Aims/introduction: We assessed the relationship between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and/or diabetic kidney disease (DKD) according to their severity and all-cause, cancer, vascular and non-cancer non-vascular mortality in real-world patients with type 2 diabetes.

Materials And Methods: A total of 1,902 patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled from 1995 to 1999 and followed to 2017. At baseline, DR was diagnosed in 374 patients, DKD in 529, vision-threatening DR in 123 and advanced DKD in 287. Patients were classified by the status of DR and DKD. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was carried out.

Results: There were 266 deaths during a median follow-up period of 18.6 years. Among these, 92 were from cancer, 78 were from vascular causes and 82 were from non-cancer non-vascular causes. DR and/or DKD predicted all-cause, vascular and non-cancer non-vascular mortality, but not cancer mortality. Similarly, vision-threatening DR and/or advanced DKD predicted all-cause, vascular and non-cancer non-vascular mortality, but not cancer mortality. Hazard ratios for all-cause, vascular and non-cancer non-vascular mortality were highest in the DR(+)DKD(+) group, and higher in the DR(-)DKD(+) and the DR(+)DKD(-) groups than in the DR(-)DKD(-) group. The results for vision-threatening DR and advanced DKD were similar. The interaction for non-cancer non-vascular mortality, but not all-cause and vascular mortality, between DR and DKD and between vision-threatening DR and advanced DKD might be significant.

Conclusions: DR and DKD may be jointly and independently associated with all-cause, vascular and non-cancer non-vascular mortality, but not cancer mortality, according to their severity in real-world patients with type 2 diabetes.

Background And Aims: Matrix Gla protein (MGP), a vitamin K-dependent protein, is a potent inhibitor of vascular calcification. Desphospho-uncarboxylated MGP (dp-ucMGP), a marker of vitamin K insufficiency, has been shown to predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in high-risk populations. Whether the increased risk associated with dp-ucMGP also applies to the general, and especially, the elderly population has not yet been fully elucidated.

Association of SGLT2 inhibitors with lower incidence of death in type 2 diabetes mellitus and causes of death analysis.

Department of Public Health, College of Public Health, China Medical University, No. 100, Sec. 1, Jingmao Rd., Beitun Dist., Taichung City, 406040, Taiwan.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) potentially decrease all-cause and cardiovascular death, however, associations with non-cardiovascular death remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated SGLT2i associations with death and the cause of death. We used the Taiwanese National Health Institutes Research database linked to the National Register of Deaths (NRD).

Aims: The aim was to investigate sex- and age-stratified risks of cause-specific death and life expectancy in individuals with post-pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM).

Methods: Nationwide data on mortality in New Zealand were obtained. For two head-to-head comparisons (PPDM versus type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]; PPDM versus type 1 diabetes mellitus [T1DM]), the groups were matched on age, sex, and calendar year of diabetes diagnosis.

Background: Large reductions in diabetes complications have altered diabetes-related morbidity in the USA. It is unclear whether similar trends have occurred in causes of death.

Methods: Using data from the National Health Interview Survey Linked Mortality files from 1985 to 2015, we estimated age-specific death rates and proportional mortality from all causes, vascular causes, cancers, and non-vascular, non-cancer causes among US adults by diabetes status.
