Abstract Purpose To analyze the clinical features and related risk factors in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and subclinical atherosclerosis, the micro- and macro-vascular diseases in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A retrospective study of 435 cases of inpatients with newly diagnosed T2DM from 2013–2017, and compare the 2 types of T2DM related vascular complications. Results The macro- and microvascular complications are not rare at this stage. Subclinical atherosclerosis was found in 251 subjects (57.7%), which was higher than that of DR (13.1%). In addition, some cases of subclinical atherosclerosis co-existed with DR, suggesting that DR was related with subclinical atherosclerosis (r=0.098, P=0.041). Older age showed a significant association with both subclinical atherosclerosis and DR. Single factor analysis indicated that dyslipidemia was the common risk factor in DR and subclinical atherosclerosis. Conclusions It should be paid attention to the screening of both DR and subclinical atherosclerosis in each age group of newly diagnosed T2DM. Except for the control of blood glucose, the control of the dyslipidemia is important in the prevention and treatment of the micro- and macro-vascular diseases.

Abstract BackgroundWe aimed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of depression in type 2 diabetes mellitus with lower extremity arterial disease. Methods: Four hundred and forty-one patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from Peking University of International Hospital. All patients completed the Self-rating Depression Scale, which includes 20 items, using a 4-point scale. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was conducted to investigate risk factors of depression in patients with lower extremity arterial disease. Results: The prevalence of depression in lower extremity arterial disease group was significantly higher than that in non- lower extremity arterial disease group(25% vs 16%, P = 0.018). In lower extremity arterial disease group(n = 215), depression score(46.18 ± 7.38 vs 44.03 ± 6.53, P = 0.003) significantly increased compared with non lower extremity arterial disease group(n = 226). Compared with male depressive patients, the proportion of female depressive patients(38% vs 15%, P = 0.003) was significantly higher in lower extremity arterial disease group. The depression score of female depressive patients(57.83 ± 3.29 vs 55.26 ± 1.59, P = 0.003) was significantly higher than that of male depressive patients. An increased risk of depression in female patients(crude OR: 2.50, 95% CI: 1.38–4.54, P = 0.003; adjusted OR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.26–4.36, P = 0.008) and in patients with low body mass index(crude OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.80–0.96, P = 0.005; adjusted OR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.81–0.97, P = 0.011) was detected. Conclusion: Both low body mass index and female are risk factors for depression.

AbstractBackground and Aims. The identification of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with high cardio-vascular risk became more crucial, especially in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD). Our study is focusing on T2DM patients who suffered recently an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and evaluates the importance of albuminuria and NT-proBNP level as risk factors for short-term recurrence.Material and methods. 221 T2DM patients with recent ACS were evaluated 1 month after discharge, assessing NT-proBNP and albuminuria level and followed for 12 months for major adverse cardiac events (MACE).Results. Patients who reached the endpoint (33%) presented significantly higher levels of NT-proBNP (458.5 vs. 207.4 pg/ml, p<0.0001) and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (80 vs. 27 mg/g, p<0.0001) than those who did not present a MACE in the follow-up period. Comparison of the MACE-free survival curves revealed that NT-proBNP has a better power than albuminuria in the prediction of the short-term outcome: hazard ratio (HR)=1.6176 (95%CI: 1.0047-2.6044), p=0.0433 vs. HR=1.4813 (95%CI: 0.8497-2.5824), p=0.1921. Only the NT-proBNP level entered the multivariable regression model besides age and represents an independent risk factor (HR=1.0025, 95%CI: 1.0014-1.0035, p=0.0036).Conclusion. NT-proBNP provides excellent prognostic information in patients with diabetes mellitus who recently suffered an ACS. Albuminuria wasn’t an independent risk factor in this cohort.

Aim: Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) 2 times. PAD is diagnosed by ABI (Ankle Brachial Index). PAD increases mortality and morbidity of patient with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Type 2. This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors of PAD in the population of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.   Methods: This study was a community-based descriptive and analytic observational study that examines the prevalence and risk factors of PAD in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diagnosis of PAD was detected by ABI examination using VaSera VS-1500N. All patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Yogyakarta who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study. The research subjects were taken in multi-stage, cluster-random sampling in Yogyakarta. The patient will undergo an interview of demographic data which were assessed by one assessor.  Data from interviews and ABI examinations were analysed statistically.   Results: Two hundred and fifty-six (256) patients with type 2 DM consisted of 188 patients (73.4%) women and 68 patients (26.6%) men. Prevalence of PAD diagnosed by abnormal ABI was found in 41 (16%) of 256 patients. Subjects with age more than 67 years old was significantly associated with PAD occurrence (P=0,001) in type 2 DM population.   Conclusion: The prevalence of PAD was 16% of 256 type 2 DM patients. Age more than 67 years old was the strong risk factor of PAD in type 2 DM.   Key words: Ankle Brachial Index, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Diabetes mellitus, Prevalence, Risk Factor

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is one of the macrovascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is significant difference in the reported prevalence of PAD and its associated risk factors between Indian and Western studies. The purpose of this study was to examine the PAD complicating T2DM, in particular the influence of PAD on the risk of CAD.Methods: Randomly selected 100 T2DM patients presented to Guru Nanak Dev hospital were included. In addition to a detailed history and physical examination, anthropometric parameters like body mass index was measured. CAD in patients was diagnosed by a history of angina, ECG changes, any past history of CAD or any treatment taken for CAD. Ankle brachial index (ABI) was measured. Data was collected systematically and analyzed according to the standard statistical methods.Results: The prevalence of PAD was 15%. CAD was present in 31%. PAD was found to be significantly correlated with age, duration of diabetes, smoking, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, prevalence of BMI >25 kg/m2, HbA1c and serum HDL ≤40 mg%. Old age, high HbA1c level, and dyslipidaemia were found to be significant independent predictors of CAD.Conclusions: Using ABI authors found evidence of PAD in 15% patients of T2DM. The prevalence of CAD was higher in patients with PAD. So, there is definite and strong correlation between PAD and CAD. Thus, the early diagnosis of PAD should alert the clinician to a high probability of underlying CAD.
