Patient Characteristics and Outcomes of Hospitalized Chronic Kidney Disease Patients with and without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Observations from the German Claims Data-Based Cohort of the CaReMe-CKD Multinational Study.

In this study, we present recent data on hospitalized patients with CKD in Germany. In this CKD cohort, nearly half had T2DM, which substantially affected cardiovascular disease burden, rehospitalization frequency and mortality. Interestingly, non-diabetic patients had more advanced underlying renal disease, which affected renal outcomes.
