Prevalence and associated factors of vascular complications among inpatients with type 2 diabetes: A retrospective database study at a tertiary care department, Ningbo, China

Abstract: To determine the prevalence of vascular complications among inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and factors independently associated with vascular complications in a tertiary care department in Ningbo, China, the authors conducted a cross-sectional study using an existing computerised medical records database. A total of 3370 adult patients with T2DM were admitted to this tertiary care department for the first time between 2012 and 2017. Patients were categorised as those (1) with at least one vasc… Show more

“… 6 In a previous study on the vascular complications of T2DM, we included microvascular complications (ie, diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy/foot) and macrovascular complications (ie, coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral arterial disease) and found that more than one-half of the patients with T2DM had vascular complications. 30 In the present study, we explored comorbidities in patients with T2DM using a recommended definition. Comorbidity was defined as the coexistence of at least one other chronic condition, either a physical (non-communicable/infectious disease) or mental health condition.…”

“…Globally, around 1/5th (18.8%) of type 2 diabetes mellitus developed microvascular complications [14], and this proportion was increased to 45% in middle east [15] and 47.8% in African diabetes [16]. In particular, different studies were conducted in different countries and revealed varying prevalence which is supported in USA 77% [17], Brazil 41.6% [18], China 57.5% [19], Spain 25.2% [20], Bangladesh 50.4% [21], Greenland 68% [12], Kuwait 61.6% [22], Saudi Arabia 35.4% [23], and Ghana 35.3% [24].…”

“…Previous study conducted in Shananxi also reported that utility index was decreasing with age, also this trend was not significant [31]. A previous study has indicated that the complications including vascular, microvascular, and macrovascular increased with aging for hypertensive individuals [37], which corresponded to a lower HRQoL in old patients. Gender was also a crucial factor in HRQoL of hypertensive individuals.…”
