About this study

Official title: Characteristics, Treatment, and Economic Burden of Disease of Chinese Diabetic/Non-diabetic Patients With/Without Established Cardiovascular Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, or at High Cardiovascular Risk

The heavy disease burden is mainly due to diabetic complications. Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).China has been the largest absolute disease burden of diabetes in the world recently1. Diabetic patients with established CVD or CKD are bringing growing pressure upon our nation's healthcare expenditure1. However, the characteristic profile of Chinese diabetic patients who has CVD, CKD or at high risk of CVD remains unclear thus is in urgent need for in-depth investigation.In current China, however, the information regarding diabetes or non-diabetes patients who also had other comorbid conditions (e.g. established CV diseases, CKD or at high risk for such problem), is limited; the patient characteristics, treatment patterns and economic burden may not be fully understood.Therefore, based on TianJin regional database, the investigators will describe the demographic, clinical characteristics, treatment, and economic burden of disease of Chinese diabetic/non-diabetic patients with/without established CV disease, CKD, or at high CV risk including hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. And the investigators believe that the resulting findings will inform a comprehensive group of evidence users to achieve better healthcare for diabetes patients with established or at high risk of CVD or CKD.

Read the detailed description

The study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment, and economic burden of disease of Chinese diabetic/non-diabetic patients with/without established cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, or at high cardiovascular risk, including:

  1. estimate the proportion of Chinese diabetic/non-diabetic patients with established cardiovascular disease, CKD, or at high cardiovascular risk including hypertension and hyperlipidaemia;
  2. describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of Chinese diabetic/non-diabetic patients with/without established cardiovascular disease, CKD, or at high cardiovascular risk;
  3. investigate the treatment patterns of Chinese diabetic/non-diabetic patients with/without established cardiovascular disease, CKD, or at high cardiovascular risk;
  4. examine economic burden of disease of Chinese diabetic/non-diabetic patients with/without established cardiovascular disease, CKD, or at high cardiovascular risk;
  5. explore the trends of clinical characteristics, treatment pattern, economic burden of inpatients over time (2008, 2013, and 2018 separately);

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2023. 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 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?

The number of diabetic/non-diabetic patients with disease or risk (time frame: 10 months after enrollment). The study lists 15 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Jun 2023.
