ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
There are few papers comparing complications of type 1 diabetes with those of a similarly young age with type 2 diabetes. The aim of our nationwide study was to compare the risks of mortality and morbidities between the two types of diabetes (age ≤ 40).METHODS:
We identified all young adult patients with type 1 diabetes who were recorded in the database of the Hungarian National Health Insurance Fund between 2001 and 2014 (n = 11 863) and compared them with a population of similar age with young adult type 2 diabetes (n = 47 931). The incidence of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, any type of cancer, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hypoglycemia was followed from the onset of diabetes to the date of death or end of study period.RESULTS:
The risks of all-cause mortality were significantly higher in patients with type 1 compared with patients with type 2 diabetes (hazard ratio, 95%CI; 2.17, 1.95-2.41; P < .0001). The risks of myocardial infarction (0.90, 0.71-1.13; P = 0.36) and stroke (1.06, 0.87-1.29; P = .582) were not significantly different in type 1 compared with type 2. In contrast, the risk of cancer (1.35, 1.15-1.59; P = .0003), dialysis (2.20, 1.76-2.75; P < .0001), hypoglycemia (7.70, 6.45-9.18; P < .0001), and ketoacidosis (22.12, 19.60-25.00; P < .0001) was higher among patients with type 1 compared with those with type 2 diabetes.CONCLUSIONS:
A comparatively higher incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia and higher risk of cancer and dialysis in patients with type 1 diabetes than in those with type 2 may play a role in the higher risk of mortality.Palavras-chave
