Study population: Ambulatory patients of the Group Health Centre who are over the age of 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and who are enrolled in the Algoma Diabetes Education and Care (ADEC) program. ADEC is a managed diabetes care program and part of the Group Health Centre (GHC), a multi-specialty, interdisciplinary, ambulatory care facility located in Sault Ste. Marie, a northern Ontario community. With diagnostic services and a comprehensive electronic medical record, GHC provides health care to most of the community's population of approximately 75,000.

Who may be able to join

  • Ambulatory patients over the age of 18 years with diabetes mellitus.
  • Current enrolment in ADEC program (>6 months)or new enrolment in ADEC program (<6 months).
  • Confirmed diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, according to the current Canadian Diabetes Guidelines.
  • Informed consent provided

Who cannot join

  • History of only gestational diabetes.
  • Non-GHC member.
  • GHC patients with diabetes who do not attend the ADEC program.
  • Unable to give informed consent.
  • Any conditions/circumstances that prevent the patient from attending ADEC sessions or participating fully in the program.
  • Refusal to allow research staff access to medical records, including hospital charts.

About this study

Official title: Does Managed Diabetes Care Decrease Cardiovascular Complications of Diabetes?

The primary objective of this study is to identify whether cardiovascular complication rates are lower in patients who participate in managed diabetes care, in comparison to provincial and national rates. This study will involve an electronic medical record (EMR) chart audit, augmented by a manual review of hospital and other pertinent medical records, as necessary.

Read the detailed description

The DECIDE study will identify whether cardiovascular complication rates (the composite rate of myocardial infarction (MI), Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), stroke, carotid endarterectomy, peripheral revascularization, and peripheral amputation) are lower in patients who participate in managed diabetes care by ADEC in comparison to provincial and national rates. Comparison statistics will be provided by the Institute of Evaluative Sciences (ICES) Atlas 2003 and other Diabetes studies such as the 2005 DICE study. Complications such as nephropathy and retinopathy will be documented, along with hospitalization rates and all cause mortality. Clinical outcomes relevant to diabetes management such as blood pressure and lipids will also be compared.

What participants receive

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

  • ADEC ProgramOther

    Also called Managed Diabetes Care

    Interventions (managed diabetes care) employed by the ADEC Program include: diabetes education, nutrition care, individual and group counseling sessions, foot care, and insulin and oral diabetes medication adjustments with a signed medical directive. ADEC Diabetes Educators (Registered Dietitians and Registered Nurses) will use adult education principles throughout the education process and promote self-care by encouraging responsibility and promoting a positive attitude towards acceptance of diabetes. All patients will be encouraged to self-monitor their blood glucose at home. Team member collaboration and with other agencies to promote a total client care approach to diabetes management will be employed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disease Management and Diabetes Complications, run by Group Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 6 Oct 2009. 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 Canada. 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?

Rates of cardiovascular events and other complications of diabetes compared to provincial and national rates (time frame: 1 year). 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 6 Oct 2009.
