Article Synopsis
- The study explored the long-term effects of intensive multifactorial treatment on hemodynamic indices in people with screen-detected type 2 diabetes.
- Participants from the ADDITION trial were examined 13 years after enrollment, with results showing that intensive treatment resulted in a lower carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), indicating improved aortic stiffness.
- While the intensive treatment group showed some benefits in terms of hemodynamic measures, the overall impact on other indices like central blood pressure was less clear.
Aims: To determine the association between concurrent overall burden of disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, self-rated health, HbA levels, and attendance at clinical follow-up of the Danish arm of the ADDITION-study.
Methods: Logistic regression models were used to study factors proposed being associated with attendance in clinical follow-up. We used data from clinical examinations, questionnaires and national registers at a time-point near the follow-up examination.
Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a common complication of diabetes and can be either painful or non-painful. It is challenging to diagnose this complication, as no biomarker or clear consensus on the clinical definition of either painful or non-painful DN exists. Hence, a hierarchical classification has been developed categorizing the probability of the diagnosis into: possible, probable or definite, based on the clinical presentation of symptoms and signs.
