Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for peripheral artery disease. The association of DM with major adverse limb events (MALE) after lower extremity revascularization remains controversial, as patients with diabetes are typically analyzed as a single, homogenous group. Using a large national database, this study examines the impact of insulin use and glycemic control on the outcomes following infrainguinal bypass. The hypothesis is that prevalent insulin therapy and elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are associated with an increased risk of MALEs after infrainguinal bypass in patients with DM and could therefore be used for risk stratification.
Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative database files for infrainguinal bypass (2007-2021) were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with DM undergoing bypass for peripheral artery disease were included. Patients on dialysis or with prior kidney transplantation were excluded. The characteristics and outcomes of patients with insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus (IRDM) were compared to those of patients not requiring insulin (noninsulin-requiring diabetes mellitus [NIRDM]) prior to the bypass procedure.
Results: A total of 9,686 patients with DM (56% IRDM) underwent bypass. Patients with IRDM were significantly younger than patients with NIRDM, more likely to be female (P < 0.01), African American (P < 0.01), and Hispanic (P = 0.031), and more likely to have comorbidities and be categorized into American Society of Anesthesiologist classes IV-V. They were more likely to be treated for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (P < 0.001). Patients with IRDM had significantly higher perioperative complications with no difference in perioperative mortality between the 2 groups. Beyond the perioperative period, with a mean follow-up of 427 days, patients with IRDM had significantly lower crude rates of primary patency and higher crude rates of major amputation, MALE, and mortality compared to patients with NIRDM. Regression analyses demonstrated that insulin requirement, but not HbA1c, was independently associated with a higher risk of MALE (hazard ratio = 1.17 [1.06-1.29]) and mortality (hazard ratio = 1.28 [1.16-1.43]).
Conclusions: Insulin requirement, but not HbA1c, is significantly associated with MALEs and survival after infrainguinal bypass in the Vascular Quality Initiative. Stratification of patients with DM based on their prevalent insulin use prior to infrainguinal bypass surgery could improve the prediction of outcomes of peripheral arterial bypass surgery in patients with diabetes.
