- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use is associated with reduced mortality risk in U.S. veterans with diabetes undergoing dialysis.
- The study analyzed data from 2012-2023, comparing incident CGM users to non-users matched by propensity scores.
- In complete case analysis, CGM use lowered mortality risk with hazard ratios of 0.86 and 0.83 in adjusted models.
- Multiple imputation cohort results similarly showed survival benefits, with HRs of 0.88 and 0.84.
- Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and effects of CGM on other dialysis outcomes.
