About this study

Official title: Awareness of Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

In this survey study, researchers want to find out more about how physicians are treating patients diagnosed with reduced kidney function (chronic kidney disease, CKD) and high blood sugar level (type 2 diabetes); what physicians know about the different treatment options available; and how they use this knowledge to treat their patients successfully. Additionally, researchers want to gather information about patient's awareness of their disease and which criteria they consider important for their treatment of the disease.

The study will survey a total of 150 patients with type 2 diabetes: 50 patients with mild CKD; 50 patients with moderate CKD; and 50 patients with severe CKD. Patients eligible for this study can be male or female and should be at least 18 years old. In addition, a total of 150 physicians will be surveyed. Physicians eligible for this study may be general practitioners, endocrinologist, or nephrologists.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective in this study is to assess the awareness, values and preferences of patients and physicians with respect to the risks, consequences and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Secondary objectives aim to assess awareness of available CKD treatments, referral tools and communication between patients and physicians.

Both patients and physicians will complete a survey that consists of various questions regarding the knowledge of disease, values and treatments, patient-physician interaction, physician referral tools and disease risk management.

What is being measured

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

  1. Awareness of chronic kidney disease in T2D

    Awareness will be summarized descriptively based on various survey questions.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Values regarding chronic kidney disease in T2D

    Values regarding risks, consequences and management of chronic kidney disease will be summarized descriptively based on various survey questions.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Preferences regarding chronic kidney disease in T2D

    Preferences regarding risks, consequences and management of chronic kidney disease will be summarized descriptively based on various survey questions.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Awareness of available treatments for chronic kidney disease in T2D

    Awareness of available treatments will be summarized descriptively based on various survey questions.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Physician awareness of available referral tools for the management of chronic kidney disease in T2D

    Physician cohort only. Referral tools may comprise of various standard guidelines (e.g. KidneyWise, KDIGO guidelines, Diabetes Canada guidelines). A higher number of referral tools known by physicians indicates a better awareness of CKD referral tools.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Time point of communicated CKD diagnosis

    Measured: 1 day
