Modern concepts about features of diabetes mellitus in very elderly patients are described in the article. Special attention to the therapeutic methods of management of very elderly patients with diabetes mellitus has been devoted. The results of diabetes mellitus study in patients with coronary artery disease older than 75 years in comparison with younger patients are presented.

Morbid Conditions

Coronary artery disease is extremely common among elderly people and accounts for half of all deaths in those who are more than 65 years old. Although the condition is essentially the same as that encountered in younger patients, the management of coronary artery disease in elderly subjects can be difficult because the anticipated benefits and risks of the various treatment options are often altered by the presence of co-morbid conditions. Moreover, the results of the major outcome studies that underpin most treatment guidelines may not be relevant to the needs of many elderly patients for several reasons.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background-Whether Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) confers a survival benefit in patients with diabetes mellitus(DM) and complex coronary artery disease (CAD), including left main CAD and multivessel coronary disease (MVD) after a follow up period ≥ 5 years remains unknown. Methods- Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane) were searched from inception to December 12th 2020. Using a generic invariance weighted random effects model, Hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from individual studies were converted to Log HRs and corresponding standard errors, which were then pooled. The primary outcome of interest was all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) which was defined as a composite of death, myocardial reinfarction and stroke at ≥ 5 years. Results-A total of 8 studies with 13336 participants(PCI = 6783, CABG = 6553)were included in our analysis. Mean age was 54.6 and 55.3 in the PCI-DES and CABG groups respectively. The 5-yr follow-up outcomes including all-cause mortality (HR 1.37; 95%CI 1.15-1.65; p = 0.0006, I2 = 0)and MACCE (HR 1.48; 95%CI 1.29-1.69; p < 0.00001, I2 = 0) were significantly higher with PCI as compared to CABG. Furthermore, at >5 year follow-up, all-cause mortality (HR 1.35; 95%CI 1.10-1.66; p = 0.004, I2 = 37) and MACCE (HR 1.98; 95%CI 1.85-2.12; p < 0.00001, I2 = 0) had similar outcomes. Conclusion-Amongst patients with DM and Complex CAD ( left main/MVD), CABG was associated with improved long-term mortality and freedom from MACCEs as opposed to PCI-DES. CABG is the preferred revascularization strategy in patients with complex anatomic disease and concurrent diabetes. Abstract Figure.
