About this study

Official title: Sex Differences in the Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases Associated With Diabetes: an Examination of Variation in Health Service Delivery

To evaluate the risk of cardiovascular events associated with medication use for controlling blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels in men and women with diabetes treated in primary care

Read the detailed description

The management and treatment of adult diabetes is far from optimal. The most recent report from the National Diabetes Audit showed that only one in three people with diabetes are achieving recommended standards for controlling blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels; and only three in five received basic care processes to reduce their risk of diabetes-related complications such as blindness, amputation and kidney disease. Women did 15% worse than men, which may explain some of the reported higher excess risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, consequent to diabetes in women than men. More efficient and equitable care in people with diabetes could lead to substantial cost savings, and would improve the lives of women and men currently living with diabetes.

The objective of this research isto evaluate the risk of cardiovascular events associated with medication use for controlling blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels in men and women with diabetes treated in primary care.

  • No intervention is given.Other

    This study is based on the analysis of linked electronic health records (CALIBER dataset)

What is being measured

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

  1. First occurrence of cardiovascular disease

    First recorded diagnosis of cardiovascular disease during follow-up: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, unheralded coronary death, heart failure, transient ischaemic attack, ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage, peripheral arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, ventricular arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, or sudden cardiac death

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cardiovascular mortality

    Composite endpoint of cardiovascular mortality

    Measured: 10 years

  2. All cause mortality

    Composite endpoint of all cause mortality

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by University College, London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2015. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

First occurrence of cardiovascular disease (time frame: 10 years). 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 7 Sep 2015.
