Association between diabetes distress and all-cause mortality in Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohort study (Diabetes Distress and Care Registry in Tenri [DDCRT 18])

Aims/hypothesis The absence of data on the direct association between diabetes-specific distress and all-cause mortality in individuals with diabetes prompted us to examine the temporal association between Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) survey scores and the subsequent risk of all-cause mortality in a cohort of individuals with type 2 diabetes.
