Diabetes affects approximately 12% of the U.S. adult population and 25% adults aged ≥65 years. From 2009 to 2017, there was no significant change in diabetes prevalence overall or among persons 65-79 years (1). However, these estimates were based on survey data with <5,000 older adults. Medicare administrative sets, which contain claims for millions adults, afford an opportunity explore both trends over time heterogeneity within population. Previous studies have shown that can be used...

Introduction Little is known about the role diabetes (type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D)) plays in modifying prognosis among kidney transplant recipients. Here, we compare mortality recipients with T1D, T2D non-diabetes-related end-stage disease (ESKD). Research design methods We included 254 188 first-time single aged ≥18 years from US Renal Data System (2000–2018). Diabetes status, as primary cause of ESKD, was defined using International Classification Disease 9th 10th Clinical Modification...
