PG - 11720 LID - 10.1038/s41598-022-15827-x [doi] LID - 11720 AB - To investigate the impact of chronic hepatitis on cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This nationwide retrospective cohort study included 152,709 adult patients (> 20 years) with T2DM enrolled in the National Health Insurance Diabetes Pay-for-Performance Program from 2008 to 2010 and followed up until the end of 2017. Patients were categorized into groups with hepatitis B, hepatitis C, fatty liver disease, and patients without chronic hepatitis. The incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with T2DM and hepatitis C (79.9/1000 person-years) was higher than that in patients with diabetes combined with other chronic hepatitis, or without chronic hepatitis. After adjusting for confounding factors, T2DM with fatty liver (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-1.13) and hepatitis C (adjusted HR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.03-1.12) demonstrated a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular events. The adjusted visit-to-visit coefficient of variation of HbA1c and fasting blood glucose were associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events (HRs of the highest quartile were 1.05 and 1.12, respectively). Chronic hepatitis affects cardiovascular events in adult patients with T2DM. Glucose variability could be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events in such patients. CI - (c) 2022.
