Abstract Context Type 2 diabetes shows high mortality rate, partly mediated by atherosclerotic plaque instability. Discovering novel biomarkers may help identify high-risk patients to expose to more aggressive and specific managements. We recently described a serum REsistin and multiMulti-cytokine inflammAatory Pathway (REMAP), including resistin, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α) which associates with cardiovascular disease. Objective We investigated whether REMAP associates with and improves the prediction of mortality in type 2 diabetes. Design A REMAP score was investigated in three cohorts comprising 1,528 patients with T2D (409 incident deaths) and in 59 patients who underwent carotid endoarterectomy (CEA; 24 deaths). Plaques were classified as unstable/stable according to the modified American Heart Association atherosclerosis classification. Results REMAP was associated to all-cause mortality in each cohort and in all 1,528 individuals (fully-adjusted HR for one SD increase =1.34, p<0.001). In CEA patients, REMAP was associated with mortality (HR =1.64, p = 0.04) and a modest change was observed when plaque stability was taken into account [HR =1.58; P = 0.07]. REMAP improved discrimination and reclassification measures of both ENFORCE and RECODe, well-established prediction models of mortality in type 2 diabetes (P<0.05-<0.001). Conclusions REMAP is independently associated with and improves predict all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes; it can therefore be used to identify high-risk individuals to be targeted with more aggressive managements. Whether REMAP can also identify those patients who are more responsive to IL-6 and IL-1β monoclonal antibodies which reduce cardiovascular burden and total mortality is an intriguing possibility to be tested.

Aims. This study aims to determine the all-cause mortality and the associated risk factors for all-cause mortality among the prevalent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients within five years’ period and to develop a screening tool to determine high-risk patients. Methods. This is a cohort study of T2DM patients in the national diabetes registry, Malaysia. Patients’ particulars were derived from the database between 1st January 2009 and 31st December 2009. Their records were matched with the national death record at the end of year 2013 to determine the status after five years. The factors associated with mortality were investigated, and a prognostic model was developed based on logistic regression model. Results. There were 69,555 records analyzed. The mortality rate was 1.4 persons per 100 person-years. The major cause of death were diseases of the circulatory system (28.4%), infectious and parasitic diseases (19.7%), and respiratory system (16.0%). The risk factors of mortality within five years were age group (p<0.001), body mass index category (p<0.001), duration of diabetes (p<0.001), retinopathy (p=0.001), ischaemic heart disease (p<0.001), cerebrovascular (p=0.007), nephropathy (p=0.001), and foot problem (p=0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of the proposed model was fairly strong with 70.2% and 61.3%, respectively. Conclusions. The elderly and underweight T2DM patients with complications have higher risk for mortality within five years. The model has moderate accuracy; the prognostic model can be used as a screening tool to classify T2DM patients who are at higher risk for mortality within five years.

<b>Objective</b>: Most, but not all studies suggested that women with type 2 diabetes have higher relative risk (RR) for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than men. More uncertainty exists on whether the RR for CVD is higher in prediabetic women compared to men. <p><b>Research Design and Methods</b>: In a cross-sectional study, in 3540 normal glucose tolerant (NGT), prediabetic, and diabetic adults, we compared the RR for prevalent non-fatal CVD between men and women. In a longitudinal study including 1658 NGT, prediabetic, and diabetic adults, we compared the RR for incident major adverse outcomes, including all-cause death, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease events after 5.6 years follow-up. </p> <p><b>Results:</b> Women with prediabetes and diabetes exhibited greater relative differences in BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, hsCRP, and white blood cell count than men with prediabetes and diabetes when compared with their NGT counterparts. We found a higher RR for prevalent CVD in diabetic women (RR 9.29; 95% CI 4.73-18.25; <i>P</i><0.0001) than in men (RR 4.56; 95% CI 3.07-6.77; <i>P</i><0.0001), but no difference in RR for CVD was observed comparing prediabetic women and men. In the longitudinal study, we found that diabetic, but not prediabetic women have higher RR (RR 5.25; 95% CI 3.22-8.56; <i>P</i><0.0001) of incident major adverse outcomes than their male counterparts (RR 2.72; 95% CI 1.81-4.08; <i>P</i><0.0001).</p> <p><b>Conclusions:</b> This study suggests that diabetic, but not prediabetic, women have higher RR for prevalent and incident major adverse outcomes than men. </p>
