospitalisation for sepsis, influenza, kidney infections, osteomyelitis, cellulitis and foot infections
- Increasing rates in all groups
Hospitalisation for urinary tract infection
- Declined in T2D; stable in other groups
Hospitalisation for respiratory tract infections
- Stable in T1D; increased in other groups
