Behind the Hospital Ward: In-Hospital Mortality of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Indonesia (Analysis of National Health Insurance Claim Sample Data). INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2024; 21:581. [PMID: 38791795 PMCID: PMC11121246 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph21050581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
The rising global prevalence of diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder, poses significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. This study examined in-hospital mortality among patients diagnosed with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) of ICD-10, or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), in Indonesia, utilizing hospital claims data spanning from 2017 to 2022 obtained from the Indonesia Health Social Security Agency or Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) Kesehatan. The analysis, which included 610,809 hospitalized T2DM patients, revealed an in-hospital mortality rate of 6.6%. Factors contributing to an elevated risk of mortality included advanced age, the presence of comorbidities, and severe complications. Additionally, patients receiving health subsidies and those treated in government hospitals were found to have higher mortality risks. Geographic disparities were observed, highlighting variations in healthcare outcomes across different regions. Notably, the complication of ketoacidosis emerged as the most significant risk factor for in-hospital mortality, with an odds ratio (OR) of 10.86, underscoring the critical need for prompt intervention and thorough management of complications to improve patient outcomes.

The Association of Malnutrition and Health-Related Factors among 474,467 Older Community-Dwellers: A Population-Based Data Mining Study in Guangzhou, China. Nutrients 2024; 16:1338. [PMID: 38732585 PMCID: PMC11085532 DOI: 10.3390/nu16091338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the prevalence and associated factors of malnutrition in older community-dwellers and explore the interaction between associated factors. METHODS A total of 474,467 older community-dwellers aged 65 or above were selected in Guangzhou, China. We used a two-step methodology to detect the associated factors of malnutrition and constructed logistic regression models to explore the influencing factors and interactive effects on three patterns of malnutrition. RESULTS The prevalence of malnutrition was 22.28%. Older adults with both hypertension and diabetes (RERI = 0.13), both meat or fish diet and hypertension (RERI = 0.79), and both meat or fish diet and diabetes (RERI = 0.81) had positive additive interaction effects on the risk of obesity, whereas those on a vegetarian diet with hypertension (RERI = -0.25) or diabetes (RERI = -0.19) had negative additive interaction effects. Moreover, the interactions of physical activity with a meat or fish diet (RERI = -0.84) or dyslipidemia (RERI = -0.09) could lower the risk of obesity. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition was influenced by different health factors, and there were interactions between these influencing factors. Pertinent dietary instruction should be given according to different nutritional status indexes and the prevalence of metabolic diseases to avoid the occurrences of malnutrition among older adults.

Serum vitamin B12, distal symmetrical polyneuropathy and anaemia in type 2 diabetes: the Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase 2. Intern Med J 2024; 54:575-581. [PMID: 37665691 DOI: 10.1111/imj.16225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data relating to the effects of metformin-associated vitamin B12 deficiency on the risk of distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN) and megaloblastic anaemia in well-characterised community-based cohorts. AIMS To assess inter-relationships between metformin therapy, vitamin B12 deficiency assessed using serum active B12 concentrations, and DSPN and anaemia in 1492 Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase 2 (FDS2) participants with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Prevalence rates of vitamin B12 deficiency (total <80 pmol/L, active <23 pmol/L) and borderline deficiency (total ≥80 and ≤200 pmol/L, active ≥23 and ≤35 pmol/L) were determined using baseline sera. The relationship between vitamin B12 status and both DSPN and anaemia was assessed using multivariable analyses. RESULTS Most FDS2 participants (94.4%) were vitamin B12 replete (total serum concentration >200 pmol/L, active >35 pmol/L), 2.0% were deficient (total <80 pmol/L, active <23 pmol/L) and the remainder (3.6%) borderline. Although metformin treatment increased the odds of deficiency (4.2%, 3.1% borderline) in a dose-dependent fashion (odds ratio (95% confidence interval) 39.4 (4.90-316) for >2000 mg daily compared with no treatment; P < 0.001), there was no significant association between vitamin B12 status and DSPN, anaemia (haemoglobin ≤130 g/L males, ≤120 g/L females), haemoglobin concentration or mean corpuscular volume (P ≥ 0.147). Metformin increased the likelihood of anaemia, especially at high doses, independent of vitamin B12 deficiency. CONCLUSIONS Since nutritional sources likely attenuate metformin-associated vitamin B12 malabsorption and its clinical sequelae in developed countries such as Australia, there is no need for routine/opportunistic serum vitamin B12 screening in metformin-treated patients.

Prognostic Value of Hemoglobin Concentration on Renal Outcomes with Diabetic Kidney Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:1367-1381. [PMID: 38529168 PMCID: PMC10962468 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s452280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients with anemia face an elevated risk of glomerular filtration rate decline. However, the association between hemoglobin and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) progression remains to be elucidated. Methods A retrospective cohort of 815 subjects with DKD was followed from January 2010 to January 2023. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was utilized to explore the predictive role of hemoglobin in renal outcomes. Renal outcomes were defined as a composite endpoint, including a 50% decline in eGFR from baseline or progression to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). To unveil any nonlinear relationship between hemoglobin and renal outcomes, Cox proportional hazard regression with cubic spline functions and smooth curve fitting was conducted. Additionally, subgroup analyses were performed to identify specific patient populations that might derive greater benefits from higher hemoglobin. Results Among the 815 DKD subjects, the mean age was 56.482 ± 9.924 years old, and 533 (65.4%) were male. The mean hemoglobin was 121.521±22.960 g/L. The median follow-up time was 21.103±18.335 months. A total of 182 (22.33%) individuals reached the renal composite endpoint during the study period. After adjusting for covariates, hemoglobin was found to exert a negative impact on the renal composite endpoint in patients with DKD (HR 0.975, 95% CI [0.966, 0.984]). A nonlinear relationship between hemoglobin and the renal composite endpoint was identified with an inflection point at 109 g/L. Subgroup analysis unveiled a more pronounced association between hemoglobin and renal prognosis in males. Conclusion Hemoglobin emerges as a predictive indicator for the renal prognosis of diabetic kidney disease in China. This study reveals a negative and non-linear relationship between hemoglobin levels and the renal composite endpoint. A substantial association is noted when hemoglobin surpasses 109 g/L in relation to the renal composite endpoint.

