SHR was the most consistent independent predictor of 1-year all-cause mortality in both diabetic and non-diabetic STEMI, whereas glucose was the best predictor in NSTEMI patients (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Completion of annual diabetes care processes and mortality: A cohort study using the National Diabetes Audit for England and Wales
People with diabetes who have fewer routine care processes have higher mortality (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Cardiovascular outcomes with sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors vs other glucose-lowering drugs in 13 countries across three continents: analysis of CVD-REAL data
The initiation of SGLT-2i as compared with other glucose-lowering drugs in routine clinical practice is associated with decreased risk of heart failure, all-cause death, myocardial infarction and stroke (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
All-cause mortality prediction models in type 2 diabetes: applicability in the early stage of disease
Our data show that two well-established prediction models of all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes can also be successfully applied in the early stage of the disease, thus becoming powerful tools for educated and timely prevention strategies for high-risk patients (Acta Diabetologica)
Trends in predominant causes of death in individuals with and without diabetes in England from 2001 to 2018: an epidemiological analysis of linked primary care records
The decline in vascular death rates has been accompanied by a diversification of causes in individuals with diagnosed diabetes and a transition from vascular diseases to cancers as the leading contributor to diabetes-related death. Clinical and preventative approaches must reflect this trend to reduce the excess mortality risk in individuals with diabetes (Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
Potential Unrealized Mortality Benefit of GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and SGLT2 Inhibitors
This analysis indicates unrealized opportunities to reduce mortality in selected Veterans with T2D and CAD via increased use of GLP‐1RA and SGLT2i (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Organisation of primary diabetes care in people with type 2 diabetes in relation to all-cause mortality: a nationwide register-based cohort study
This nationwide register-based cohort study suggests that the number of WTE GPs devoted to diabetes care have an impact on the risk of early death in people with T2DM (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Pain in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes-Related Polyneuropathy Is Associated With Vascular Events and Mortality
Our study found a significant association between pain in DPN and an increased risk of vascular events and mortality (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and COVID-19 related mortality in England: a cohort study in people with diabetes
Deaths in people with diabetes in England have more than doubled during the COVID-19 epidemic. Hyperglycaemia and obesity in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes were independently associated with increased COVID-19 mortality. Risk factor control could diminish the impact of COVID-19 in diabetes (NHS England)
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and COVID-19 related mortality in England: a whole population study
This nationwide analysis in England demonstrates that all types of diabetes are independently associated with a significant increased risk of in-hospital death with COVID-19 (NHS England)
Socio‐economic status and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes in Scotland 2006–2015: a retrospective cohort study
Socio‐economic deprivation was associated with a steeper mortality gradient in people with type 1 diabetes than in the population without type 1 diabetes in Scotland. Age‐standardized mortality has decreased over time but socio‐economic inequalities may be increasing. (Diabetic Medicine)
Relationship Between Body Mass Index, Antidiabetic Agents, and Midterm Mortality in Patients With Both Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Acute Coronary Syndrome
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndrome, the relationship between body mass index and mortality rate is U‐shaped, with class I obesity representing the nadir and normal weight the peak. The protective effect of obesity disappeared in patients treated with insulin (JAHA)
The All-Cause Mortality and a Screening Tool to Determine High-Risk Patients among Prevalent Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
The model has moderate accuracy; the prognostic model can be used as a screening tool to classify T2DM patients who are at higher risk for mortality within five years (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Multiple risk factor control, mortality and cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease: a population-based cohort study
Multiple risk factor control (MRFC) may lower the increased risks for mortality and cardiovascular events in people with diabetes and CKD (BMJ Open)
How Does Empagliflozin Reduce Cardiovascular Mortality? Insights From a Mediation Analysis of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME Trial
In this exploratory analysis from the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, changes in markers of plasma volume were the most important mediators of the reduction in risk of CV death with empagliflozin versus placebo (Diabetes Care)
Pioglitazone and cause-specific risk of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes: extended analysis from a European multidatabase cohort study
This analysis suggests that pioglitazone is associated with a decrease in both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality. Results should be interpreted with caution due to the potential for residual confounding in this exploratory analysis. Further studies, specifically designed to test the association between pioglitazone use and patient-focused outcomes, are suggested (BMJ)
Fasting Glucose and All-Cause Mortality by Age in Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study
Optimal fasting glucose range for survival is higher in adults with than without known prevalent diabetes, except, perhaps, younger adults. Tight glucose control may lessen premature death in younger adults with diabetes. Hypoglycemia (<65 mg/dL) was associated with higher mortality than was fasting glucose 170–199 mg/dL, while fasting glucose 65–84 mg/dL had risks comparable with those at levels 140–169 mg/dL in diabetes (Diabetes Care)
Diabetes Is Not Associated With Increased 90-Day Mortality Risk in Critically Ill Patients With Sepsis
In the current retrospective large database review, diabetes was not associated with adjusted 90-day mortality risk in critically ill patients admitted with sepsis (Critical Care Medicine)
National Diabetes Audit, 2015-16 Report 2: Complications and Mortality
This report from the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) covers complications of diabetes. It does not include diabetic eye disease or hypoglycaemia because presently there are no reliable records of these that the NDA can access. Most other cardiovascular and diabetes specific complications are included Download (HQIP)
Inpatient screening for albuminuria and retinopathy to predict long-term mortality in type 2 diabetic patients
Albuminuria in type 2 diabetic inpatients is a strong predictor of long-term mortality after discharge from the hospital. Retinopathy is an independent predictor of mortality in type 2 diabetic inpatients without albuminuria but not in those with albuminuria. A low eGFR is a better predictor of mortality than retinopathy in type 2 diabetic inpatients with albuminuria (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
