  • Title: Prevalence of gallstone disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. A case-control study.
    Author: Persson GE, Thulin AJ.
    Journal: Eur J Surg; 1991 Oct; 157(10):579-82. PubMed ID: 1687247.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of gallstone disease was analysed in 360 diabetic patients and in 359 control subjects. In 61 (17%) of the diabetic patients and 50 (14%) of the control subjects gallstone disease was verified by previous cholecystography, ultrasonography, or cholecystectomy. The remaining 608 with no history of gallstone disease were invited to have an ultrasound scan of the gallbladder; the prevalence of cholelithiasis was similar among diabetic patients (14.4% n = 28) and control subjects (12.5%, n = 26).