Prevalence and prognostic significance of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in community-based people with type 2 diabetes: the Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase II. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:102. [PMID: 38500197 PMCID: PMC10949593 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02185-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of contemporary data on the prevalence and prognostic significance of cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) from community-based cohorts with type 2 diabetes assessed using gold standard methods. The aim of this study was to assess these aspects of CAN in the longitudinal observational Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase II (FDS2). METHODS FDS2 participants were screened at baseline using standardised cardiovascular reflex tests (CARTs) of heart rate variation during deep breathing, Valsalva manoeuvre and standing. CAN (no/possible/definite) was assessed from the number of abnormal CARTs. Multinomial regression identified independent associates of CAN status. Cox proportional hazards modelling determined independent baseline predictors of incident heart failure (HF) and ischaemic heart disease (IHD), and all-cause mortality. RESULTS Of 1254 participants assessed for CAN, 86 (6.9%) were outside CART age reference ranges and valid CART data were unavailable for 338 (27.0%). Of the remaining 830 (mean age 62.3 years, 55.3% males, median diabetes duration 7.3 years), 51.0%, 33.7% and 15.3% had no, possible or definite CAN, respectively. Independent associates of definite CAN (longer diabetes duration, higher body mass index and resting pulse rate, antidepressant and antihypertensive therapies, albuminuria, distal sensory polyneuropathy, prior HF) were consistent with those reported previously. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, definite CAN was associated with a lower likelihood of incident IHD and HF versus no/possible CAN (P < 0.001) and there was a graded increase in all-cause mortality risk from no CAN to possible and definite CAN (P < 0.001). When CAN category was added to the most parsimonious models, it was not a significant independent predictor of IHD (P ≥ 0.851) or HF (P ≥ 0.342). Possible CAN (hazard ratio (95% CI) 1.47 (1.01, 2.14), P = 0.046) and definite CAN (2.42 (1.60, 3.67), P < 0.001) increased the risk of all-cause mortality versus no CAN. CONCLUSIONS Routine screening for CAN in type 2 diabetes has limited clinical but some prognostic value.

Modification Effects of Albuminuria on the Association Between Kidney Function and Development of Anemia in Diabetes. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:1012-1032. [PMID: 37955878 PMCID: PMC10940265 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Previous studies failed to adjust for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in evaluating the association between albuminuria and anemia development, and we aimed to investigate whether albuminuria independently affects anemia development. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study and retrospectively identified adults with diabetes from a Japanese nationwide clinical database (JMDC, Tokyo, Japan). To assess the modification effects of albuminuria on the association between eGFR and anemia development, we estimated prevalence of anemia, defined as hemoglobin < 13 g/dL in men and < 12 g/dL in women, using a modified Poisson regression and marginal standardization form of predictive margins, stratified by albuminuria severity after adjusting for eGFR. Hence, we revealed at which eGFR level this modification effect appeared and the extent to which this modification effect increased the prevalence of anemia. RESULTS We identified 327 999 data points from 48 056 individuals [normoalbuminuria: 186 472 (56.9%), microalbuminuria: 107 170 (32.7%), and macroalbuminuria: 34 357 (10.5%)]. As eGFR declined, anemia prevalence increased. Albuminuria severity modified this association induced by decreased eGFR among individuals with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 after adjusting for multivariable factors, including age, sex, comorbidities, and medication use. Compared with the normoalbuminuric group, the macroalbuminuric group had a 5% to 20% higher anemia prevalence among individuals with eGFR of <30 mL/min/1.73 m2. CONCLUSION We revealed that the severity of albuminuria modified the association between eGFR and anemia development among individuals with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, highlighting the modification effect of albuminuria on the association between kidney function and anemia development in diabetes.

Abstract
Information about anemia in liver transplant (LTx) recipients is scarce. We investigated the prevalence and severity of anemia before and within the first-year post-LTx, risk factors for having anemia before LTx, and 1-year survival according to anemia status before LTx. This retrospective cohort study received data from The Knowledge Center for Transplantation database at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression were used to investigate factors associated with anemia and a Kaplan-Meier plot to illustrate the probability of survival. We included 346 first-time adult LTx recipients. The median age was 50 years (IQR: 42-57), and 203 (59%) were male. The prevalence of anemia before and 1-year post-LTx were 69 and 45%, respectively. Male sex (aOR 4.0 [95% CI: 2.2-7.2]; p < 0.001) and each unit increase in MELD score (aOR 1.2 [95% CI: 1.1-1.2]; p < 0.001) were positively associated with anemia before LTx. Compared to autoimmune liver diseases, LTx recipients with fulminant hepatic failure (aOR 0.03 [0.00-0.17]; p = 0.001) had lower odds for anemia. The 1-year survival in LTx recipients who had and did not have anemia before transplantation were 93 and 91% (p = 0.47). Anemia was frequent among LTx recipients, and anemia before LTx did not affect 1-year survival.

Association between N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and clinical outcomes in bedridden patients with stroke: a cross-sectional study. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e077083. [PMID: 38286702 PMCID: PMC10826584 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-077083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with stroke often remain bedridden despite rehabilitation. Serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) levels increase after stroke. Our study aimed to investigate the difference in NT-pro-BNP levels between bedridden and non-bedridden patients with stroke and to explore the factors influencing NT-pro-BNP levels in bedridden patients. DESIGN A single-centre, cross-sectional study. SETTING This study was conducted in a hospital, Shenzhen, China. PARTICIPANTS Between January 2019 and December 2022, 465 participants were included in this study. OUTCOME MEASURES The collected data included basic information, laboratory data and echocardiographic parameters. Binary logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to identify factors associated with high NT-pro-BNP levels. RESULTS Bedridden patients with stroke had higher levels of NT-pro-BNP, D-dimer, high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and lower levels of creatinine, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, albumin and haemoglobin, as well as lower left ventricular ejection fraction, fractional shortening and the ratio between the peak velocities of early and late diastolic filling than non-bedridden patients. In bedridden patients, age ≥75 years, high levels of hs-CRP and creatinine, and low levels of albumin were associated with high NT-pro-BNP levels. In non-bedridden patients, age ≥75 years and high creatinine levels were associated with high NT-pro-BNP levels. In bedridden patients with stroke, the area under the curve (AUC) of hs-CRP was 0.700 (p<0.001, 95% CI 0.638 to 0.762) with a cut-off value of 5.12 mg/L. The AUC of albumin was 0.671 (p<0.001, 95% CI 0.606 to 0.736) with a cut-off value of 37.15 g/L. CONCLUSIONS NT-pro-BNP levels were higher in bedridden patients with stroke than in non-bedridden patients. Decreased albumin and elevated hs-CRP levels were associated with high levels of NT-pro-BNP in bedridden patients. Further studies are needed to explore the risk stratification and potential treatments for elevated NT-pro-BNP in bedridden patients with stroke.

