Post-tuberculosis incidence of diabetes, myocardial infarction, and stroke: Retrospective cohort analysis of patients formerly treated for tuberculosis in Taiwan, 2002 - 2013
International Journal of Infectious Diseases May 16, 2019
Salindri AD, et al. - Among patients treated previously for tuberculosis (TB), researchers assessed the incidence of and determinative factors for diabetes (DM), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and stroke. Participants were 157,444 non-pediatric TB patients registered in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) from 2002–2013. In these patients, the incidence rate of DM was 3.85, for AMI it was 3.26, and for stroke it was 16.08 per 1,000 person-years, and these were higher vs national estimates. Predictive factors for these were chronic non-communicable disease risk factors like dyslipidemia, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease.
