Cause-specific hospitalisation burden in people with and without DM. Burden of hospitalisation (expressed as percentage of time during follow-up spent in hospital) across percentiles of populations with (black squares) or without (grey triangles) diabetes mellitus (DM), illustrating the greater rate of hospitalisation in people with DM for decompensated heart failure (panel A; p = 0.002), other cardiovascular events (panel B; p = 0.021) and infection (panel C; p = 0.005), which was not observed for other non-cardiovascular events (panel D; p = 0.46).
