How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) have a high risk of secondary cardiorenal syndrome, which increases the death rate in these patients. Diabetes-associated heart and kidney damage is an important and largely underestimated cause of global morbidity and mortality. The research for new combinations of cardionephroprotective drugs is currently an urgent task. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of valsartan and amlodipine versus the combination of sacubitril/valsartan and amlodipine in relation to cardiac and nephroprotection in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study involved 96 patients with type 2 diabetes with secondary cardiorenal syndrome. There were 54 (56.25%) men and 42 (43.75%) women. The average age was 60.27±7.53 years. During the study, patients were randomized into two groups. Group 1 (n=48) consisted of patients with type 2 diabetes with age 59.38±7.74 years who received a combination of valsartan and amlodipine for 6 months. Group 2 (n=48) consisted of patients with type 2 diabetes with age 61.17±7.29 years who received therapy which consisted of sacubitrile/valsartan and amlodipine for the same time. The control group consisted of 40 practically healthy volunteers whose average age was 60.3 ± 7.0 years. It was revealed that cardiac markers NT-proBNP, cystatin C, aldosterone are integral indicators of the risk of developing cardiovascular and renal dysfunctions, and increases in patients with type 2 diabetes indicates a high probability of progression of secondary cardiorenal syndrome. A six-month therapy with a combination of antihypertensive drugs valsartan with amlodipine and sacubitrile/valsartan with amlodipine in patients with type 2 diabetes equally effectively reduces blood pressure, while NT-proBNP and cystatin C significantly decrease against the background of an increase in glomerular filtration rate. In patients with secondary cardiorenal syndrome who received a combination of sacubitril/valsartan and amlodipine there was a more pronounced dynamics of a decrease in albuminuria and aldosterone levels.
