About this study

Official title: Pharmaceutical Care Program for Users of Brazilian Public Health Care System With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a pharmaceutical care program on the level of glycated hemoglobin for hyperglycemic users of brazilian public health care system in drug treatment for type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

The chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM) are a major public health problems of today. There is evidence that glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels above 7% are associated with a progressively greater risk of chronic complications related to DM. However, approximately 60% of diabetics do not achieve glycemic control. In Brazil, pharmacists are not involved in direct care of patients with DM. The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial, for six months, in Ouro Preto, Minas terais to determine the effect of pharmaceutical intervention on glycemic control in patients with diabetes and hyperglycemic (A1C > 7%). One hundred and twenty-nine subjects were randomized to receive usual care only or usual care and pharmaceutical intervention. The population of those who had access in the brazilian public health care system, as consultations with doctors, nurses and nutritionists, laboratory tests and access to essential medicines were considered as conventional health care.

What participants receive

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

  • PHARMACEUTICAL CAREOther

    The pharmaceutical care program was characterized by face to face monthly visits to collect information, register information, prepare plan of care for every health problem; identification of drug therapy problems, communication to prescribers the drug therapy problems identified and education of participants to resolve the drug therapy problems.

  • HEALTH USUAL CAREOther

    Usual care as defined in health consultations with doctors, nutritionists and nurses, access to laboratory tests and essential medicines

What is being measured

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

  1. GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN (A1C) LEVELS

    glycated hemoglobin levels was determined in the laboratory by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using venous blood as a sample

    Measured: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. FASTING GLUCOSE LEVELS

    fasting glucose levels was determined in the laboratory by enzymatic colorimetric method using venous blood as a sample

    Measured: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)

  2. TOTAL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS

    total cholesterol levels was determined in the laboratory by enzymatic colorimetric method using venous blood as a sample

    Measured: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)

  3. LDL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS

    LDL levels was determined in the laboratory by enzymatic colorimetric method using venous blood as a sample

    Measured: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)

  4. HDL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS

    HDL levels was determined in the laboratory by enzymatic colorimetric method using venous blood as a sample

    Measured: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)

  5. TRIGLYCERIDES LEVELS

    triglycerides levels was determined in the laboratory by enzymatic colorimetric method using venous blood as a sample

    Measured: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)

  6. SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE LEVELS

    blood pressure levels was determined by indirect method with digital sphygmomanometer, Omron HEM 742

    Measured: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)

  7. DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE LEVELS

    blood pressure levels was determined by indirect method with digital sphygmomanometer, Omron HEM 742

    Measured: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)

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?

GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN (A1C) LEVELS (time frame: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF STUDY (AFTER 6 MONTHS OF THE START)). 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.
