Background : Although new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) is known to frequently occur as a complication after heart transplantation, its clinical influence on long-term survival is not well-studied.

Methods : We reviewed the consecutive 391 patients aged 17 years or older (aged 45.4±13.3 years, 283 males) who underwent isolated orthotopic heart transplantation from 1992 through 2013 at the Asan Medical Center. Among them, 88 patients (22.5%) developed NODM postoperatively, and the entire cohort was divided into three groups: No-diabetes group (n=257), Preexisting diabetes group (n=46), and New-onset diabetes group (n=88). The early and late clinical outcomes were compared between the three groups. The correlation between NODM and long-term survival was analyzed using Cox proportional-hazard model where NODM was considered as a time-dependent variable.

Results : Early mortality occurred in 8 patients (2.0%). During a median follow-up period of 65.2 months (interquartile range, 33.8-114.8), 83 patients (21.2%) died. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, the NODM patients showed a significantly inferior long-term survival compared with those in the No-diabetes group (P=0.003), but there was no significant difference in the overall survival rate between the Preexisting diabetes and New-onset diabetes group (P=0.451). On further analysis, new-onset DM were associated with a significantly increased risk in all-cause death (hazard radio [HR], 2.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.43-3.80; P=0.001).

Conclusion : New-onset DM confers a negative impact to long-term survival after heart transplantation. These findings indicate that the close surveillance of new-onset DM and meticulous postoperative DM control may improve the long-term survival in this cohort.
