Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to clarify the factors that influence the incidence of colorectal neoplasia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Study Design and Setting: Among a total of 1176 patients who underwent total colonoscopy at our hospital, we retrospectively analyzed 168 patients with type 2 DM. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were then performed to identify the risk factors associated with colorectal neoplasia. Results: A multivariate analysis of these patients demonstrated that male gender (odds ratio [OR] = 4.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.67-10.37, p = 0.002), taking statins (OR = 4.59, 95% CI = 1.69-13.43, p = 0.003), taking alpha glucosidase inhibitor (a-GI) (OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.13-0.87, p = 0.023) and taking low-dose aspirin (LDA) (OR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.10-0.95, p = 0.040) were independent factors associated with an increased (male gender and statins) or decreased (a-GI and LDA) risk of colorectal neoplasia. Conclusions: While male gender and taking statins are risk factors, taking a-GI as well as LDA may reduce the risk of colorectal neoplasia in patients with type2 DM.
