Cause-Specific Risk Factors of Death in Individuals with Diabetes: A Competing Risks Modeling.

Background: Diabetes is on the rise worldwide.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of various causes of death in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: In this cohort study on 2638 people with T2D, we applied cause-specific and sub-distribution hazards models to assess the impact of various factors on the risk of death.

Predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular-specific mortality in type 2 diabetes: A competing risk modeling of an Iranian population.

Background: In Asian population, diabetes mellitus is increasing and has become an important health problem in recent decades. In Iran, cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for nearly 46% of the total costs spent for diabetes-associated diseases. Because individuals with diabetes have highly increased CVD risk compared with normal individuals, it is important to diagnosis factors that may increase CVD risk in diabetic patients.
