Diabetes Care: Flu vaccination linked to reduced cardiovascular mortality in adults with diabetes

!---- influenza infections are associated with an increased risk of anotist thrombosis events, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and strokelittle is known about the relationship between influenza vaccination and cardiovascular outcomes in diabeticpatients, researchers used national lying data to identify people with diabetes in Denmark during the nine flu seasons between 2007 and 2016, according to a study published in diabetes journal Diabetes Carediabetes is defined as the use of anti-sugar drugspatients between the ages of 18 and 100 or with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer or cerebrovascular disease are excludedassess the patient's flu vaccination status before each flu seasonthe researchers considered all causes of death, cardiovascular death, and AMI or stroke-induced deathmonitored patients for each season, from 1 December to 1 April of the following yearthe researchers monitored a total of 241,551 patients, with an average of four seasons (two to eight seasons in four quarters) and a total of 425,318 follow-up son-in-chief s4The seasonal vaccine coverage for thestudy period was between 24 and 36 per centduring the follow-up period, a total of 8,207 patients died (3.4 per cent), 4127 (1.7 per cent) and 1,439 died from AMI/stroke (0.6 per cent)adjusted for confounding, vaccination and reduced risk of all-cause death (risk ratio of 0.83, P.lt;0.001), cardiovascular death (HR 0.84, P-lt;0.001), AMI or stroke death (HR is 0.85, P-0.028) and reduces the risk of hospitalization for acute complications due to diabetes (diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia or coma) (HR 0.89, P-0.006)in people with diabetes, flu vaccination can reduce the risk of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and AMI or stroke deathflu vaccination can improve the prognosis of people with diabetes
