Comparing the Clinical Outcomes Between Insulin-treated and Non-insulin-treated Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract: Several studies have shown coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) to be beneficial in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and multivessel coronary artery diseases. Patients with insulin-treated T2DM (ITDM) are usually patients with poor glycemic control and are expected to suffer more complications compared with patients with non-insulin-treated T2DM (NITDM). However, the adverse clinical outcomes in patients with ITDM and NITDM after CABG are still not very clear. Hence, to solve this issue, we aim to compare the short-and long-term adverse clinical outcomes in a larger number of patients with ITDM and NITDM after CABG, respectively. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing the adverse clinical outcomes such as mortality, major adverse events (MAEs), stroke, myocardial infarction, and repeated revascularization in patients with ITDM and NITDM after CABG have been searched from Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, and PubMed databases. A short-term follow-up (≤30 days) and a long-term follow-up (≥1 year) were considered. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to express the pooled effect on discontinuous variables and the pooled analyses were performed with RevMan 5.3. Eleven studies involving a total of 64,152 patients with T2DM (23,781 patients with ITDM and 40,371 patients with NITDM) have been included in this meta-analysis. During the short-term follow-up period, patients with ITDM had a significantly higher mort...
