Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the underlying causes of death of the in - patients with type 2 diabetes in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Methods A cohort of 247 known dead in - patients with type 2 diabetes(132 men and 115 women) was identified from 1991 ～ 2003 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Underlying causes of death were obtained from death certificates and were coded according to the International Classifecation of Diseases (ninth revision). Results In our study, carduvascular disease was the most com-mon underlying cause of death and 110 death cases were attributable to it, and 64 to neoplasms,36 to respiratory disease, 14 to digestive disease, 10 to diabetes - related diseases, 1 to traffic accident cause, 13 to other natural causes. Conclusion This study confirms the im-portance of carduvascular disease as the major cause of death in people with type 2 diabetes. The evidence of an early effect on mortality suggests that prevention , early diagnosis, and treatment should be improved.
