Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a common comorbidity and is associated with a worse prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Recently, an approach based on treatable traits has been proposed to manage chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. Despite the evidence on the physiopathological relationship between diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, data on diabetes as a treatable
trait for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is still scarce.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients evaluated in the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Occurrence of diabetes mellitus, glycemic control and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease outcomes were assessed.
Results: Two hundred seventy-nine chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients were enrolled. Most patients were male (76.3%). The mean age was 71.1 ± 9.5 years. Diabetes prevalence was 30.8%. Most diabetic patients (54.7%) presented glycemic control under target (HbA1c < 7%). Median HbA1c was 6.7% [1.0]. There was no statistically significant difference in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease stage, acute exacerbation risk, length of hospital stays, and mortality between diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
Conclusion: Diabetes prevalence and incidence in
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients were higher in comparison to the general population. Good glycemic control was achieved in most diabetic patients. In this population,
diabetes was not associated with worse outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Diabetes should be considered as a treatable trait of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and glycemic control should be a therapeutical target among these patients. Internal Medicine consultation has an important role in the integrative approach chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients benefit from.
