Relative Prognostic Importance and Optimal Levels of Risk Factors for Mortality and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 1 Diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS: Glycated hemoglobin, albuminuria, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol appear the most important predictors for mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 1 diabetes. Lower levels for glycated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol than contemporary guideline target levels appear to be associated with significantly lower risk for outcomes.