Hemoglobin decline as a signal for hyperprolactinemia onset prior to prolactinoma diagnosis in hypogonadal men. Andrology 2023; 11:1398-1407. [PMID: 36897756 DOI: 10.1111/andr.13428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Men harboring prolactinomas frequently suffer from central hypogonadism with secondary anemia. They present insidious and nonspecific symptoms of hypogonadism, making it difficult to diagnose the disease and determine its duration. The result is a delay in diagnosis, which may have harmful hormonal and metabolic consequences. We hypothesized that a decrease in hemoglobin (HB) levels prior to prolactinoma diagnosis, may signal hyperprolactinemia onset and estimate disease duration. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the prediagnosis temporal trends in HB levels of 70 males with prolactinoma, diagnosed from January 2010 to July 2022. Men without hypogonadism, patients that received testosterone, and those with unrelated anemia were excluded. RESULTS Sixty-one of seventy men (87%) with prolactinoma presented with hypogonadism, and forty men (57%) had HB levels ≤13.5 g/dL at diagnosis. We identified 25 patients with "informative" HB curves (mean age, 46.1±14.9 years; median prolactin, 952 ng/mL; median follow-up, 14.0 years), demonstrating an obvious prediagnosis HB decrease (greater than 1.0 g/dL), from a prediagnosis baseline HB of 14.4 ± 0.3 to 12.9 ± 0.5 g/dL at diagnosis. The median "low-HB duration" (from the first low HB measurement to hyperprolactinemia diagnosis) was 6.1 years (IQR, 3.3-8.8 years). In symptomatic patients, we identified a correlation between "low-HB duration" and patient-reported sexual dysfunction duration (n = 17, R = 0.502, p = 0.04). The "low-HB duration" was significantly longer than the reported sexual dysfunction duration (7.0 ± 4.5 vs. 2.9 ± 2.5 years, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In our cohort of men with prolactinomas and hypogonadism, we found a marked decrease in HB levels that preceded prolactinoma diagnosis by a median of 6.1 years, with a mean delay of 4.1 years between HB decrease and hypogonadal symptoms appearance. These results suggest that HB decline prior to prolactinoma diagnosis may serve as a marker for hyperprolactinemia onset in a subset of hypogonadal men and allow a more accurate assessment of disease duration.

Global Prevalence of Anemia Among Type 2 Diabetic Adult Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2023; 16:2243-2254. [PMID: 37545742 PMCID: PMC10402722 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s421851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Anemia is a common and often overlooked hematological change observed in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, there is no global survey or health registry that estimates the pooled prevalence of anemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the global pooled prevalence of anemia among adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods This study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO with the reference number (CRD42022327135), and the link provided (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022327135) display the published methodology. Previously published articles were searched in PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, WHO Global Index Medicus, African Journals Online, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Google from October 26 to November 09, 2022. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool. Random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of anemia. The degree of heterogeneity among the included studies was assessed using I2 statistics. Publication bias was detected using funnel plot symmetry analysis supplemented by Egger's and Begg's tests. Results Twenty-four studies with a total number of 19,118 participants were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The overall pooled prevalence of anemia among type 2 diabetic adult patients was 27.0% (95% CI: 24.0, 31.0, I2 = 96.45%; P< 0.001). Geographical and time-based subgroup analysis showed that higher prevalence of anemia was observed in Africa region 28.0% (95% CI: 17.0, 39.0) and from 2015 to 2022, 28.0% (95% CI: 24.0, 33.0), respectively. Conclusion Anemia is a moderate public health problem among adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Nearly one in four patients with type 2 diabetes develops anemia. Therefore, considering the negative impact of anemia, it is important to include anemia screening in the routine assessment of diabetes-related complications.

Left atrioventricular interaction and impaired left atrial phasic function in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with or without anemia: a cardiac magnetic resonance study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:178. [PMID: 37443014 PMCID: PMC10347718 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01910-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and anemia are related to some cardiovascular diseases and can predict poor outcomes. Both of them can damage the heart in their own ways, but their combined effects have not been well explored. This study aimed to explore the combined effects of T2DM and anemia and the interaction between left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) function by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 177 T2DM patients without anemia, 68 T2DM patients with anemia and 73 sex-matched controls were retrospectively enrolled in this study from June 2015 to September 2022. Their LA phasic function and LV function parameters were compared to explore the combined effects of T2DM and anemia and the interaction between LA and LV function. Univariate and multivariate linear regression were done to explore the independent factors influencing LA phasic function and LV function. RESULTS Compared with controls and T2DM patients without anemia, T2DM patients with anemia were older and had higher heart rate, higher creatinine, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and lower hemoglobin (Hb) (all p < 0.05). LV global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS) significantly declined from T2DM patients with anemia to T2DM patients without anemia to controls (p < 0.001). LA volumetric function and strain were significantly impaired in T2DM patients with anemia compared with the other groups (all p < 0.05). In addition to age, eGFR, Hb and HbA1c, the LV GLPS was independently associated with all LA phasic strains (LA reservoir strain, β =0.465; LA conduit strain, β = 0.450; LA pump strain, β = 0.360, all p < 0.05). LA global conduit strain, total LA ejection fraction (LAEF) and active LAEF were independently associated with LV GLPS and LVEF. CONCLUSION Both LA and LV function were severely impaired in T2DM patients with anemia, and T2DM and anemia were independently associated with LA phasic function. Deleterious interaction between LA function and LV function would happen in T2DM patients with or without anemia. Timely and effective monitoring and management of both LA and LV function will benefit T2DM patients.

Abstract
AIMS Among adults with diabetes in the United States, we evaluated anemia prevalence by CKD status as well as the role of CKD and anemia, as potential risk factors for all-cause mortality. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, we included 6,718 adult participants with prevalent diabetes from the 2003-March 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative sample of the non-institutionalized civilian population in the United States. Cox regression models evaluated the role of anemia and CKD, alone or combined, as predictors of all-cause mortality. RESULTS Anemia prevalence among adults with diabetes and CKD was 20%. Having anemia or CKD alone, compared with having neither condition, was significantly associated with all-cause mortality (anemia: HR=2.10 [1.49-2.96], CKD: HR=2.24 [1.90-2.64]). Having both conditions conferred a greater potential risk (HR=3.41 [2.75-4.23]). CONCLUSIONS Approximately one-quarter of the adult US population with diabetes and CKD also has anemia. The presence of anemia, with or without CKD, is associated with a two- to threefold increased risk of death by compared with adults who have neither condition, suggesting that anemia may be a strong predictor of death among adults with diabetes.

