Abstract
BACKGROUND: The JEVIN trial started as a cross-sectional study in 1989/90 in Jena. After a follow-up of more than 20 years, the mortality incidence of JEVIN participants with type 1 diabetes was surveyed. METHODS: 103 (78.6%) of the 131 JEVIN patients participating at baseline could be examined. 38 persons (36.9%) had deceased. All JEVIN survey data and routine examinations documented in the electronic patient record EMIL® of surviving and deceased participants were used for analyses. We compared the data of the surviving with the deceased participants (follow-up time: 2,166 person-years). RESULTS: The incidence rate of death was 1.75/100 person-years. Median observation time for all patients was 23.1 years (range 0.61-26.6 years). Mean age at death was 58.5 years (34.2-78.4 years), and diabetes duration 35 years (3.5-68.5 years). Most frequent causes of death were: cardiovascular diseases (48.2%, n=13) and infections (25.9%, n=7). There were no differences in age (p=0.302), diabetes duration (p=0.371), BMI (p=0.535), blood pressure (p=0.622/0.820), gender (p=0.566), and smoking status (p=0.709) between surviving and deceased persons. The mean HbA1c of the last year before death or last visit was higher in the deceased than surviving persons (7.5% vs. 7.0%; p=0.010). 57.4% of the surviving and 87.0% of the deceased participants had nephropathy (p=0.012), 79.7% vs. 89.7% retinopathy (p=0.241) and 61.4% vs. 63.3% neuropathy (p=0.860), but only nephropathy was significantly associated with increased mortality risk (HR=4.208, CI:1.226-14.440; HR=2.360, CI:0.696-8.004; HR=0.944, CI:0.436-2.043). CONCLUSIONS: In the JEVIN population with diabetes mellitus type 1 only, diabetic nephropathy was associated with higher mortality risk. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
