Abstract

Data on complications in patients with diabetes from Indian metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities are unavailable. Hence, macro- and microvascular complications during the first year of LANDMARC, a 3-year nationwide prospective observational study (CTRI/2017/05/008452), were evaluated in patients from metropolitan versus non-metropolitan cities. LANDMARC included patients with T2D who were on ≥2 antihyperglycemic medications. Of the total 6236 patients, 2378 and 3858 were from metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities, respectively. Age, T2D duration, and baseline A1C were similar across groups (Table). At 1-year, microvascular complications were significantly higher in those from non-metropolitan than metropolitan cities (19.08% vs. 10.89%; P<0.0001) (Table). Neuropathy was the most common microvascular complication reported in both the groups. Among macrovascular complications reported, acute coronary syndrome and heart failure were the most common and were significantly higher in participants from non-metropolitan cities (Table). The present, first-of-its-kind, data from India demonstrates that patients from non-metropolitan cities may have higher complications, particularly microvascular. The LANDMARC results elicit patterns of disease progression among patients with T2D.View largeDownload slideView largeDownload slide DisclosureS.
