Diagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM) is a consistently documented risk factor for ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). To assess the association between duration of diabetes and elevated HbA1c with risk of stroke among diabetics with AF. We assessed this association in the ATRIA California community-based cohort of AF patients (study years 1996-2003) where all events were clinician adjudicated. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate the rate of ischemic stroke in diabetic patients according to time-varying measures of estimated duration of diabetes (≥3 years compared to <3 years) and HbA1c values (≥9.0% and 7.0-8.9% compared to <7.0%), focusing on periods where patients were not anticoagulated. There were 2,101 diabetic patients included in the duration analysis, 40% with duration <3 years and 60% with duration ≥3 years at baseline. Among 1933 diabetic patients included in the HbA1c analysis, 46% had HbA1c <7.0%, 36% between 7.0 and 8.9%, and 19% ≥9.0% at baseline. Duration of diabetes ≥ 3 years was associated with an increased rate of ischemic stroke compared to duration <3 years (adjusted HR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.10-2.76). The increased stroke rate was observed in older (≥75 years) and younger (<75 years) individuals. Neither poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥9.0%, adjusted HR: 1.04, 95% CI: 0.57-1.92) or moderately increased HbA1c (7.0-8.9%, adjusted HR: 1.21, 95% CI: 0.77-1.91) were significantly associated with an increased rate of ischemic stroke compared with patients who had HbA1c <7.0%. Duration of diabetes is a more important predictor of ischemic stroke than glycemic control in patients who have diabetes and AF.
