Abstract
Macrovascular and microvascular complications that accompany Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) add to the burden among patients. The purpose of this systematic review is to conduct a comprehensive search of the medical literature investigating the prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) complications and assess their impact on healthcare costs, quality of life and mortality among patients with T2DM in the context of microvascular complications. A total of 76 studies and reports were used in this systematic review. Hypertension was the most prevalent complication among patients with T2DM. The additional cost burden due to CV complications was higher than any other complication except end-stage renal disease. Quality of life was much lower among patients with CV complications and T2DM, and mortality was higher than either illness alone.Entities:
