About this study

Retrospective cross-sectional study measuring the impact of a computer=based insulin correction protocol and nursing inservicing on diabetes outcomes

Read the detailed description

This study is a retrospective cross-sectional study at one institution, where the investigators compared diabetic patients admitted to Medicine Services from March-April 2006 (before CPOE was implemented) to patients admitted from October-November 2007 (one year after CPOE implementation). Capillary blood glucose values, Hemoglobin AIC, diabetes medication profile and demographic data were obtained to compare between groups. The investigators hypothesized that a computer-based protocol that emphasizes basal-bolus and correctional insulin orders and excludes sliding scale, in conjunction with nursing personnel inservicing, improves outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Inpatient Glucose

    Baseline glucose

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of normoglycemic (70 to 150 mg/dl) patient-days

    Percentage of inpatient days at glucose target

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

  2. Percentage of hyperglycemic patient-days

    Percentage of inpatient days above glucose target

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

  3. Percentage of Patient-days with glucose less than 70 mg/dl

    Percentage of inpatient days below glucose target

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

  4. Percentage of Patients with inpatient or recent (less than 6 months) hemoglobin AIC

    Percentage of patients with recent A1c

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

  5. Length of stay

    Number of days inpatient

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

  6. Distribution of oral hypoglycemic use

    Rate of oral diabetes medication use

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

  7. Distribution of type of insulin therapy used

    Rate of insulin use

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

  8. Percent of patient-days with severe hypoglycemia

    Percentage of patient days with glucose below 55 mg/dL

    Measured: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 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?

Mean Inpatient Glucose (time frame: From day of admission to hospital until day of discharge from hospital). 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 28 Nov 2023.
