Diabetes mellitus is one of the major health problems in the world, the incidence and associated mortality are increasing. Fourth leading causes of death in the most advanced countries and there, in other emerging and recently industrialized nations, still controlled the epidemic. Inadequate control of blood sugar has significant consequences for well-being. Ayurveda and other Indian writing referenced the utilized of plants in the treatment of different diseases. Medicinal plant with antidiabetic potential has been recent area of research. The efficiency of these medicinal plants may regulate the diabetic metabolic abnormalities. This work would help researchers to choose potential herbal for diabetic treatment.

Abstract Background The cause of death statistics in Germany include a relatively high share (26% in 2017) of ill-defined deaths (IDD). To make use of the cause of death statistics for Burden of Disease calculations we redistribute those IDD to valid causes of death.Methods The process of proportional redistribution is described in detail. It makes use of the distribution of the valid ICD-codes in the data. We use examples of stroke, diabetes, and heart failure to illustrate how IDD are reallocated. ResultsThe largest increases for both women and men can be found for lower respiratory infections, diabetes mellitus, and stroke. The numbers of deaths for these causes more than double after redistribution. ConclusionThis is the first comprehensive redistribution of IDD within the German cause of death statistics. Performing a redistribution is necessary, otherwise there would be an underreporting of certain causes of death or large numbers of deaths coded to residual or unspecific codes.

The academician E.A. Wagner Perm State Medical University, Perm, 614000, Russian Federation The article presents the results of analysis of dynamics, causes of mortality and lethality in consequence of diabetes mellitus ofpopulation of the Perm krai. The materials of official statistics were used provided by the regional medical informational analytical center for 13 years, the state register of diabetes mellitus (2015) and primary documentation of the municipal endocrinological department for 25 years. According the official statistics data, in total number of the deceased in the Perm krai percentage of patients with diseases of endocrine system consisted 0.4%. The average annual level of mortality is 7.1 per 100 thousand of population. According the state register of diabetes mellitus, every third patient (30.6%) died because of chronic cardiovascular inefficiency, 14.3% because of acute disturbed cerebral circulation, 5.2% because of acute myocardium infarction and 0.8% because of chronic renal inefficiency. The oncological pathology comprised 7.8% of all causes of death. The age and gender differences of indices of mortality are established. The rate of cases of death increased with age. The females died in 1.9 times more often than males. The average level of hospital lethality comprised 2.2 of 100 and daily lethality - 0.5 of 100 underwent patients. The macro-vascular complications are registered as leading causes of death. The positive dynamics of hospital lethality because of acute disturbed cerebral circulation (5 times decreasing of indicator in 25 years) was established.

The paper presents the point of view of an endocrinologist to causes of death in patients with most prevalent endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus and obesity. The author critically analyzes the trends of the last years in the principles of registration of causes of death in diabetes mellitus, emphasizing the need to differentiate between “associated diseases” and “etiologically related diseases”.

Coding of the causes of death of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the Russian Federation is one of the long-discussed problems, due to the comorbidity of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and a number of contradictions in the key regulatory documents regulating the statistics of mortality in this category of patients, which acquires particular relevance in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, due to its negative impact on the outcomes of the course of COVID-19 and mortality risks. In pursuance of the decisions of the Minutes of the meeting of the working group under the project committee of the National Project «Health» on identifying patterns in the formation of mortality rates of the population dated January 20, 2021 No. 1, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation T.A. Golikova, experts of two directions - endocrinology and pathological anatomy, prepared a Draft of agreed recommendations on the Rules for coding the causes of death of patients with diabetes, causing the greatest problems in terms of the use of ICD-10 when choosing the initial cause of death, including in the case of death from CVD and COVID-19.

Background: Asian Indians (AI) in the US are known to have a high prevalence of atherosclerotic diseases and diabetes mellitus (DM). However, it is not known if these two cluster as causes of death in AI compared to the rest of US population. Methods: Using 2017 Multiple Cause-of-Death Data from the National Centre for Health Statistics, we included deaths at age ≥ 45 years among US residents where AI vs not-AI could be ascertained (n = 7940 AI; n = 2.6 million not-AI). DM (ICD-10 range: E10-E14) and any atherosclerosis (either of: ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, atherosclerosis; ICD-10 range: I20-I25, I69, I70, respectively) as contributing causes of death were identified in AI and not-AI. We calculated dichotomous tetrachoric correlation (Rho) between DM and atherosclerosis as co-occurring contributing causes. To examine whether this association differed by age decade and sex, we calculated the difference in fraction of deaths with DM in those with atherosclerosis versus those without atherosclerosis as a co-occurring cause of death. Results: There were 114,210 atherosclerosis deaths and 24,331 DM deaths in 2017 in the sample. DM and atherosclerosis as contributing causes correlated more strongly in AI (Rho = 0.36, p < 0.001) as compared to not-AI (Rho = 0.31, p < 0.001; difference between groups, p < 0.001). The excess fraction of deaths due to DM when atherosclerosis also contributed vs when atherosclerosis did not contribute was higher in AI men of all ages and in most ages for AI women, except for a group where AI death numbers were smaller (Figure). Conclusion: Our findings highlight the increased burden of co-occurring DM and atherosclerotic disease together contributing as causes of death in AI compared to not-AI in the US. Public health strategies targeted to AI should focus on prevention and clinical treatment of both conditions jointly, in both men and women, especially during young adulthood and middle age.
