The Model for Assessing the Risk of Cardiovascular Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Aim - to identify the most significant risk factors that affect the occurrence of cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and to create the supplement for the risk assessment of cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods of research. The object of the study is adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 60). For the development and analysis of the material, a statistical method is used, a modeling method of constructing the classification trees. Discussion and results. Statistically significant risk factors for cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetes are a high body mass index, the presence of insulin therapy, the duration of the disease, a high maximum level of systolic blood pressure, high concentrations of LDL, markers of cell damage, and some hemodynamic parameters of myocardial function. A multidimensional model of the risk of complications was developed, which served as an algorithm for the created computer program, their early prognosis and timely carrying out of preventive measures.
