Cardiorenal risk stratification in high-risk type 2 diabetes using a simple clinical score: findings from the ELIXA trial

Share

  • 1

    A multivariable risk score was developed to predict diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in high-risk type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.

  • 2

    The risk score incorporates nine clinical indicators, including age, BMI, and UACR, to stratify patients into risk groups.

  • 3

    Higher-risk groups exhibited significantly increased DKD incidence and progression compared to lower-risk groups during follow-up.

  • 4

    The combined high/very high-risk group showed greater risks of major adverse cardiovascular events and heart failure.

  • 5

    This risk score can guide targeted interventions for early identification and management of cardiorenal risk in T2D patients.
