About this study

Official title: A Cross-sectional Observational Survey to Evaluate the Rate of Diabetes and Glucose Intolerance (Both Diagnosed and Undiagnosed) Among Hong Kong Chinese Subjects With Coronary Heart Disease

Hypothesis: there is a high prevalence rate of diabetes, including asymptomatic undiagnosed glucose intolerance, among subjects with coronary heart disease in Hong Kong.

A cross-sectional survey is planned to study the rate of undiagnosed diabetes and glucose intolerance among the Chinese patients with coronary heart disease in Hong Kong. The survey results will be important for us to plan the logistics to investigate and manage the potential glucose abnormality of our heart disease patient.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes is becoming an epidemic in Hong Kong, affecting over 10% of population and causing a major burden to the health care system. Over 30-40% of patients admitted to the medical wards of the Hospital Authority hospitals have diabetes as a contributory factor. It was estimated that thirty to fifty percent of patients with stroke, heart failure or acute myocardial infarction have diabetes as a key causative factor. However, the exact prevalence rate of diabetes, including asymptomatic undiagnosed glucose intolerance, among subjects with coronary heart disease is still unknown in Hong Kong. Many heart disease patients with undiagnosed diabetes remained being untreated on their abnormal glycemic status, which will further aggravate the heart disease and impair the prognosis.

The investigators plan to conduct a cross-sectional survey to study the rate of undiagnosed diabetes and glucose intolerance among the Chinese patients with coronary heart disease in Hong Kong. The survey results will be important for us to plan the logistics to investigate and manage the potential glucose abnormality of our heart disease patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Heart Disease and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2015.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 China. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

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 24 Aug 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
