Abstract
In comparison to Australia-born patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 14,197), Vietnam-born patients (n = 152) had significantly higher risks of mortality (any-cause and diabetes-specific) while experiencing similar rates of readmission for diabetes and co-morbidities. The findings may reflect delays in seeking care and suboptimal diabetes care in Vietnamese immigrants. Further investigation into quality of diabetes care in Vietnamese immigrant populations is needed.