Phase angle and extracellular water-to-total body water ratio estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis are associated with levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit in patients with diabetes. Heliyon 2023; 9:e14724. [PMID: 37057050 PMCID: PMC10089257 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e14724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Anemia is one of the common complications of diabetes and is associated with mortality. Phase angle (PhA), ratio of extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) have been used as prognostic indicators for various chronic diseases and frailty. We aimed to clarify the clinical significance of PhA, ECW/TBW and SMI for anemia in patients with diabetes. Materials and methods The values of PhA, ECW/TBW and SMI were estimated by a portable BIA device and blood samples were collected in 371 Japanese patients with diabetes. The relationships of PhA, ECW/TBW and SMI with hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (Hct) were statistically evaluated. Results In simple linear regression analysis, PhA and SMI were positively correlated with Hgb and Hct levels in total subjects, male subjects and female subjects. In contrast, ECW/TBW was negatively correlated with Hgb and Hct levels regardless of sex. Multivariate regression analysis showed that both PhA and ECW/TBW but not SMI independently contributed to Hgb and Hct levels after adjustment of clinical confounding factors in both males and females. Conclusions PhA and ECW/TBW but not SMI were associated with levels of Hgb and Hct in patients with diabetes. Therefore, aberrant values of PhA and ECW/TBW suggest a risk of anemia in diabetic patients.

Prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a referral diabetic clinic in the north of Iran. BMC Endocr Disord 2023; 23:58. [PMID: 36894956 PMCID: PMC9997001 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-023-01306-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND PURPOSE: This study intended to investigate the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Gorgan, Iran. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 415 (109 men) patients with T2DM referred to the referral diabetes clinic of Sayad Shirazi Hospital in Gorgan in 2021. Demographic information, anthropometric indices, past medical history, and some laboratory data on cell counts, serum blood glucose, HbA1c, creatinine, lipid/iron profiles, and urinary albumin were collected. The univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to compute odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for potential associated factors, using SPSS version 21. The multivariable Model was adjusted for obesity, Hb A1c, T2DM duration, using glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs), chronic kidney disease (CKD), albuminuria, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypercholesterolemia. RESULTS: The prevalence of anemia was 21.5% [95%CI: 17.6-25.7] among our total participants. The corresponding values for men and women were 20.2 (13.1-29.0) and 21.9 (17.4-27.0), respectively.The adjusted model revealed that obesity (OR, 1.94 [95% CI, 1.17-3.23]), T2DM duration for more than five years (OR, 3.12 [1.78-5.47]), albuminuria (OR, 6.37 [3.13-10.91]), chronic kidney disease (OR, 4.30 [ 2.83-7.29]) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR, 1.72 [ 1.21-2.77]) were significantly associated with prevalent anemia among patients with T2DM. Moreover, using insulin separately or in combination with oral GLDs associated positively with the prevalence of anemia with ORs of 2.60 [1.42-6.42] and 1.87 [1.30-4.37] , respectively. CONCLUSION Anemia had a high prevalence among patients with T2DM in the north of Iran (about 22%), which is associated with obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, duration of T2DM, and diabetic kidney disease.

The Effect of Hematocrit on All-Cause Mortality in Geriatric Patients with Hip Fractures: A Prospective Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12052010. [PMID: 36902799 PMCID: PMC10004393 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12052010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to evaluate the association between hematocrit (HCT) levels and all-cause mortality in geriatric hip fractures. METHODS Older adult patients with hip fractures were screened between January 2015 and September 2019. The demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients were collected. Linear and nonlinear multivariate Cox regression models were used to identify the association between HCT levels and mortality. Analyses were performed using EmpowerStats and the R software. RESULTS A total of 2589 patients were included in this study. The mean follow-up period was 38.94 months. Eight hundred and seventy-five (33.8%) patients died due to all-cause mortality. Linear multivariate Cox regression models showed that HCT level was associated with mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.96-0.99, p = 0.0002) after adjusting for confounding factors. However, the linear association was unstable and nonlinearity was identified. A HCT level of 28% was the inflection point for prediction. A HCT level of <28% was associated with mortality (HR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.87-0.95, p < 0.0001), whereas a HCT level > 28% was not a risk factor for mortality (HR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.97-1.01, p = 0.3792). We found that the nonlinear association was very stable in the propensity score-matching sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS The HCT level was nonlinearly associated with mortality in geriatric hip fracture patients and could be considered a predictor of mortality in these patients.

Anemia before in-hospital cardiac arrest and survival from cardio-pulmonary resuscitation-a retrospective cohort study. JOURNAL OF ANESTHESIA, ANALGESIA AND CRITICAL CARE (ONLINE) 2022; 2:51. [PMID: 37386534 DOI: 10.1186/s44158-022-00080-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple patient-related variables have been associated with reduced rates of survival to hospital discharge (SHD) after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). As opposed to most of these, anemia may be reversible. This retrospective single-center study aims to examine the relationship between prearrest hemoglobin levels, comorbidities, and survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among patients with non-traumatic IHCA. Patients were classified as anemic (hemoglobin < 10 g/dL) or non-anemic (hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL) based on their lowest hemoglobin measurement in the 48 h preceding the arrest. The primary outcome was SHD. The secondary outcome was return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). RESULTS Of 1515 CPR reports screened, 773 patients were included. Half of the patients (50.5%, 390) were classified as anemic. Anemic patients had higher Charlson Comorbidity Indices (CCIs), less cardiac causes, and more metabolic causes for the arrest. An inverse association was found between CCI and lowest hemoglobin. Overall, 9.1% (70 patients) achieved SHD and 49.5% (383) achieved ROSC. Similar rates of SHD (7.3 vs. 10.7%, p = 0.118) and ROSC (49.5 vs. 51.0%, p = 0.688) were observed in anemic and non-anemic patients. These findings remained consistent after adjustment for comorbidities, in sensitivity analyses on the independent variable (i.e., hemoglobin) and on potential confounders and in subgroups based on sex or blood transfusion in the 72 h preceding the arrest. CONCLUSIONS Prearrest hemoglobin levels lower than 10 g/dL were not associated with lower rates of SHD or ROSC in IHCA patients after controlling for comorbidities. Further studies are required to confirm our findings and to establish whether post-arrest hemoglobin levels reflect the severity of the inflammatory post-resuscitation processes.

