Abstrakt: Introduction: It is unclear whether the increased risk associated with diabetes in patients on dialysis is due to diabetes or a consequence of associated cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Aim: The purpose of this work was to answer the question: do diabetes and CVD have a similar impact on the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis?
Methods: A prespecified protocol was used to prospectively evaluate and follow up 310 diabetic patients on hemodialysis without clinical evidence of CVD and 395 nondiabetic patients with CVD. Endpoint was the incidence of composite CV events and coronary events.
Results: The incidence of composite CV events (log-rank = 0.540) and coronary events (log-rank = 0.400) did not differ between groups. Because of the potential influence of occult CVD in patients with diabetes, we repeated the analysis excluding subjects with altered ejection fraction, a myocardial perfusion scan defect, and coronary artery disease in the group of patients with diabetes. Again we found no difference between groups (log-rank = 0.657).
Conclusion: In patients on hemodialysis, diabetes and CVD carry similar risks for CV events. These results are congruent with the diabetes mellitus-CVD equivalence risk concept reported in the general population.
