About this study

Official title: Association Between Atherogenic Index of Plasma, Blood Pressure and Impaired Glucose Metabolism

In this study, the investigators aimed to find out whether there is any association between the atherogenic index of plasma with the glucose metabolism.In this respect, apart from the well-known diabetic risk factors, the investigators purposed to reveal new ones.

Read the detailed description

Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a relatively new index and a predictor of cardiovascular risk. AIP has been shown to be associated with impaired glucose metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between AIP and parameters of glucose metabolism.

Methods: This observational study involved 448 healthy individuals who were at risk for diabetes. They were sent to hospital for diabetes check. According to the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test participants were categorized into the three groups; non-diabetic, prediabetic, and diabetic based on the criteria of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The association between the diabetes group, AIP and parameters of glucose metabolism was analyzed.

The accuracy of registry data compatible with medical records. Statistical analyses were carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, Windows version 15.0 (SPSS, Chicago, Illinois, USA). Descriptive statistics for each variable were determined. Normality of the data distribution was assessed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. For continuous variables, non-parametric statistics (Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis), and parametric statistics (t-test, ANOVA analysis) were used as appropriate. Statistically significant differences between the groups were determined by the chi-square test for categorical variables. Associations between the variables were explored using the Pearson correlation and Spearman's rho (for data that was not normally distributed). Linear regression analysis with backward elimination was also performed to define variables associated with AIP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus Risk, run by Erzincan University at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 30 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) values compared with glucose metabolism parameters like HbA1c, Fasting Plasma Glucose and 2-hour plasma glucose levels. (time frame: 6 months). 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 30 Nov 2016.
