Trial summary

A blood glucose level of equal to or greater than 180 mg/dL that occurred during stress in a patient without diabetes mellitus (DM) is termed stress hyperglycemia (SH). The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is defined as the fasting blood glucose divided by the blood glucose level that is calculated from the… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Preliminary Clinical Study on the Effects of Oral Hypoglycemic Agents on the Stress Hyperglycemic Ratio in Type 2 Diabetes Patients in the Absence of Serious Illness

A blood glucose level of equal to or greater than 180 mg/dL that occurred during stress in a patient without diabetes mellitus (DM) is termed stress hyperglycemia (SH). The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is defined as the fasting blood glucose divided by the blood glucose level that is calculated from the glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1c) value on admission. A significantly higher SHR is associated with worse prognostic biomarkers in diabetic patients with complications

Read the detailed description

Stress hyperglycemia (SH) is an increase in circulating glucose levels in biological fluids as a physiological response to stress in diabetic patients who are known or newly diagnosed, or a pathological condition associated with in-hospital-related hyperglycemia.

Interventions. Through their pleiotropic effects, some oral hypoglycemic agents improved stress hyperglycemia. When compared to non-SGLT-I (sodium glucose transporter-inhibitor) users, diabetic patients who used (SGLT-I) and had an acute myocardial infarction had less prevalent stress hyperglycemia, a smaller infarct size, and evidence of a low inflammatory response. The rationale this study is to evaluate the SHR in T2D patients who do not have serious illnesses and are managed with oral hypoglycemic agents

What is being measured

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

  1. Stress hyperglycemia Ratio

    The ratio of stress-to-on admission blood glucose was calculated

    Measured: 10 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hematological indices

    Concentration of hemoglobin (g/dL) and the value of mean corpuscular volume (fL)

    Measured: 10 week

  2. Inflammatory markers

    Concentration of c-reactive protein (mg/L)

    Measured: 10 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Diyala at 1 site in Iraq.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 21 Apr 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 Iraq. 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?

Stress hyperglycemia Ratio (time frame: 10 week). 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 21 Apr 2023.
