Abstract
Objectives
To analyse the incidence of first hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in a cohort of patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with those without T2DM, attended in primary care.
Participants
Retrospective cohort study including both the entire adult population of Catalonia who developed T2DM (N = 518,232), and three paired controls for each of them (N = 1503,812), followed between January 2010 and December 2023. Patients’ characteristics and diagnostics were drawn from the System for the Development of Research in Primary Care (SIDIAP) database. Information on the first hospitalization was obtained from the hospital discharge database (CMBD).
Primary and secondary outcome measures
We analysed the incidence of first hospitalization for HF.
Results
Over the 13-year period of the study, there were 24,565 (4.7 %) and 25,886 (1.7 %) episodes of first hospitalization for HF among those with and without T2DM, respectively. In patients with incident T2DM we found that hypertension (HR 8.59; 95 % CI 7.41 – 9.96), atrial fibrillation (HR 2.30; 95 % CI 2.15 – 2.45) and ischemic heart disease (HR 1.61; 95 %CI 1.50 – 1.72) were the main predictors of first hospitalization for HF. Chronic kidney disease, age, male sex, obesity, dyslipidemia, and global comorbidity, also contributed to the risk of incident heart failure.
Conclusions
Incidence of first hospitalization for HF in patients newly diagnosed with T2DM, attended in primary care is three-fold higher than in those without T2DM. This Incidence remains stable in spite of new therapeutic approaches.
