ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Microvascular complications' risk differs between people with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and people with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to investigate whether the prevalence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy, a life-threatening complication of diabetes, also varies depending on diabetes type.METHODS:
In this cross-sectional study, 43 adults with LADA, 80 with type 1 diabetes and 61 with type 2 diabetes were screened for cardiac autonomic neuropathy with recommended tests. Logistic regression models were used to test differences between diabetes types adjusting for confounders.RESULTS:
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy was diagnosed in 17 (40%) participants with LADA, 21 (26%) participants with type 1 diabetes and 39 (64%) participants with type 2 diabetes (p < 0.001). The odds ratio (OR) for cardiac autonomic neuropathy in type 1 diabetes and in type 2 diabetes compared to LADA were 0.54 (95% CI 0.25-1.20, p-value 0.13) and 2.71 (95% CI 1.21-6.06, p-value 0.015) respectively. Smoking (adj OR 3.09, 95% CI 1.40-6.82, p-value 0.005), HDL cholesterol (adj OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.09-0.93, p-value 0.037) and hypertension (adj OR 2.11, 95% CI 1.05-4.24, p-value 0.037) were independent modifiable risk factors for cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Differences among diabetes types did not change after correction for confounders.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first study offering a comparative evaluation of cardiac autonomic neuropathy among LADA, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, showing a lower risk of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in LADA compared to type 2 diabetes and similar compared to type 1 diabetes. This disparity was not due to differences in age, metabolic control or cardiovascular risk factors.Palavras-chave
