MorbiNet: multimorbidity networks in adult general population. Analysis of type 2 diabetes mellitus comorbidity.

ABSTRACT: Multimorbidity has great impact on health care. We constructed multimorbidity networks in the general population, extracted subnets focused on common chronic conditions and analysed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comorbidity network. We used electronic records from 3,135,948 adult people in Catalonia, Spain (539,909 with T2DM), with at least 2 coexistent chronic conditions within the study period (2006-2017). We constructed networks from odds-ratio estimates adjusted by age and sex and considered connections with OR > 1.2 and p-value < 1e-5. Directed networks and trajectories were derived from temporal associations. Interactive networks are freely available in a website with the option to customize characteristics and subnets. The more connected conditions in T2DM undirected network were: complicated hypertension and atherosclerosis/peripheral vascular disease (degree: 32), cholecystitis/cholelithiasis, retinopathy and peripheral neuritis/neuropathy (degree: 31). T2DM has moderate number of connections and centrality but is associated with conditions with high scores in the multimorbidity network (neuropathy, anaemia and digestive diseases), and severe conditions with poor prognosis. The strongest associations from T2DM directed networks were to retinopathy (OR: 23.8), glomerulonephritis/nephrosis (OR: 3.4), peripheral neuritis/neuropathy (OR: 2.7) and pancreas cancer (OR: 2.4). Temporal associations showed the relevance of retinopathy in the progression to complicated hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease and organ failure.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) has a direct impact on the clinical manifestation and prognosis of active tuberculosis disease (TB) and is known to increase the chance of developing the condition. We sought to determine the prevalence of DM in adult Ugandan patients with recently diagnosed TB and the associated sociodemographic, anthropometric, and metabolic characteristics of TB-DM comorbidity.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study conducted at the adult TB treatment centres of three tertiary healthcare facilities in Uganda, we screened adult participants with recently diagnosed TB (diagnosed in < 2 months) for DM. All participants were screened with five tests; initially with a random blood glucose (RBG) test, and then later with fasting blood glucose (FBG), laboratory-based glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), point-of-care (POC) HbA1c, and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) if the RBG was ≥ 6.1 mmol/l. The WHO guidelines for diagnosing and managing DM were used to support the DM diagnosis. To identify the factors associated with DM-TB comorbidity, logistic regression was used.ResultsA total of 232 participants with recently diagnosed TB were screened for DM. Of these, 160 (69%) were female. The median (IQR) age, body mass index, and RBG of all study participants was 35 (27-42) years, 19.2 (17.6-21.3) kg/m2, and 6.1 (5.5-7.2) mmol/l, respectively. About half of the participants (n = 117, 50.4%) had RBG level ≥ 6.1 mmol/l. Of these, 75 (64.1%) participants returned for re-testing. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in 32 participants, corresponding to a prevalence of 13.8% (95% CI 9.9-18.9). A new diagnosis of DM was noted in 29 (90.6%) participants. On logistic regression, age ≥ 40 years was associated with increased odds of TB and DM comorbidity (AOR 3.12, 95% CI 1.35-7.23, p = 0.008) while HIV coinfection was protective (AOR 0.27, 95% CI 0.10-0.74, p = 0.01).ConclusionTB and DM comorbidity was relatively common in this study population. Routine screening for DM in adult Ugandan patients with recently diagnosed TB especially among those aged ≥ 40 years and HIV-negative patients should be encouraged in clinical practice.

Project description:Purpose-This study aimed to examine the association between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus.MethodsParticipants with natural teeth in one jaw from the Third United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994) were included in this analysis. Participants with moderate (> 4mm attachment loss in ≥ 2 mesial sites or 5mm pocket depth in ≥ 2 mesial sites) or severe (> 6mm attachment loss in ≥ 2 mesial sites and > 5mm pocket depth in ≥ 1 mesial site) periodontitis were classified as having periodontal disease. The rest of the participants were considered without periodontal disease. Diabetes mellitus was defined as fasting glucose ≥ 126mg/dL, hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5% or the use of antihyperglycemic medications. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus in all study population and subgroups stratified by demographics and comorbidities.ResultsThis analysis included 13,000 participants [mean age 43.8 ± 19.1 years, 47.5% male, 30% whites]. About 12.7% (n = 1,656) of the study population had periodontitis, and 9.2% (n = 1,200) had diabetes. In a multivariable-adjusted model, presence (vs. absence) of periodontitis was associated with 66% increased odds of diabetes (OR (95% CI):1.66 (1.43-1.94); p < 0.001). Compared to those without periodontitis, the odds of diabetes among those with severe periodontitis was much higher (OR (95% CI): 2.31(1.72-3.11); p < 0.001) than in those with moderate periodontitis (OR (95% CI): 1.54(1.30-1.82); p < 0.001).ConclusionsPeriodontitis is associated with prevalent diabetes in a dose-response fashion, suggesting a bidirectional relationship between those two diseases. Patients with periodontal disease should be counseled regarding their elevated risk of diabetes.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40200-022-01010-6.
