Abstract

Previous studies on the risk and prevalence of diabetes among spinal cord injury (SCI) patients are limited and controversial. To compare the risk and incidence rate (IR) of Type 2 diabetes in SCI and non-SCI patients. This is a population-based retrospective cohort study. Data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database for the period 1997 to 2010 were analyzed. Patients aged 20 years and older newly identified with SCIs during this period were included in the SCI cohort. A non-SCI comparison cohort was randomly selected from National Health Insurance beneficiaries and matched with the SCI cohort based on age, sex, and index date. Both cohorts were followed until the first of the following occurred: the diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes 250), withdrawal from the insurance system, the end of 2010, or death. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to estimate the risk of developing diabetes. Taiwan possesses an older SCI population, with a mean age of 51.6 years. The IR for diabetes in patients with and without SCIs was 22.1 per 10,000 person-years and 17.2 per 10,000 person-years, respectively. The adjusted hazard rati...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

CV Disorders & Type 2 Diabetes

This feed focuses on the association of cardiovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes.
