FIGURE 1
Cardiovascular events throughout 7 years of follow-up in kidney transplant recipients who received early basal insulin therapy versus standard of care (left panel) and in the same cohort of patients, but sorted by normal glucose tolerance (NGT) versus by impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) plus diabetes during three oral glucose tolerance tests performed in the first post-operative year (right panel). Cardiovascular events: myocardial infarction, coronary angioplasty/artery bypass graft surgery, valve replacement, congestive heart failure, peripheral artery disease and stroke. Log-rank test for the basal insulin treatment versus standard-of-care control group: P = 0.84. Log-rank test for non-diabetic versus diabetic plus pre-diabetic patients: P = 0.155.
