Summary
Background
Many authors have analysed premature mortality in cohorts of type 2 diabetic patients, but no analyses have assessed mortality in hospitalised diabetic patients.
Aim
To construct predictive models to estimate the likelihood of all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetic inpatients.
Design
Cohort study with follow‐up from 2010 to 2014.
Methods
We evaluated mortality in a randomly selected cohort of 112 type 2 diabetic inpatients at the Hospital of Elda (Spain) in 2010–2012. Outcomes: all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality during the follow‐up. Other variables: gender, age, depression, asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin, pills, smoking, walking, baseline blood glucose and creatinine. Predictive tables with risk groups were constructed to estimate the likelihood of all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Calculations were made of the area under the ROC curve (AUC).
Results
During the follow‐up, 52 inpatients died (46.4%, 95% CI, confidence interval: 37.2–55.7%), 22 because of cardiovascular causes (19.6%, 95% CI: 12.3–27.0%). The mean follow‐up time was 2.7 ± 1.5 years. The AUC for the all‐cause mortality model was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.77–0.92, p < 0.001). Associated parameters: pills, smoking, walking, gender, insulin and age. The AUC for the cardiovascular mortality model was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.67–0.91, p < 0.001). Associated parameters: age, pills, walking, smoking, depression and insulin.
Conclusions
This study provides tools to predict premature mortality in type 2 diabetic inpatients. However, before their general application they require joint validation by the internal medicine unit, emergency department, primary healthcare unit and endocrinology service to enable better prediction of the prognosis and more adequate decision‐taking.
