Popis: Background Evidence of the cardiovascular benefits of adherence to quality indicators in diabetes care over a period of years is lacking. Methods and Results We conducted a population‐based, historical cohort study of 105 656 people aged 45 to 80 with pharmacologically treated diabetes and who were free of cardiac disease in 2010. Data were retrieved from electronic medical records of the 4 Israeli health maintenance organizations. The association between level of adherence to national quality indicators (2006–2010: adherence assessment) and incidence of cardiac outcome; ischemic heart disease or heart failure (2011–2016: outcome assessment) was estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. During 529 551 person‐years of follow‐up, 19 246 patients experienced cardiac disease. An inverse dose–response association between the level of adherence and risk of cardiac morbidity was shown for most of the quality indicators. The associations were modified by age, with stronger associations among younger patients (
