Association of type 2 diabetes with liver cirrhosis: a nationwide cohort study.
Oncotarget 2017 October 7
Background: The link between the subcategories of liver cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes is not well known. We investigated the association of type 2 diabetes mellitus with alcoholic cirrhosis and cirrhosis without alcohol.
Methods: This nationwide cohort study used the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Cirrhotic individuals and their matched controls were identified from 2001-2008. In all, 9 313 cirrhotic patients aged 20 years or older were matched by age, sex, and index date with the non-cirrhotic individuals (n = 37 252). Cirrhosis was categorized into alcoholic cirrhosis and cirrhosis without alcohol. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was identified from January 2001- December 2011.
Results: The incidence densities (per 1 000 person-months) of type 2 diabetes were as follows: 1.14 (95% CI: 1.09-1.20) in the non-cirrhotic group, 1.88 (CI 1.76-2.01) in patients with cirrhosis, 1.62 (CI 1.48-1.78) in patients with cirrhosis without alcohol, and 2.92 (CI 2.64-3.23) in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. The adjusted hazards ratio (aHR) for type 2 diabetes mellitus among cirrhotic individuals was 0.774 (CI: 0.715-0.8934). Alcoholic cirrhotic men had a significantly higher risk of type 2 diabetes (aHR 1.182, CI: 1.046-1.335) compared with non-cirrhotic individuals. Increased risks were seen in men (aHR 1.690; CI: 1.455-1.963) and women (aHR 1.715; CI: 1.113-2.645) with alcoholic cirrhosis compared to those with cirrhosis without alcohol.
Conclusions: This study indicates that alcoholic cirrhosis is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with cirrhosis without alcohol.
