Blood oxygen saturation is lower in persons with pre-diabetes and screen-detected diabetes compared with non-diabetic individuals: A population-based study of the Lolland-Falster Health Study cohort.


ABSTRACT:

Aims

Low blood oxygen saturation is associated with increased mortality and persons with diabetes have sub-clinical hypoxemia. We aimed to confirm the presence of sub-clinical hypoxemia in pre-diabetes, screen-detected diabetes and known diabetes.

Methods

Pre-diabetes was defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) ≥ 42 mmol/mol and <48 mmol/mol; known diabetes as history or treatment of diabetes; screen-detected diabetes as no history or treatment of diabetes and HbA1C ≥ 48 mmol/mol. Blood oxygen saturation was measured with pulse oximetry. Urine albumin-to creatinine ratio (UACR) was measured on a single spot urine.

Results

The study included 829 adults (≥18 years) with diabetes (713 (86%) with known diabetes; 116 (14%) with screen-detected diabetes) and 12,747 without diabetes (11,981 (94%) healthy controls; 766 (6%) with pre-diabetes). Mean (95% CI) blood oxygen saturation was 96.3% (96.3% to 96.4%) in diabetes which was lower than in non-diabetes [97.3% (97.2-97.3%)] after adjustment for age, gender, and smoking (p < 0.001), but significance was lost after adjustment for BMI (p = 0.25). Sub-groups with pre-diabetes and screen-detected diabetes had lower blood oxygen saturations than healthy controls (p-values < 0.01). Lower blood oxygen saturation was associated with higher UACR.

Conclusions

Persons with pre-diabetes and screen-detected diabetes have sub-clinical hypoxemia, which is associated with albuminuria.
