About this study

Official title: Improving Hypertension Control in Individuals With Diabetes

Twelve health organizations from around the US were selected to participate in a chart review Hypertension and Diabetes Initiative with the goal of improving blood pressure control in persons with diabetes.

Hypothesis:

A three-phase quality improvement initiative facilitated and monitored through the International Diabetes Center (IDC) will result in improved population-mean systolic blood pressure in the aggregate data pool of patients from all 12 participating sites at geographically distinct health systems.

Read the detailed description

Phase 1 - Preparation: Each participating site begins to organize itself for the project. Baseline data will be collected and will be used to benchmark where each site is relative to blood pressure control/management of persons with diabetes prior to the implementation of the training programs.

Phase 2 - Implementation: Sites begin to address the gaps they have identified that affect blood pressure outcomes of patients with diabetes. IDC provides two on-site training programs for providers and support staff.

Phase 3 - Follow-up: IDC provides on-going support to each site via individual and collaborative conference calls and resources on the project Web site. Patient and visit data (audit form) will be collected six and 12 months after training. This data will be compared to the site's pre-training data.

What is being measured

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

  1. Systolic blood pressure

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Measure changes in action taken related to improving blood pressure management as percent of providers reporting changing (initiating or adjusting) blood pressure medication

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by HealthPartners Institute.

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 4 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 2 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Systolic blood pressure (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00743808, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 2 Dec 2015.
