who are known to be deceased will be submitted separately to obtain cause of death.
Records will be searched for all years for which vital status cannot be confirmed.
Death
certificates and reports of deaths by immediate family members or the participant’s health
care provider will also be considered definitive evidence of mortality. Next of kin will
not be contacted when a death is identified.
Based on the 9,448 incident 2002-2008 cases registered to date,
we anticipate that we will
have
≈ 46,863 person-years (p-y) of follow-up with a mean follow-up time of 5 years for
the cohort (35,836 p-y for T1D; 9.144 p-y for T2D). P-Y of follow-up will be calculated
from the date of diagnosis until the date of death or December 31, 2010. We will
examine all-cause mortality as well as cause-specific mortality.
Cause of death will be
obtained from the codes on the death using a standardized international protocol. In the
analyses of risk and cause of death using this population-based cohort, we will evaluate
the association between mortality and cause-specific
mortality by gender, age,
race/ethnicity, and DM type. In addition, targeted exploratory subgroup analysis will be
conducted to examine the associations between variables measured at SEARCH visits
including history of acute complications.
