About this study

Official title: Metabolic Syndrome and Its Related Diseases in Healthcare Workers: Incidence, Prevalence, and Risk Factors

This study aims to investigate the incidence and prevalence of metabolic syndrome and metabolism-related diseases among healthcare workers, identify potential risk factors for these diseases, evaluate the control status of these conditions, and explore the significance of annual regular check-ups in improving metabolic-related health outcomes. All data for the study subjects are sourced from anonymized continuous records in hospital physical examinations and medical case files. The study does not involve any interventions. Upon obtaining the study data, researchers will use retrospective analysis methods to identify possible associations between risk factors and diseases.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
the Metabolic Related Diseases in Medical Workers (MRDMW) cohortThe cohort includes all hospital employees who receive annual check-ups.

What is being measured

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

  1. composite endpoint of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

    The number of hospitalizations due to severe coronary heart disease, stroke, or sudden cardiac death. The outcome is determined if any of the first three discharge diagnoses include acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or sudden cardiac death, or if an emergency coronary stent placement or coronary artery bypass graft surgery is performed during hospitalization.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. new-onset metabolic syndrome

    The number of individuals who did not meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome at the first examination but developed the syndrome later. The diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome involve meeting three or more of the following conditions:

    Abdominal obesity: waist circumference ≥90 (men) or ≥85 (women) cm. Hyperglycemia: fasting blood glucose ≥6.1 or 2-hour postprandial blood glucose ≥7.8 mmol/L or previously diagnosed diabetes. Hypertension: blood pressure ≥130/85 mmHg or previously diagnosed hypertension. Elevated triglycerides: fasting triglycerides ≥1.70 mmol/L or on lipid-lowering medication. Low fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) <1.04 mmol/L.

    If waist circumference and HDL-C data are missing, abdominal obesity will be defined using the body mass index (BMI), calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters (BMI ≥ 28.0 kg/m^2). Total cholesterol ≥ 5.17 mmol/L will be used as a substitute for the HDL-C indicator.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Syndrome X and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 9 Aug 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 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?

composite endpoint of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06543706, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 9 Aug 2024.
