Description
Diabetes might not worsen the odds after emergency surgery for a torn aorta, and a 2024 study by Hamza Chaudhry and co-authors checks a national database for the answer. Earlier work hinted that type 2 diabetes somehow protects the aorta from swelling, and the team asked whether that shield extends to tears.
Records covered 7,324 patients who had open repair of an acute type A dissection between 2016 and 2019 in the United States. About thirteen percent had diabetes, and they were older with more risk factors. Death in hospital was 15.2 percent with diabetes and 14.6 percent without, a gap that vanished after adjustment. Short-term readmission deaths told the same story.
