About this study

Official title: Detecting and Managing Metabolic Syndrome and Pre-Diabetes in General Medicine Clinic (Feasibility)

An educational intervention in the General Medicine Clinic aimed at both primary care providers (PCPs) and their patients with metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes (MetSyn/PDM). Improving PCPs ability to detect and manage MetSyn/PDM, as measured by the increased incorporation of MetSyn/PDM into PCPs care plan, and increasing patients' awareness of healthy lifestyle behaviors results in positive patient health behaviors and outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The highest diabetes prevalence in the US is among African Americans (13.3%), American Indians (12.8%), and Mexican Americans (9.5%) with 8.7% of European Americans diagnosed with diabetes. In addition, certain minorities also have much higher rates of diabetes-related complications and death, in some instances by as much as 50% more than the general population, highlighting that the greatest need for preventive measures are amongst ethnic minorities.

The efficacy of lifestyle intervention in reducing the incidence of type 2 diabetes has been established by the Diabetes Prevention Program and other studies. The Cook County Bureau of Health Services, a publicly-funded healthcare system serving a primarily low-income, uninsured, ethnically diverse population in Chicago, IL, currently treats an estimated 40,000 patients annually for type 2 diabetes and estimates that another 85,000 to 100,000 patients are at risk for developing diabetes.

Our primary objective was to test the feasibility of integrating less intensive lifestyle intervention therapy into patient visits with their primary care provider to improve weight loss and decrease the intensity of metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes risk factors. The site of the study is the General Medicine Clinic, a busy primary care outpatient site treating approximately 12,000 patients/year and 200 patients/day, staffed primarily by medical residents supervised by attending physicians.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lifestyle intervention and provider feedbackBehavioural

    Patients receive lifestyle education and counseling after each visit with their primary care provider. Lifestyle modification goals are set and progress monitored. Frequency is dependent on frequency of visits with primary care provider which can range from one month to nine months.

    Primary care providers of the intervention patients receive one education session at the commencement of the study covering the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes. Feedback on provider performance as assessed by provider documentation of diagnosis and treatment recommendations compared to patient outcomes is given every six months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patients adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors leading to significant weight loss, thus reducing their risk of diabetes and heart disease

    Weight loss from baseline

    Measured: 1.5 years

  2. Providers improve their ability to diagnose and treat metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes.

    Providers chart MetSyn in Problem List

    Measured: 1.5 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Improve patient understanding of the metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes risk parameters and the impact of healthy lifestyle changes on reducing their risk of developing heart disease and diabetes.

    Patient verbalizes values leading to MetSyn diagnosis

    Measured: 1.5 years

  2. Create a model multidisciplinary team (physician, nurse, dietitian, health educator) to conduct group visits, lifestyle intervention education and follow-up of patients with metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes.

    Multidisciplinary team created

    Measured: 1.5 years

  3. Develop a system-wide database of patients with metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes to target for preventive care.

    Database developed

    Measured: 1.5 years

  4. Establish physician discussions and documentations encouraging lifestyle changes such as weight loss, healthy dietary changes and exercise.

    Documentation

    Measured: 1.5 years

  5. Involve nursing staff in waist circumference measurement along with vital signs.

    Waist measurements documented

    Measured: 1.5 years

  6. Assess changes in insulin resistance using the HOMA-IR index and in vascular inflammation status using C-Reactive protein in the intervention and control groups.

    HOMA-IR calculated

    Measured: 1.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lifestyle intervention and provider feedback in people with Pre-Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, run by Cook County Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patients adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors leading to significant weight loss, thus reducing their risk of diabetes and heart disease (time frame: 1.5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jun 2023.
