Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major global public health problem and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among patients with T2DM. The coexistence of two or more cardiovascular diseases, known as cardiovascular multimorbidity, may further increase the risk of mortality due to greater disease burden. However, evidence regarding the impact of cardiovascular multimorbidity on mortality among patients with T2DM in Indonesia remains limited.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cardiovascular multimorbidity on mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to identify the most common cardiovascular comorbidities contributing to mortality.
Method: This retrospective cohort study analyzed hospital visit data obtained from the Big Data AHS Universitas Gadjah Mada. Adult patients (?18 years) with T2DM who were admitted to RSUP Dr. Sardjito and RSA UGM between 2017 and 2019 were included and followed for two years. Cardiovascular multimorbidity was defined as the presence of two or more cardiovascular comorbidities. Descriptive analysis, bivariate analysis, and multivariable logistic regression were used to assess the association between cardiovascular multimorbidity and mortality.
Results: A total of 13,267 patients were included, and cardiovascular multimorbidity was present in 548 patients (4.1%). Mortality was higher among patients with cardiovascular multimorbidity compared with those without. Cardiovascular multimorbidity was significantly associated with mortality (OR 2.33; 95% CI 1.82– 2.97) after adjustment for age, sex, and socioeconomic status. Acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and atrial fibrillation were the strongest predictors of mortality.
Conclusion: Cardiovascular multimorbidity is associated with increased mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
