Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
OBJECTIVE: The correlates of serial changes in aortic stiffness in patients with diabetes have never been investigated. We aimed to examine the importance of glycemic control on progression/regression of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In a prospective study, two cf-PWV measurements were performed with the Complior equipment in 417 patients with type 2 diabetes over a mean follow-up of 4.2 years. Clinical laboratory data were obtained at baseline and throughout follow-up. Multivariable linear/logistic regressions assessed the independent correlates of changes in cf-PWV. RESULTS: Median cf-PWV increase was 0.11 m/s per year (1.1% per year). Overall, 212 patients (51%) increased/persisted with high cf-PWV, while 205 (49%) reduced/persisted with low cf-PWV. Multivariate linear regression demonstrated direct associations between cf-PWV changes and mean HbA during followup (partial correlation 0.14, P = 0.005). On logistic regression, a mean HbA ≥7.5% (58 mmol/mol) was associated with twofold higher odds of having increased/persistently high cf-PWV during follow-up. Furthermore, the rate of HbA reduction relative to baseline levels was inversely associated with cf-PWV changes (partial correlation -0.11, P = 0.011) and associated with reduced risk of having increased/persistently high aortic stiffness (odds ratio 0.82 [95% CI 0.69-0.96]; P = 0.017). Other independent correlates of progression in aortic stiffness were increases in systolic blood pressure and heart rate between the two cf-PWV measurements, older age, female sex, and presence of dyslipidemia and retinopathy. CONCLUSIONS: Better glycemic control, together with reductions in blood pressure and heart rate, was the most important correlate to attenuate/prevent progression of aortic stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes.