Abstract
Background Diabetes has been proposed to inflict an insult on the hematopoietic milieu marked by changes in hematological indices including red blood cell parameters. Thus, this study aimed to assess the red blood cell parameters and their correlation with glycemic control in type 2 diabetic adult patients in comparison with apparently healthy individuals. Methods A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the chronic illness clinic of Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized University Hospital from May 20 to July 10, 2022. A total of 220 (110 type 2 diabetic patients and 110 controls) study participants were selected by a simple random sampling technique. Five milliliters of venous blood were collected by the vacutainer blood collection technique. Red blood cell parameters and blood glucose levels were determined using UniCel DxH 800 and Biosystems A25 analyzers, respectively. Independent sample t-test and Pearson correlation test were used for the data analysis. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Statistically significant difference was observed in RBC parameters of T2DM patients and the control group. The mean RBC count, Hgb, Hct (P < 0.001), and MCHC (P = 0.002) in patients with type 2 diabetes was significantly lower than in the control group. However, the mean of RDW was significantly increased in type 2 diabetic patient groups than in the control group (P < 0.001). The mean RBC count, Hct, and Hgb in patients with good glycemic control were significantly higher than the patients with poor glycemic control. Besides, a statistically significant negative correlation was observed between glycemic control and RBC count, Hgb, and Hct level in diabetic patients. Conclusion In this study, a statistically significant difference was observed in red blood cell parameters of type 2 diabetic patients compared to the control group. A significant negative correlation was noted between glycemic control and RBC parameters in type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore, evaluation of RBC parameters should be considered for better management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Erythrocytes undergo certain morphological changes resembling apoptosis during senescence or in an abnormal state/site, which is termed eryptosis. This process is characterized by phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure, membrane blebbing, and cell shrinkage. Eryptotic erythrocytes are subsequently removed via macrophage-mediated efferocytosis. In hemorrhagic stroke (HS), blood within an artery rapidly bleeds into the brain tissue or the subarachnoid space, resulting in severe neurological deficits. A hypoxic, over-oxidative, and pro-inflammatory microenvironment in the hematoma leads to oxidative stress, hyperosmotic shock, energy depletion, and Cl– removal in erythrocytes, which eventually triggers eryptosis. In addition, eryptosis following intracerebral hemorrhage favors hematoma clearance, which sheds light on a common mechanism of intrinsic phagocytosis. In this review, we summarized the canonical mechanisms of eryptosis and discussed its pathological conditions associated with HS. Understanding the role of eryptosis in HS may uncover additional potential interventions for further translational clinical research.

Abstract
Mortality in type 2 diabetes, is determined not only by classical complications, but also by comorbidities, and is linked to hyperglycaemia and apparent even in prediabetes. We aimed to comprehensively investigate, in a population-based cohort, health burden defined as the presence of comorbidities in addition to classical complications and cardiometabolic risk factors, in not only type 2 diabetes but also prediabetes. Such population-based study has not been performed previously. Extensive phenotyping was performed in 3,410 participants of the population-based Maastricht Study (15.0% prediabetes and 28.6% type 2 diabetes) to assess presence of 17 comorbidities, six classical complications, and ten cardiometabolic risk factors. These were added up into individual and combined sum scores and categorized. Group differences were studied with multinomial regression analyses adjusted for age and sex. Individuals with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, as compared to normal glucose metabolism (NGM), had greater comorbidities, classical complications, cardiometabolic risk factors and combined sum scores (comorbidities sum score ≥ 3: frequencies (95% CI) 61.5% (57.6;65.4) and 41.2% (36.5;45.9) vs. 25.4% (23.5;27.4), p-trend < 0.001; classical complications ≥ 2 (26.6% (23.1;30.1; P < 0.001 vs. NGM) and 10.1% (7.8;12.7; P = 0.065 vs NGM) vs. 8.0% (6.9;9.3)); cardiometabolic risk factors ≥ 6 (39.7% (35.9;43.4) and 28.5% (24.5;32.6) vs. 14.0% (12.5;15.6); p-trend < 0.001); combined ≥ 8 (66.6% (62.7;70.5) and 48.4% (43.7;53.1) vs. 26.0%(24.1;28.0), p-trend < 0.001). Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes health burden was comparable to respectively 32 and 14 years of ageing. Our population-based study shows, independently of age and sex, a considerable health burden in both type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, which to a substantial extent can be attributed to comorbidities in addition to classical complications and cardiometabolic risk factors. Our findings emphasize the necessity of comorbidities' awareness in (pre)diabetes and for determining the exact role of hyperglycaemia in the occurrence of comorbidities.

Hemoglobin level and osteoporosis in Chinese elders with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nutr Diabetes 2022; 12:19. [PMID: 35414128 PMCID: PMC9005625 DOI: 10.1038/s41387-022-00198-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Several studies demonstrated a positive relationship between hemoglobin level and bone mineral density (BMD). Thus, the association between hemoglobin concentration and osteoporosis in elders with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was explored in this study. Methods Totally, 573 elders with T2DM were included in the study. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Hemoglobin levels were tested. The association between the hemoglobin level and osteoporosis was subjected to logistic regression analysis. Results For men, the hemoglobin levels were significantly lower in osteoporosis group than that in non-osteoporosis group (135.98 ± 16.20 vs. 142.84 ± 13.78 g/L, P = 0.002). Hemoglobin levels were positively related with BMD of total hip and femoral neck in men (r = 0.170, P = 0.004; r = 0.148, P = 0.012, respectively). After adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH) D3], the hemoglobin level was related with a 0.97-fold lower risk of osteoporosis (odds ratio (OR): 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.95–0.99; P = 0.004) in men, but no such association was found in women. Conclusion Higher levels of hemoglobin play a protective role against osteoporosis in older men with T2DM.

