Older patients are at increased risk for renal posttransplantation diabetes mellitus

All patients without diabetes who underwent renal transplant at a University Hospital
between July 2012 and June 2015 were included. PTDM was diagnosed according to current
ADA criteria at four months after transplantation. Poisson regression with robust
standard errors was performed with PTDM as dependent variable and the possible risk
factors under study (age, sex, type of donor, immunosuppressive type, family history
of DM, pre-transplant BMI and fasting plasma glucose) as independent variables. P-value
0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
