Association Between Long-Term Visit-to-Visit Hemoglobin A1c and Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes: The ACCORD Trial
Background: To explore the association between visit-to-visit variability of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and cardiovascular outcomes in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) of the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study.Methods: We conducted a post-hoc analysis...

Visit-to-visit variability of HbA1c was defined as the individual SD, coefficient of variation (CV), and variability independent of the mean (VIM) across HbA1c measurements. The clinical measurements included primary outcome [the first occurrence of non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke or cardiovascular death], total mortality, cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI event, non-fatal stroke, total stroke, heart failure, macrovascular events, and major coronary events (CHD).Results: Over a median follow-up of 4.85 years, 594 and 268 participants experienced all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, respectively. After adjusting for baseline HbA1c levels and confounding factors, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) comparing patients in the highest vs. the lowest quartile CV of HbA1c variability was 1.61 (95% CI 1.29–2.00) for the primary outcome. Similar trends for secondary outcome were also observed. There was no association between HbA1c fluctuation and non-fatal stroke. Noticeably, there was 66% greater risk for the all-cause mortality among patients in the highest vs. the lowest quartile (HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.27–2.17).Conclusions: Greater variability of HbA1c is associated with higher risk for cardiovascular complications and all-cause death in T2DM.
