About this study

Official title: Case-control Investigation of Critically Ill Patients With Newly Diagnosed Diabetes: Clinical Characteristics, Glucose Metrics and Outcomes

The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical outcomes and glucose control metrics of critically ill patients with previously undiagnosed diabetes compared to those with known diabetes at the time of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Read the detailed description

This case control study compares previously undiagnosed diabetic patients (defined as HbA1c > 6.5% and no history of diabetes), to those with known diabetes, using 1:1 matching. Patients met inclusion criteria by having HbA1c available on ICU admission and at least four blood glucose tests during their ICU stay. Primary outcomes included ICU length of stay and inpatient mortality. Secondary outcomes included glucose metrics: mean blood glucose, coefficient of variation and percentage of patients who developed hypoglycemia.

Target PopulationAdult patients age ≥ 18 admitted to the Stamford Hospital ICU between 9/14/11 and 11/30/19 with HbA1c available on admission and at least 4 blood glucose (BG) tests during ICU stay. Two groups were created; patients with previously undiagnosed diabetes (NDDM) compared to those with known diabetes (KDM) at the time of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Diabetes Diagnosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Inpatient mortality

    Estimates the risk of short-term mortality based on data from the initial 24 hours of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) IV

    Measured: 2011-2019

  2. Length of hospital Stay

    Total days spent admitted to the hospital

    Measured: 2011-2019

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by Stamford Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 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 25 Feb 2022. 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 United States. 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?

Inpatient mortality (time frame: 2011-2019). The study lists 2 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 25 Feb 2022.
