However, associations of biomarkers of oxidative stress with diabetes complications have not yet been addressed in large cohort studies.Derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) levels, a proxy for the reactive oxygen species burden, and total thiol levels (TTLs), a proxy for the reductive capacity, were measured in 2,125 patients with T2DM from two German cohort studies of almost equal size at baseline and 3-4 years later. Multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards models with time-dependent modeled d-ROMs levels and TTLs were used to assess the associations with incident major cardiovascular events (MCE), cancer incidence, and all-cause mortality.In total, 205, 179, and 394 MCE, cancer, and all-cause mortality cases were observed during 6-7 years of follow-up, respectively. Both oxidative stress biomarkers and the d-ROMs-to-TTL ratio were statistically significantly associated with all-cause mortality in both cohorts, and the pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:31167893 %R 10.2337/dc19-0292 %U https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/143919
