The prognosis of diabetic men with advanced prostate cancer is poorly understood and understudied. Hence, we studied associations between diabetes and progression to metastases, prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) and all-cause mortality (ACM) in men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC).
Data from men diagnosed with nmCRPC between 2000 and 2017 at 8 Veterans Affairs Health Care Centers were analyzed using Cox regression to determine HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for associations between diabetes and outcomes. Men with diabetes were classified according to: (i) ICD-9/10 codes only, (ii) two HbA1c values > 6.4% (missing ICD-9/10 codes), and (iii) all diabetic men [(i) and (ii) combined].
Of 976 men (median age: 76 years), 304 (31%) had diabetes at nmCRPC diagnosis, of whom 51% had ICD-9/10 codes. During a median follow-up of 6.5 years, 613 men were diagnosed with metastases, and 482 PCSM and 741 ACM events occurred. In multivariable-adjusted models, ICD-9/10 code-identified diabetes was inversely associated with PCSM (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.48-0.92) while diabetes identified by high HbA1c values (no ICD-9/10 codes) was associated with an increase in ACM (HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.16-1.72). Duration of diabetes, prior to CRPC diagnosis was inversely associated with PCSM among men identified by ICD-9/10 codes and/or HbA1c values (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.88-0.98).
In men with late-stage prostate cancer, ICD-9/10 'code-identified' diabetes is associated with better overall survival than 'undiagnosed' diabetes identified by high HbA1c values only.
Our data suggest that better diabetes detection and management may improve survival in late-stage prostate cancer.
患有晚期前列腺癌的糖尿病男性的预后情况尚不清楚,研究也相对较少。因此,我们研究了糖尿病与非转移性去势抵抗性前列腺癌(nmCRPC)患者转移、前列腺癌特异性死亡率(PCSM)和全因死亡率(ACM)进展之间的关系。
使用 Cox 回归分析了 2000 年至 2017 年期间在 8 个退伍军人事务医疗保健中心诊断为 nmCRPC 的男性的数据,以确定糖尿病与结局之间的 HR 和 95%置信区间(CI)。根据以下标准对患有糖尿病的男性进行分类:(i)仅根据 ICD-9/10 代码,(ii)两次 HbA1c 值>6.4%(缺少 ICD-9/10 代码),以及(iii)所有糖尿病男性[(i)和(ii)组合]。
在 976 名男性(中位年龄:76 岁)中,304 名(31%)在 nmCRPC 诊断时患有糖尿病,其中 51%有 ICD-9/10 代码。在中位随访 6.5 年期间,613 名男性被诊断为转移,482 名发生了 PCSM,741 名发生了 ACM 事件。在多变量调整模型中,根据 ICD-9/10 代码确定的糖尿病与 PCSM 呈负相关(HR,0.67;95%CI,0.48-0.92),而 HbA1c 值较高(无 ICD-9/10 代码)确定的糖尿病与 ACM 增加相关(HR,1.41;95%CI,1.16-1.72)。在根据 ICD-9/10 代码和/或 HbA1c 值确定的男性中,糖尿病的持续时间与 PCSM 呈负相关(HR,0.93;95%CI,0.88-0.98)。
在晚期前列腺癌男性中,与仅根据 HbA1c 值较高确定的“未确诊”糖尿病相比,根据 ICD-9/10“代码确定”的糖尿病与总体生存情况更好相关。
我们的数据表明,更好地检测和管理糖尿病可能会改善晚期前列腺癌患者的生存情况。
