Impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus on the long-term mortality in patients who were treated by coronary artery bypass surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Recent scientific reports have mainly focused on the comparison between coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on mortality in patients who were treated by CABG was often ignored. Therefore, we aimed to compare the long-term mortality following CABG in patients with and without T2DM. Methods: Studies comparing the long-term adverse outcomes following CABG in patients with and without T2DM were searched from electronic databases. Total number of deaths (primary outcome) and events of myocardial infarction (MI), major a...

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 ...
