“What’s unique about this study is that we’ve included machine learning analyses — that is, algorithms for AI — to assess strength of association for cardiovascular risk factors”, says Aidin Rawshani, PhD, of Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg. Dr Rawshani is the corresponding author of a new article in the journal Circulation.

The study is based on register data concerning 32,611 people with type 1 diabetes for whom the mean duration of the disease had been 18 years. Follow-up time averaged just over 10 years.