Abstract
Human red blood cells (RBCs), senescent or damaged due to particular stress, can be removed by programmed suicidal death, a process called eryptosis. There are various molecular mechanisms underlying eryptosis. The most frequent is the increase in the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca2+ ions, later exposure of erythrocytes to oxidative stress, hyperosmotic shock, ceramide formation, stimulation of caspases, and energy depletion. Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposed by eryptotic RBCs due to interaction with endothelial CXC-Motiv-Chemokin-16/Scavenger-receptor, causes the RBCs to adhere to vascular wall with consequent damage to the microcirculation. Eryptosis can be triggered by various xenobiotics and endogenous molecules, such as high cholesterol levels. The possible diseases associated with eryptosis are various, including anemia, chronic kidney disease, liver failure, diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, thrombosis, obesity, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, and lupus. This review addresses and collates the existing ex vivo and animal studies on the inhibition of eryptosis by food-derived phytochemicals and natural compounds including phenolic compounds (PC), alkaloids, and other substances that could be a therapeutic and/or co-adjuvant option in eryptotic-driven disorders, especially if they are introduced through the diet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anaemia leads to poor health outcomes in older adults; however, most current research in China has focused on younger adults. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anaemia and its associated factors in older adults in an urban district in China. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING An urbanised region, Shenzhen, China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 121 981 participants aged ≥65 years were recruited at local community health service centres in Shenzhen from January to December 2018. PRIMARY OUTCOMES The prevalence of anaemia was analysed and potential associated factors were evaluated. RESULTS The mean haemoglobin level was 136.40±16.66 g/L and the prevalence of anaemia was 15.43%. The prevalences of mild, moderate and severe anaemia were 12.24%, 2.94% and 0.25%, respectively. Anaemia was positively associated with older age, being underweight (adjusted OR (AOR) 2.06, 95% CI 1.93 to 2.20), diabetes (AOR 1.23, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.28) and chronic kidney disease (AOR 1.41, 95% CI 1.36 to 1.46), and inversely with higher education level, current-smoker (AOR 0.84, 95% CI 0.78 to 0.89), non-habitual drinker (AOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.81 to 0.92), habitual drinker (AOR 0.81, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.87), overweight (AOR 0.67, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.70), obesity (AOR 0.57, 95% CI 0.53 to 0.61), central obesity (AOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.89), hypertension (AOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.83 to 0.89) and dyslipidaemia (AOR 0.81, 95% CI 0.78 to 0.84). CONCLUSION Anaemia is prevalent among people aged 65 years and older in China. Screening of high-risk populations and treatment of senile anaemia should be a top priority in Shenzhen, and should be listed as important public health intervention measures for implementation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anemia is a known complication of diabetes mellitus (DM); however, its prevalence and prognostic relevance in patients with DM and pre-DM with normal kidney function is not well-defined. This study assessed the prevalence of anemia in DM and pre-DM patients and evaluated its association with clinical outcomes during 4-years' follow-up. METHODS This retrospective analysis included patients with DM and pre-DM referred to the Meir Medical Center Endocrine Institute during 2015. Patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min or other recognized cause of anemia were excluded. The risk of developing microvascular or macrovascular complications, or death during four years follow-up was determined. RESULTS A total of 622 patients (408 with DM and 214 with pre-DM) were included. Mean age was 64±10.6 years, and 70% were women. Baseline HbA1c was 7.1±1.7% and eGFR was 86.1±15.3 ml/min. At inclusion 77 (19%) patients with DM and 23 (11%) with pre-DM, had anemia (hemoglobin 11.9±0.8 and 11.8±0.8 g/dl, respectively) vs. normal hemoglobin levels of 13.8±0.9 and 13.7±0.9 g/dl, respectively in the others. Multivariable analysis demonstrated an inverse correlation between baseline hemoglobin (as a continuous variable) and mortality (P=0.035), microvascular complications (P=0.003) and eGFR decline (P<0.001), but not with macrovascular complications (P=0.567). CONCLUSION This study found a significant prevalence of anemia unrelated to renal failure, both in DM and pre-DM. Anemia in these patients is associated with development of microvascular complications, eGFR decline and mortality. These results underscore the need for intensive lifestyle and pharmacological interventions among these patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Both anemia and osteoporosis are common in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the relationship between them remains to be determined. This study showed that anemia was related to osteoporosis in male and female T2DM patients. Diabetes patients with anemia should also be wary of osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION Anemia and osteoporosis are considered complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the relationship between anemia and osteoporosis in the T2DM population remains to be determined. Thus, we planned the present study to verify their relationship. METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed. The patients were divided into groups according to sex and hemoglobin levels (Q1: ≤ 120, Q2: 120 to ≤ 140, Q3: > 140 in men; Q1: ≤ 110, Q2: 110 to ≤ 130, Q3: > 130 in women). Clinical characteristics and bone mineral density (BMD) were compared. The relationship between anemia and osteoporosis was determined after adjusting for age, diabetic duration, body mass index, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, HbA1c, and fasting C-peptide. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0. RESULTS This study included 2336 patients (1150 men and 1186 postmenopausal women). The percentage of osteoporosis differed by hemoglobin status in both men (Q1: 20.2%, Q2: 15.5%, Q3: 12.4%, P = 0.031) and women (Q1: 51.4%, Q2: 38.0%, Q3: 34.5%, P < 0.001). Q1, with the lowest hemoglobin level, has higher percentage of osteoporosis in men (20.2%) and in women (51.4%). Hip BMD (men: r = 0.168, P < 0.001, women: r = 0.126, P < 0.001) and femur neck BMD (men: r = 0.150, P < 0.001, women: r = 0.134, P < 0.001) were correlated with hemoglobin levels in both sexes. The odds of osteoporosis increased 1.4-fold in men and 2.0-fold in women in the Q1 groups compared with Q3 groups. CONCLUSION Anemia was related to osteoporosis in T2DM patients regardless of sex. Diabetic patients with anemia (men with hemoglobin below 120 g/L and women with hemoglobin below 110 g/L) should also be wary of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a global public health problem and associated with metabolic, cellular, and blood disturbances. Hematological changes have been reported in diabetes and play a major role in diabetes-associated complications. However, reports are contradicting and data on hematological parameters of type 2 diabetic patients in the study area are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the hematological parameters of type 2 diabetic adult patients at Debre Berhan Referral Hospital, Northeast Ethiopia from May 01 to June 30, 2020. METHODS A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 268 (134 type 2 diabetic patients and 134 controls) study participants selected by systematic random sampling technique. Socio-demographic, behavioral, and clinical data were collected using a structured questionnaire and checklist. Ethical approval was obtained from Jimma University. All phase of quality assurance was maintained. Hematological parameters and blood glucose levels were determined using UniCel DxH 800 (Beckman Coulter, USA) and Biosystems A25 (Costa Brava, Spain) analyzers, respectively. Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, correlation, and logistic regression were used during data analysis. P-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS The current study found that total white blood cell count, absolute counts of neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, and basophil, red blood cell distribution width, platelet count, and mean platelet volume were significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients as compared to the control group (P<0.05). On the other hand, the mean hemoglobin was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic patients than the control group (P = 0.007). Anemia was found in 17.9% of type 2 diabetic patients. Longer duration of diabetes (AOR = 3.05, 95% CI = 1.12-8.34) and milk consumption (AOR = 4.60, 95% CI = 1.50-14.00) were significantly associated with anemia. CONCLUSION This study showed a statistically significant variation in some hematological parameters of type 2 diabetic patients compared to control group. Anemia among type 2 diabetic patients was found to be a mild public health problem. Therefore, routine screening of hematological parameters should be considered for proper management of type 2 diabetic patients. Close attention should also be given to the duration of diabetes and dietary practice.

