Five-Year Cardiorenal Outcomes and Longitudinal Chronic Kidney Disease Screening in People with Type 2 Diabetes Managed by Endocrinologists: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This nationwide study of people with type 2 diabetes found that those who saw an endocrinologist had better long-term heart and kidney outcomes, but only about half got regular kidney screening. Because it looked back at medical records, it shows a link between care type and outcomes—not proof that seeing an endocrinologist caused the improvement.
