Abstract

Background: Glucose is one of the constituents in hemodialysates and peritoneal dialysates. How the dialysis associates with the incident diabetes mellitus (DM) remains to be assessed.

Methods: The claim data of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who initiated dialysis from and a cohort of matched non-dialysis individuals from 2000 to 2013 were retrieved from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database to examine the risk of incident DM among patients on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Predictors of incident DM were determined for HD and PD patients using Fine and Gray models to treat death as a competing event, respectively.

Results: A total of 2228 patients on dialysis (2092 HD and 136 PD) and 8912 non-dialysis individuals were the study population. The PD and HD patients had 12 and 97 new-onset of DM (incidence rates of 15.98 and 8.69 per 1000 patient-years, respectively), while the comparison cohort had 869 DM events with the incidence rate of 15.88 per 1000 patient-years. The multivariable-adjusted Cox models of Fine and Gray method showed that the dialysis cohort was associated with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 0.49 (95% CI 0.39⁻0.61, p value < 0.0001) for incident DM compared with the comparison cohort. The adjusted HR of incident DM was 0.46 (95% CI 0.37⁻0.58, p value < 0.0001) for HD and 0.84 (95% CI 0.47⁻1.51, p value = 0.56) for PD.

Conclusions: ESRD patients were associated with a lower risk of incident DM. HD was associated with a lower risk of incident DM, whereas PD was not.