Suicidal Erythrocyte Death in Metabolic Syndrome. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10020154. [PMID: 33494379 PMCID: PMC7911029 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10020154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Eryptosis is a coordinated, programmed cell death culminating with the disposal of cells without disruption of the cell membrane and the release of endocellular oxidative and pro-inflammatory milieu. While providing a convenient form of death for erythrocytes, dysregulated eryptosis may result in a series of detrimental and harmful pathological consequences highly related to the endothelial dysfunction (ED). Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is described as a cluster of cardiometabolic factors (hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension and obesity) that increases the risk of cardiovascular complications such as those related to diabetes and atherosclerosis. In the light of the crucial role exerted by the eryptotic process in the ED, the focus of the present review is to report and discuss the involvement of eryptosis within MetS, where vascular complications are utterly relevant. Current knowledge on the mechanisms leading to eryptosis in MetS-related conditions (hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension and obesity) will be analyzed. Moreover, clinical evidence supporting or proposing a role for eryptosis in the ED, associated to MetS cardiovascular complications, will be discussed.

A relationship between unrecognized anaemia and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patient with cardiovascular risks. Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 2020; 48:455-462. [PMID: 33340144 DOI: 10.1111/1440-1681.13440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Studies on anaemia in diabetic patients are well known. However, the data regarding association of anaemia on the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) are very limited. We aimed to evaluate the association of anaemia on the development of DM and major clinical outcomes in a series of the Korean population during 5-year clinical follow-up. The patients were retrospectively enrolled using the electronic database of Korea University Guro Hospital from January 2004 to February 2013. A total of 17 515 subjects without a history of DM were analysed. The World Health Organization definition of anaemia was used. Patients were divided into the anaemia group (n = 2907 patients) and the non-anaemia group (n = 14 608 patients). The primary endpoint was the development of DM. To adjust baseline potential confounders, a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed. After PSM analysis, two matched groups (2731 pairs) were generated and their baselines characteristics were balanced. During 5-year follow-up, the anaemia group had a higher incidence of type 2 DM (10.7% vs 7.7%; hazard ratio [HR], 1.356; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.021-1.802; P = .035), and total death (2.6% vs 1.2%; HR, 2.449; 95% CI, 1.337-4.486; P = .004) compared to the non-anaemia group. In the present study, anaemia was associated with higher rate of the development of DM and mortality during 5-year clinical follow-up. A randomized trial is needed to determine whether this results can be reproducible or not for the final conclusion.

The impact of coexisting diabetes mellitus on clinical outcomes in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy: a retrospective observational study. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:224. [PMID: 32532223 PMCID: PMC7291707 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-020-01878-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2019] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is frequently coexisted with diabetes mellitus (DM). Few researches investigate clinical outcomes in IMN patients coexisting diabetes mellitus (DM), including remission rates, renal survival and complications. Concurrent DM also pose therapeutic challenges to IMN patients due to the influence of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressant on metabolic disorders. We performed this study to investigate the impact of DM on clinical outcomes in IMN and the influence of therapeutic regime on metabolic parameters in diabetic IMN patients. METHODS Two hundred and six adult hospitalized patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven IMN were retrospectively studied, including 42 patients coexisted with DM. Clinical outcomes including remission rates, renal outcome and complications were compared between groups. Impact of cyclophosphamide and ciclosporin on metabolism and complications were analyzed in IMN patients coexisting DM. RESULTS IMN patients coexisted with DM were presented with advanced age, lower level of eGFR and hemoglobin. Patients coexisted with DM experienced worse renal function deterioration and higher incidence of infection. COX regression analysis showed that DM was an independent risk factor for renal function deterioration in IMN patients. There was no significant difference in remission rates and incidence of venous thromboembolism between two groups. Further exploration on the impact of therapeutic regimens on complications and metabolism showed that cyclophosphamide and ciclosporin had no significant difference in incidence of complications including infection and venous thromboembolism, and posed comparable influences on blood glucose, uric acid and blood lipids in IMN patients coexisted with DM. CONCLUSION Coexisting DM was an independent risk factor for renal function deterioration in IMN patients but did not influence the remission of proteinuria. Glucocorticoids in combination with cyclophosphamide or ciclosporine had similar impact on complications and metabolic index including blood glucose, uric acid and blood lipids in IMN patients coexisted with DM.

MorbiNet: multimorbidity networks in adult general population. Analysis of type 2 diabetes mellitus comorbidity. Sci Rep 2020; 10:2416. [PMID: 32051506 PMCID: PMC7016191 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-59336-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Multimorbidity has great impact on health care. We constructed multimorbidity networks in the general population, extracted subnets focused on common chronic conditions and analysed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comorbidity network. We used electronic records from 3,135,948 adult people in Catalonia, Spain (539,909 with T2DM), with at least 2 coexistent chronic conditions within the study period (2006-2017). We constructed networks from odds-ratio estimates adjusted by age and sex and considered connections with OR > 1.2 and p-value < 1e-5. Directed networks and trajectories were derived from temporal associations. Interactive networks are freely available in a website with the option to customize characteristics and subnets. The more connected conditions in T2DM undirected network were: complicated hypertension and atherosclerosis/peripheral vascular disease (degree: 32), cholecystitis/cholelithiasis, retinopathy and peripheral neuritis/neuropathy (degree: 31). T2DM has moderate number of connections and centrality but is associated with conditions with high scores in the multimorbidity network (neuropathy, anaemia and digestive diseases), and severe conditions with poor prognosis. The strongest associations from T2DM directed networks were to retinopathy (OR: 23.8), glomerulonephritis/nephrosis (OR: 3.4), peripheral neuritis/neuropathy (OR: 2.7) and pancreas cancer (OR: 2.4). Temporal associations showed the relevance of retinopathy in the progression to complicated hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease and organ failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients show a significant derangement in various hematological parameters including changes affecting the red blood cells (RBCs). All these derangements have an imposing effect on any of the RBC indices. Thus, the main aim of this study was determining the RBCs parameters and their correlation with renal function, and also the magnitude of anemia in DM patients in comparison with healthy controls. METHODS A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the chronic illness clinic of University of Gondar Hospital from January to April 2020. A total of 246 participants (164 DM and 82 controls) were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Five milliliters venous blood was collected by vacutainer blood collection technique. RBC parameters and renal function tests were determined by using Sysmex KX21N and BS-200E Mindray analyzers, respectively. The data were tested for normality using Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests. Independent sample t-test and Pearson's and Spearman correlation statistics were used to analyze variables. A p-value ˂0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS The mean hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration was 13.8±0.7 and 15±1.3 among DM and controls, respectively. RBC (p=0.014), Hgb (p ˂0.001), hematocrit (Hct) (p ˂0.001), and mean cell volume (MCV) (p ˂0.001) were significantly lower in DM patients as compared to controls. On the other hand, mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) was significantly increased in DM patients (p ˂0.001) than the controls. Besides, a significant negative correlation was found between Hgb and creatinine (Cr) in DM patients. CONCLUSION The mean values of RBC parameters (RBC, Hgb, Hct, and MCV) for DM patients were found significantly lower than the control groups. Besides a significant negative correlation was found between Cr and RBC indices (RBC, Hgb, Hct, and MCV) in DM patients. It is, therefore, suggested that RBC parameters abnormalities should be evaluated and treated periodically in DM patients for better prognosis and quality of life.

