PG - 108236 LID - S1056-8727(22)00142-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2022.108236 [doi] AB - AIMS: The purpose of this research was to explore the association of TEG parameters (Reaction time, R; Clot kinetics, K; Alpha angle, alpha-angle; Maximum amplitude, MA) with vascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and assess whether TEG parameters could predict T2DM patients with vascular complications. METHODS: A total of 68 healthy controls (HC), 57 T2DM patients without vascular complications (NC), 18 T2DM patients with only microvascular complications (MIC), 196 T2DM patients with only macrovascular complications (MAC), and 94 T2DM patients with both microvascular and macrovascular complications (MIC+MAC) were recruited in this study. Participants' clinical information and TEG parameters were recorded. TEG parameters were analyzed by the Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test, assuming the vascular complication was progressing from HC --> NC --> MIC --> MIC+MAC or HC --> NC --> MAC --> MIC+MAC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was performed to explore the diagnostic accuracy of TEG parameters in T2DM with vascular complications. RESULTS: Shorter TEGK, higher TEG-alpha-angle, and higher TEG-MA were found in T2DM patients with both microvascular and macrovascular complications (MIC+MAC) group compared with healthy controls (HC) group and T2DM patients without vascular complications (NC) group (P < 0.05). Trend analysis showed that TEG-R/K decreased, but TEG-alpha-angle/MA increased gradually as the vascular complication progressed (P < 0.001). With stratification of urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), diabetic nephropathy with macroalbuminuria (grade A3) behaves shorter TEGK, higher TEG-alpha-angle/MA compared with normal to mildly increased albuminuria (grade A1) and microalbuminuria (grade A2) (P < 0.05). ROC curves implied that TEGK, TEG-alpha-angle, and TEG-MA have moderate diagnostic values in T2DM without vascular complications (K-AUC: 0.780, alpha-angle-AUC: 0.773, and MA-AUC: 0.740) as well as T2DM with both microvascular and macrovascular complications (K-AUC: 0.778, alpha-angle-AUC: 0.757, and MA-AUC: 0.800). CONCLUSION: TEG parameters are associated with the progression of vascular complications in T2DM, and it could be a diagnostic indicator for T2DM without vascular complications or with advanced vascular complications.
