The effect of age on clinical outcomes and health status BARI 2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation in Type 2 Diabetes).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which effectiveness of cardiac and diabetes treatment strategies varies by patient age.

Background

The impact of age on the effectiveness of revascularization and hyperglycemia treatments has not been thoroughly investigated.

Methods

In the BARI 2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation in Type 2 Diabetes) trial, 2,368 patients with documented stable heart disease and type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive prompt revascularization versus initial medical therapy with deferred revascularization and insulin sensitization versus insulin provision for hyperglycemia treatment. Patients were followed for an average of 5.3 years. Cox regression and mixed models were used to investigate the ef
