Clinical outcomes of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus in kidney transplantation recipients: a nationwide population-based cohort study in Korea

Abstract Posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is an important metabolic complication after KT that causes graft failure and cardiovascular complications in kidney transplantation (KT) recipients. Using the national claim data of South Korea, 7612 KT recipients between 2009 and 2017 were anal...

description Abstract Posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is an important metabolic complication after KT that causes graft failure and cardiovascular complications in kidney transplantation (KT) recipients. Using the national claim data of South Korea, 7612 KT recipients between 2009 and 2017 were analyzed. PTDM was defined as a consecutive 30-day prescription history of antidiabetic medication after KT. Among these patients, 24.7% were diagnosed with PTDM, and 51.9% were diagnosed within 6 months after KT. Compared to patients without PTDM, those with PTDM were older, more likely to be men, more likely to be diagnosed with hypertension and cardio-cerebrovascular disease, and experienced more rejection episodes requiring high-dose steroid treatment after KT. During the follow-up, 607 DCGFs, 230 DWGFs, 244 MACEs, and 260 all-cause mortality events occurred. Patients with PTDM showed a higher risk of DCGF (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22–1.82; P < 0.001) and MACEs (aHR 1.76; 95% CI 1.33–2.31; P < 0.001) than patients without PTDM. The risks for all clinical outcomes were higher in the insulin group than in the non-use insulin group. PTDM in KT recipients resulted in both worse allograft and patient outcomes represented by DCGF and MACE, especially in patients needing insulin treatment.
