About this study

Official title: Turkish Nationwide SurvEy of Glycemic and Other Metabolic Parameters of Patients With Diabetes Mellitus (TEMD Study)

This study evaluates the overall cardiovascular risk status and best predictors of optimal metabolic control of Turkish adult patients with diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases with an increasing prevalence worldwide.The prevalence of diabetes is also increased significantly in Turkey, from 7.2 % in 2002 to 13.7% in 2012.This increasing prevalence leads to serious public health problems and a significant economic burden. Therefore, the optimal treatment of diabetes and prevention of diabetic complications, especially the cardiovascular outcomes, is utmost important. Although achieving glycemic targets in patients with diabetes is of great importance, blood glucose is not the only predictor of cardiovascular outcome in diabetes. Optimization of other metabolic parameters such as lipids, arterial blood pressure (ABP), and body weight as well as a healthy lifestyle are utmost important. As there is hardly enough data about glycemic and other metabolic control parameters in Turkish adult patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, this nationwide survey was performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycemia control status of Turkish adult patients with diabetes mellitus

    Glycemia control will be defined as good control if the mean HbA1c level of patients < 7% or poor control if the mean HbA1c level of patient > 7%

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Blood pressure control status of Turkish adult patients with diabetes mellitus

    Home blood pressure <135/85 mmHg will be defined as under control.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Lipid control status of Turkish adult patients with diabetes mellitus.

    Triglyceride < 150 mg/dl, LDL-C < 100 mg/dl, HDL-C > 40 mg/dl for men, and HDL-C > 50 mg/dl for women will be defined as under control.

    Measured: 7 days.

  3. Weight control status of Turkish adult patients with diabetes mellitus.

    Body mass index < 30 kg/m2 will be defined as under control. Weight and height will be combined to report body mass index in kg/m2.

    Measured: 7 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by Gulhane School of Medicine at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2018. 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 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?

Glycemia control status of Turkish adult patients with diabetes mellitus (time frame: 7 days). 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 NCT03455101, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Mar 2018.
