Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS
Health, Superseded 15/02/2006 DSS specific information: People with diabetes have two to five times increased risk of developing heart, stroke and vascular disease (Zimmet & Alberti 1997). Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in people with diabetes. Diabetes is also an important cause of stroke, and people with diabetes may have a worse prognosis after stroke. Heart, stroke and vascular disease and diabetes share common risk factors, but also diabetes is an independent risk factor for heart, stroke and vascular disease. During the 1995 National Health Survey, about 15 per cent of those with diabetes reported having heart disease, at almost six times the rate noted among people without diabetes. In 1996-97, almost one in six hospital separations, with coronary heart disease as any listed diagnosis, also had diabetes recorded as an associated diagnosis. Heart disease appears earlier in life and is more often fatal among those with diabetes. Diabetes may accentuate the role of elevated blood pressure in stroke. The incidence and prevalence of peripheral vascular disease in those with diabetes increase with the duration of the peripheral vascular disease. Mortality is increased among patients with peripheral vascular disease and diabetes, in particular if foot ulcerations, infection or gangrene occur. There is limited information on whether the presence of heart, stroke and vascular disease promotes diabetes in some way. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity are often present along with diabetes. As well as all being independent cardiovascular risk factors, when they are in combination with glucose intolerance (a feature of diabetes) and other risk factors such as physical inactivity and smoking, these factors present a greater risk for heart, stroke and vascular disease. Evidence is accumulating that high cholesterol and glucose intolerance, which often occur together, may have a common aetiological factor. Despite these similarities, trends in cardiovascular mortality and diabetes incidence and mortality are moving in opposite directions. While the ageing of the population following reductions in cardiovascular mortality may have contributed to these contrasting trends, the role of other factors also needs to be clearly understood if common risk factor prevention strategies are to be considered. (From Commonwealth Department of Health & Aged Care and Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (1999) National Health Priority Areas Report: Cardiovascular Health). In settings such as general practice where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where diabetes status can change over time, the service contact date should be recorded.

Diabetes (clinical) DSS
Health, Superseded 21/09/2005 DSS specific information: Uncontrolled diabetes leads to a variety of complications, often resulting in limitation of activity, disability, illness and premature mortality. Therefore ongoing assessment is required to identify people at risk of developing complications so that early preventive strategies can be applied. Although there is no cure for diabetes, with modern treatment most people can lead a full and active life and avoid long-term complications. Aetiological classifications contained in the scientific paper 'Definition, Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus and its Complications Part 1: Diagnosis and Classifications of Diabetes Mellitus Provisional Report of a WHO Consultation (Alberti & Zimmet 1998)'.
