Regional differences in the incidence of diabetic cardiovascular events reflect the quality of care.

CONCLUSIONS: We found major and stable differences in the incidence of ACS and IS between the UHDs among patients with diabetes. The differences result from several factors influencing the risk of these complications, including the treatment. These differences tended to be larger than the corresponding differences in the total population, which suggests that there is potential to prevent CVCs by improving diabetes care.
