Why the study?
Does Type 2 diabetes mellitus increase heart failure hospitalization burden in adult patients with heart failure?
Population
137,785 adult patients hospitalized with heart failure from a nationwide EHR database.
Comparison
Presence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) vs Absence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
19 years (database coverage)
Key result
Type 2 diabetes mellitus in heart failure patients was associated with a higher mean HF hospitalization count compared to those without diabetes (2.81 vs. 2.42, p<0.001).

May warrant enhanced HF surveillance in diabetes; leaves open whether glycemic optimization reduces recurrent hospitalizations.

Does Type 2 diabetes mellitus increase heart failure hospitalization burden in adult patients with heart failure?
Absolute Event Rate: 2.81% vs 2.42%
p-value: p=<0.001
Type 2 diabetes is associated with a higher burden of heart failure hospitalizations, longer hospital stays, and earlier onset of hospitalization, particularly in patients with diastolic heart failure.
Shay et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=137,785). Type 2 diabetes mellitus vs. Without type 2 diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Heart failure hospitalization count (p=<0.001). Type 2 diabetes mellitus in heart failure patients was associated with a higher mean HF hospitalization count compared to those without diabetes (2.81 vs. 2.42, p<0.001).
