Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 06/22/09
Heit JA et al. – Diabetes mellitus and diabetes complications are not independent risk factors for incident venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Methods- Study of an independent association for diabetes with incident VTE
- Use of Rochester Epidemiology Project resources
- Identification of all Olmsted County, MN residents who met objective criteria for incident VTE over 25-yr period, 1976-2000 (n=1922), and 1-2 resident controls/case (n=2115)
- Controls matched on age, gender, and length of medical historyReview of complete medical histories in community for previously identified independent VTE risk factors and diabetes-related variables
- Test of diabetes and diabetes complications as potential VTE risk factors, both alone and after adjusting for VTE risk factors
- Diabetes complications studied: retinopathy, nephropathy or neuropathy, and ketoacidosis
- Diabetes defined by clinical diagnosis or by stricter criteria: fasting ambulatory blood glucose ≥140 mg/dL or antidiabetic drug therapy
- On univariate analysis, diabetes by clinical diagnosis or by stricter criteria and diabetes complications, were associated with overall incident VTE
- After controlling for hospitalization for major surgery or medical illness and nursing home confinement, diabetes was no longer associated with VTE
