Risk stratification for 25-year cardiovascular disease incidence in type 1 diabetes: Tree-structured survival analysis of the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications study

Abstract: Background The formal identification of subgroups with varying levels of risk is uncommon in observational studies of cardiovascular disease (CVD), although such insight might be useful for clinical management. Methods Tree-structured survival analysis (TSSA) was utilized to determine whether there are meaningful subgroups at varying levels of CVD risk in the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study, a prospective cohort study of childhood-onset (<17 years old) type 1 diabetes.

“…Indeed, in an important recent report from DCCT/EDIC, the authors show that the association of HbA 1c with 10-year CVD risk seems to be increasingly mediated by other risk factors with increasing age and diabetes duration (23). Other EDC analyses have also provided evidence that renal disease is a particularly important predictor of CVD at longer type 1 diabetes durations (24). Current AER was a stronger predictor of CVD risk compared with baseline or mean AER in the current analyses, supporting the hypothesis that worsening AER with increasing type 1 diabetes duration is driving the association between AER and CVD incidence.…”

“…According to a review coauthored by the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, cardiovascular events occur more frequently and earlier in patients with T1D than in nondiabetic populations . Although the precise mechanisms by which diabetes increases the likelihood of developing CVD are not completely defined, various pathological conditions may be responsible, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. , Notably, it has been reported that microalbuminuria predicts vascular disease and that proteinuria may be a key marker for CVD and even death . Ostensibly, as nephropathy progresses, secondary metabolic disturbances may accelerate atherosclerosis and the onset of CVD .…”

“…According to the latest European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines on diabetes, prediabetes and CVD, patients with a longer T1D duration (i.e., > 10 years) are automatically considered at highor very high risk to develop CVD [6]. However, there seems to be substantial heterogeneity in CV risk in T1D [7,8]. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately assess CV risk in patients with T1D and there is growing research interest into CV risk stratification tools [8][9][10][11].…”
