PG - 15384 LID - 10.1038/s41598-020-72341-8 [doi] LID - 15384 AB - Only a few reports have examined vascular endothelial function before and after educational hospitalization and the factors that affect it in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study was to assess vascular endothelial function before and after educational hospitalization and identify factors that affect it. In 65 patients with T2DM who underwent peripheral arterial tonometry (EndoPAT) before and after hospitalization, vascular endothelial function (reactive hyperemia index [RHI]), glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and blood pressure were assessed before and after hospitalization. The primary endpoint was hospitalization-induced changes in vascular endothelial function. Educational hospitalization significantly improved the natural logarithmically scaled RHI (L_RHI) from 0.555 +/- 0.212 to 0.625 +/- 0.245 (p = 0.012). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified hypoglycemia during hospitalization as the single factor that significantly altered vascular endothelial function (p = 0.019). The odds of achieving normal vascular endothelial function were 0.08 times lower (95% confidence interval, 0.01-0.67) for each episode of hypoglycemia. Furthermore, multivariable analysis identified hypoglycemia during hospitalization as the single factor that worsened L_RHI. Our study showed that educational hospitalization of patients with T2DM improved vascular endothelial function, and that the development of hypoglycemic episodes had a significant negative impact on normalization of vascular endothelial function.
