Research Article: All-Cause, Cardiovascular and Respiratory Mortality in People with Type Diabetes and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in England: A Cohort Study Using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)
Abstract:
Type Diabetes (TD) is a metabolic disorder of persistent hyperglycemia that can be attributed to either defective insulin secretion or insulin resistance. In , there were ,, people diagnosed with TD in the United Kingdom (UK) with current trends showing that the prevalence is increasing, in both adults and children. By it is expected that more than million will be diagnosed with TD in the UK. An early nation-wide cohort UK study showed a . times increase in Hazard Ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality in people with TD as compared with people without TD. Similar studies have shown that this hazard ratio is increased as the number of co-morbidities increases, in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular-cause mortality.,