Abstract
Background Anemia is a common finding in patients with diabetes, even in the absence of kidney disease and is a risk factor for adverse outcomes, including all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Despite this, relatively little is known about the burden of anemia among adults with diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of anemia and its association with renal disease among diabetic adult outpatients attending a hospital in Northeast Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 412 diabetic adults at the diabetes clinic of Dessie Referral hospital in Northeast Ethiopia, from January to April 2018. Each patient provided a blood sample for hemoglobin and serum creatinine levels and urine for albuminuria. Anemia was defined by World Health Organization criteria (<13 g/dl for men and <12 g/dl for women). Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using the 4-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was classified into 5 stages based on the eGFR and albuminuria. Results Anemia was present in 26.7% of the participants, and CKD in 43.0%. Anemia was more prevalent in patients with CKD (39.5%) than those without CKD (17.0%; P < 0.001). The prevalence of anemia increased with stage of CKD, from 22.6% at stage 1 to 100% at stage 4. Fifteen percent of the patients had anemia below the treatment threshold of 11 g ⁄dl. In multivariate analysis, older age (AOR = 2.41, 95% CI 1.11–5.21); type 2 diabetes (AOR = 2.40, 95% CI 1.14–5.08); presence of hypertension (AOR = 3.78, 95% CI 1.35–10.57); high systolic BP (AOR = 1.05, 95% CI 1.02–1.08); serum creatinine (AOR = 12.80, 95% CI 3.90–87.98) and low GFR (AOR = 9.50, 95% CI 4.05–22.28) were independently associated with greater odds for the presence of anemia Conclusions Anemia is commonly present among diabetic adults attending our diabetes outpatient clinic in Northeast Ethiopia, including those without kidney disease. Our findings highlight the need for incorporating anemia screening into routine diabetes care to enable early detection and treatment of anemia and hence improve the overall care of patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Objective Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) refers to hypoproliferative anemia in the context of acute or chronic activation of the immune system. There is a paucity of prospective data addressing the risk factors for ACD development. An association between common chronic diseases and ACD was examined cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Method A cohort of 265,459 healthy participants without ACD at baseline were prospectively followed annually or biennially. Results During average follow-up period of 62 months, 4,906 participants developed ACD (incidence rate 3.58 per 1000 person-years). Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] for incident ACD comparing estimated glomerular filtration rate 30–60 and < 30 vs. ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 were 3.93 [3.18–4.85] and 39.11 [18.50–82.69]; HRs [95% CI] for ACD comparing prediabetes and diabetes vs. normal were 1.19 [1.12–1.27] and 2.46 [2.14–2.84], respectively. HRs [95% CI] for incident ACD comparing body-mass-index (BMI) of < 18.5, 23–24.9 and ≥ 25 vs. 18.5–22.9 kg/m2 were 0.89 [0.78–1.00], 0.89 [0.80–0.99] and 0.78 [0.66–0.91], respectively. HRs [95% CI] for incident ACD comparing prehypertension and hypertension vs. normal were 0.79 [0.73–0.86] and 1.10 [0.99–1.23], respectively. Metabolic syndrome, hypertension, chronic liver disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were not associated with incident ACD. Conclusions The severity of chronic kidney disease and diabetic status were independently associated with an increased incidence of ACD, whereas prehypertension and an increasing BMI were significantly associated with decreased risk of ACD.

Cross-sectional relationship between haemoglobin concentration and measures of physical and cognitive function in an older rural South African population. J Epidemiol Community Health 2018; 72:796-802.

Abstract
Background Age cohort differences in haemoglobin concentrations and associations with physical and cognitive performance among populations of lower income and middle-income countries have not previously been described. We examined the association between these factors among older men and women in rural South Africa. Methods We analysed cross-sectional data from a population-based study of rural South African men and women aged 40 and over (n=4499), with data drawn from questionnaire responses, a cognitive battery, objective physical function tests and blood tests. Anaemia was defined as a haemoglobin concentration <12 g/dL for women and <13 g/dL for men. We related haemoglobin concentrations to each of age, grip strength, walk speed and a latent cognitive function z-score for men and women separately. We used unadjusted correlations and linear models to adjust for comorbidities and inflammation. Results In total, 1042 (43.0%) women and 833 (40.1%) men were anaemic. Haemoglobin concentrations were inversely correlated with age for men but not for women; in adjusted analyses, haemoglobin was 0.3 g/dL lower per decade older for men (95% CI 0.2 to 0.4 g/dL). In adjusted analyses, haemoglobin concentration was independently associated with grip strength in women (B=0.391, 95% CI 0.177 to 0.605), but this did not reach significance in men (B=0.266, 95% CI −0.019 to 0.552); no associations were observed between haemoglobin levels and walk speed or cognitive score. Conclusions Anaemia was prevalent in this study population of middle-aged and older, rural South African adults, but in contrast to high-income countries, it was not associated with poor physical or cognitive function. Our findings need to be replicated in other populations.

Abstract
The purpose was to study the association between sleep duration and the prevalence of anemia in Chinese people. There were 84,791 participants (men: 79.1%; women: 20.9%) aged 18–98 years in the prospective study. We divided the participants into five categories based on the individual sleep duration: ≤5 h, 6 h, 7 h(reference), 8 h, and ≥9 h. Anemia was defined based on hemoglobin <12 g/dL for men and <11 g/dL for women. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association between sleep duration and anemia. During median follow-up of 7.9 years, 2698 cases of anemia had occurred. The HRand (95% CI) of anemia (7 h as the reference group) for individuals reporting ≤5 h, 6 h, 8 h, and ≥9 h were 1.23(1.04–1.45), 1.26(1.11–1.44), 1.04(0.92–1.16) and 1.42(1.08–1.86), respectively. It showed that there was a significant interaction on the risk of anemia between sleep duration and sex in the secondary analysis (p < 0.001).The significant association between long sleepduration and anemia was found in women (HR, 2.29; 95% CI, 1.56–3.37), not in men(HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.60–1.34). Both short and long night sleep duration were associated with increased risk of anemia.
