OBJECTIVE: To estimate the rates of diabetes complications and revascularization procedures among people with diabetes who have experienced homelessness compared with a matched cohort of nonhomeless control subjects.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A propensity-matched cohort study was conducted using administrative health data from Ontario, Canada. Inclusion criteria included a diagnosis of diabetes and at least one hospital encounter between April 2006 and March 2019. Homeless status was identified using a validated administrative data algorithm. Eligible people with a history of homelessness were matched to nonhomeless control subjects with similar sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Rate ratios (RRs) for macrovascular complications, revascularization procedures, acute glycemic emergencies, skin/soft tissue infections, and amputation were calculated using generalized linear models with negative binomial distribution and robust SEs.
RESULTS: Of 1,076,437 people who were eligible for inclusion in the study, 6,944 were identified as homeless. A suitable nonhomeless match was found for 5,219 individuals. The rate of macrovascular complications was higher for people with a history of homelessness compared with nonhomeless control subjects (RR 1.85, 95% CI 1.64-2.07), as were rates of hospitalization for glycemia (RR 5.64, 95% CI 4.07-7.81) and skin/soft tissue infections (RR 3.78, 95% CI 3.31-4.32). By contrast, the rates of coronary revascularization procedures were lower for people with a history of homelessness (RR 0.76, 95% CI 0.62-0.94).
CONCLUSIONS: These findings contribute to our understanding of the impact of homelessness on long-term diabetes outcomes. The higher rates of complications among people with a history of homelessness present an opportunity for tailored interventions to mitigate these disparities.
