Abstract

Objective: This is to evaluate risk factors associated with new onset type 2 diabetes mellitus and incidence of new onset type 2 diabetes mellitus in HIV clinic, including diabetic control and diabetic complication in this population.

Methods: A single center, retrospective case control study was conducted in HIV clinic Ratchaburi Hospital. A total of 75 HIV-infected patients with new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected as cases and compared with 75 consecutively patients without diabetes mellitus as controls. Data were collected from hospital electronic database from January 2009 to August 2019.

Results: During the study period, there were 1,023 patients in HIV-clinic and 91 HIV-infected patients were newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. Incidence rate was 6.6 per 1,000 person-years of follow-up time. Median age was 50 years, 53.3% were male. From multivariate model, age (adjusted OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.04–1.18, p = .002), BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (adjusted OR 4.10, 95% CI 1.44–11.63, p = .008), statin exposure (adjusted OR 3.42, 95% CI 1.29–9.10, p = .014), initial FBG 100–125 mg/dL (adjusted OR 5.23, 95% CI 1.81–15.06, p = .002), and initial CD4 cell count > 250/mm3 (adjusted OR 3.73, 95% CI 1.16–12.03, p = .027) were significantly associated with new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, emtricitabine (FTC) exposure was associated with reduced risk of new onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR 0.023, 95% CI 0.08–0.65, p = .006).

Conclusions: There are multiple factors associated with new onset type 2 diabetes mellitus in HIV-infected patients including age, obesity, initial impaired fasting glucose, initial CD4 > 250 /mm3, and statin exposure. Interestingly, emtricitabine exposure is a protective factor in this population.
