About this study

Official title: Sensitivity and Specificity of Guidelines' Recommendations and Existing Predictive Models to Detect Undiagnosed Diabetes Mellitus or Prediabetes in a Chinese Population

This project will compare the sensitivity and specificity of different screening criteria or recommendations to detect pre-diabetes or diabetes mellitus in a Chinese population, using point-of-care hemoglobin A1c.

Being tested
point-of-care HbA1c
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • point-of-care HbA1cDiagnostic test

    The Afinion2™ (Abbott, Oslo, Norway), will be used for the current study as it is recently validated. According to American Diabetes Association (ADA), pre-diabetes (pre-DM) is diagnosed if HbA1c is 5.7-6.4% and diabetes (DM) is diagnosed if HbA1c is ≥6.5%

What is being measured

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

  1. Point-of-care (POC) HbA1c

    the measurement to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes; pre-DM is diagnosed if HbA1c is 5.7-6.4% and DM is diagnosed if HbA1c is ≥6.5%.

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Office blood pressure

    a measurement to screen for hypertension; BP will be measured for 2 times (1-minute apart) and will be in accordance to the Hong Kong Primary Care Office guideline (e.g. the choice of cuffs and positioning). The average of the two BP readings will be used for analysis and management. Elevated BP is defined as a systolic BP (SBP) of ≥140mmHg and/or a diastolic BP (DBP) ≥90mmHg

    Measured: baseline

  2. Body mass index

    a measurement for obesity. Body mass index (BMI) is calculated by weight divided by the square of height (BMI = weight (kg)/height(m)2). According the Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection, overweight and obesity are defined as a BMI of 23-24.9kg/m2 and ≥25kg/m2 respectively

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 2 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 7 Feb 2024. 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Point-of-care (POC) HbA1c (time frame: baseline). 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 7 Feb 2024.
