Unveiling the hidden risks: albumin-corrected anion gap as a superior marker for cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetes: insights from a nationally prospective cohort study.
Aims: Hypoalbuminemia can lead to underestimations of the true anion gap levels. There are few data on albumin-corrected serum anion gap (ACAG) status and mortality in the diabetes. The study aimed to examine the association between ACAG and all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.
Methods: Herein, 8,161 diabetic adults were included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018. National Mortality Index (NDI) data were used for determining mortality outcomes through 31 December 2019. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the risk of all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. We conducted a mediation analysis using the counterfactual framework method to estimate how ACAG may be indirectly associated with increased mortality risk through mediators.
Results: A total of 2,309 deaths were documented over 8,161 person-years of follow up, including 659 cardiovascular and 399 cancer deaths. In multivariate analyses, higher ACAG levels had a significant correlation with an increase in all-cause (HR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.38-1.81; P=0.001), cardiovascular (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.05-1.72; P=0.019), and cancer (HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.02-1.96; P=0.018) mortality rates than the controls. Results of the mediation analysis showed that altered levels of C-reactive protein and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) explained 7.867% and 7.669% of the relation between serum ACAG and all-cause mortality, respectively (all P<0.05). Total cholesterol and HbA1c mediated 15.402% and 14.303% of the associations with cardiovascular mortality, respectively (all P<0.05).
Conclusions: Higher ACAG levels were significantly associated with increased all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. Researchers suggest that patients with T2D who control ACAG in a normal state may be at a lower risk of mortality.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Endocrinology is a field journal of the "Frontiers in" journal series.
In today’s world, endocrinology is becoming increasingly important as it underlies many of the challenges societies face - from obesity and diabetes to reproduction, population control and aging. Endocrinology covers a broad field from basic molecular and cellular communication through to clinical care and some of the most crucial public health issues. The journal, thus, welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of endocrinology.
Frontiers in Endocrinology publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Endocrinology. The mission of Frontiers in Endocrinology is to bring all relevant Endocrinology areas together on a single platform.
