Mortality in Type 1 Diabetes in the DCCT/EDIC Versus the General Population
Information type: Other primary research
Source: Diabetes Care
Specialities: Diabetes
Summary
Compared to general US population, overall mortality in the DCCT intensive therapy cohort was non-significantly lower, but was significantly higher in the DCCT conventional therapy group. Mortality increased significantly with increasing mean HbA1c.
UKMi comment
The DCCT (1983–1993) compared intensive versus conventional therapy, with HbA1c levels ∼7 vs. 9%, respectively, over an average of 6.5 years of treatment. EDIC is the observational follow-up study of the DCCT (1994 to the present).
