Filter by:CVD-REAL is a multinational, observational cohort study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus evaluating the comparative effectiveness of initiating treatment with a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor versus another glucose-lowering drug. This study will compare the risk of all-cause mortality and clinically relevant cardiovascular (CV) outcomes respectively in patients who are new users of SGLT-2 inhibitors with those who are new users of other glucose-lowering drugs. CVD-REAL is aiming to collect data from approximately 4 million patients overall, from twelve countries across three major world regions.
Background: Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of Veterans Health Administration (VHA) users. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VHA. Gender disparities persist in cardiovascular (CV) and diabetes risk factor control, and rates of depression, anxiety, and mental health comorbidity are disproportionately high among women Veterans. Furthermore, a high rate of women Veterans' attrition from VA care, along with organizational barriers to care, substantiate that organizational changes are needed in order to engage and retain women Veteran VHA users in evidence-based, patient-centered care. Objectives: The Enhancing Mental and Physical health of Women through Engagement and Retention (EMPOWER) QUERI addresses VHA Blueprint for Excellence Strategy 6, by advancing "personalized, proactive, patient-centered" care models, and Transformational Strategy 7.2.g by implementation of innovative care models in women Veterans' health care." The EMPOWER QUERI Program is designed to improve women Veterans' engagement and retention in evidence-based care for three high priority health conditions, i.e., prediabetes, cardiovascular, and mental health. To achieve this impact goal, we propose a cohesive portfolio of projects with the following aims: (1) To use an evidence-based implementation strategy that emphasizes local tailoring of care models, multilevel stakeholder engagement, and systematic evaluation of complex implementation processes in order to enrich organizational capacity for innovations in women Veterans' VHA health care; (2) To implement personalized, proactive, patient-centered innovations in VHA women's health that are acceptable, feasible, satisfactory, relevant, and effective for both providers and patients, thereby encouraging women Veterans' engagement and retention and sustainability of the innovations; and, (3) To generate implementation "playbooks" for our partners that are scalable and serve as guidance for future implementation of a broader array of evidence-based women's health programs and policy. Methods: Three projects will be conducted by an experienced multidisciplinary team. "Tailoring VA's Diabetes Prevention Program to Women Veterans' Needs" is a one-year QI project to be conducted in VA Greater Los Angeles women's health clinics. Women Veterans with prediabetes will select an in-person, peer-led or online gender-specific, evidence-based diabetes prevention program to address their risk behaviors and health conditions. "Facilitating Cardiovascular Risk Screening and Risk Reduction in Women Veterans" will increase identification of CV risk among women Veterans, enhance patient/provider communication and shared decision-making about CV risk, and provide a supportive, coordinated health coaching intervention to facilitate women Veterans' engagement and retention in appropriate health services. "Implementation of Tailored Collaborative Care for Women Veterans" will evaluate implementation of an evidence-based collaborative care model tailored to enhance provider- and system-level capabilities to address women Veterans' anxiety and depression treatment needs, thereby improving organizational primary care-mental health integration (PC-MHI) effectiveness and women Veterans' engagement and retention in PC-MHI. Both implementation research studies will use a modified stepped wedge design and will apply the evidence-based Replicating Effective Programs (REP) implementation strategy. Mixed methods implementation evaluations will focus on investigating primary implementation outcomes of adoption, acceptability, feasibility, and reach. Multilevel stakeholder engagement will be prioritized. Program-wide organizational-, provider-, and patient-level measures and tools will be utilized to enhance synergy, productivity, and impact. As a coherent program of women's health implementation research and quality improvement, the proposed EMPOWER QUERI will constitute a major milestone in achieving BPE strategies and realizing women Veterans' engagement and, ultimately, empowerment in our VHA system.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the benefit and cost of including health coaches, clinical pharmacists and mobile health (mHealth) tools such as text messaging and videoconferencing in diabetes management support services for African-Americans and Latinos with uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes.
Title: Combined Optical Coherence Tomography Morphologic and Fractional Flow Reserve Hemodynamic Assessment of Non-Culprit Lesions to Better Predict Adverse Event Outcomes in Diabetes Mellitus Patients COMBINE (OCT-FFR) Prospective Register To study the natural evolution of patients with at least one intermediate angiographic but non-hemodynamic significant stenotic lesion, in two subgroups of patients, with TCFA vs. no TCFA as detected by OCT imaging and to compare these two groups of patients with each other as well as to a subset of patients with FFR-positive and PCI-treated intermediate lesions on future MACE.
Patients with kidney, or renal, failure require life-saving treatment with regular dialysis. Dialysis is a form of treatment that simulates some kidney functions; to remove harmful waste products and extra water from the blood. Almost one-third of people with kidney failure also have diabetes, as diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease in the United Kingdom, usually due to poor blood sugar control over a long period of time. Malnutrition is common in patients needing dialysis due to kidney failure causing fatigue, taste changes and a build up of waste products, which can reduce appetite. Treatment of malnutrition involves increasing both the energy and protein intake from food and drinks, and milk-drink style specialist nutrition drinks are often given to dialysis patients due to their specific dietary needs. These nutrition drinks can increase blood sugar levels and optimal control for diabetes may be difficult. This research study aims to measure the blood sugar response to a "slow-release" sugar nutrition drink specifically designed for dialysis patients, which may result in a lower blood sugar level, compared to standard nutrition drinks, consumed during a dialysis session. 28 patients with diabetes and having regular dialysis treatment will enrol in the study. Patients will be asked to drink 1 of 3 different nutrition drinks, once a week for 3 weeks during their regular dialysis treatment. Blood sugar levels will be measured from the blood samples taken from the patient's circulation directly before it enters the dialysis machine over 3 hours and the maximum blood sugar reading and total blood sugar response will be measured. Differences between the 3 drinks will be tested statistically. The results will help to advise patients with diabetes and kidney failure on the most suitable type of nutrition drink to consume during dialysis.
The study will be conducted in crossover trial, with two 12-weeks periods separated by a Wash-out period of at least one month. According to randomization ,patients will be provided with either Diabeloop system or the usual system. Patients will be trained for the use of blood glucose meter, of external Insulin Pump and Diabeloop system. In both treatment periods, the same blood glucose meter will be used throughout the duration of the study. In two centers (Centre Hospitalier Sud-Francilien and Grenoble), a pre-study will be performed during four weeks to improve the efficacy of Diabeloop system with data collection, to test the manual settings by health care providers and patients and to check the good-working of the follow-up platform.
This purpose of this study is to define the metabolic characteristics of individuals with Lean Diabetes. We aim to determine whether differences in body composition, including any differences in lipid (fat) deposition, exist compared to individuals with either known forms of diabetes (eg, type 1 and type 2), or individuals without diabetes. Diabetes affects the ability of the body to process glucose (sugar). Therefore, we also plan to investigate the ability of the hormone insulin to regulate changes in glucose in these individuals. Developing a greater understanding of the features of this condition could have tremendous therapeutic benefit for these individuals.
The TELEPIED project aims to show that it is possible to reduce the number of hospitalization days of a patient with ulcers of the foot thanks to a new organization of care, based on the intervention of a coordinating nurse interacting with the nurse in charge of the patient thanks to a telemedicine tool allowing the transfer of photos and ensuring itself a regular follow-up of the evolution of the wound and adapting the support nurse to the home if necessary. It is a monocenter, randomized, in parallel study, in 180 diabetic patients with ulcers of the foot. Patients included in the conventional group will be followed according to the usual practice Patients included in the "telepied" group will benefit from a personalized accompaniment by a nurse referring to diabetic foot ulcers who will guide and advise the nurse at home by acting by delegating tasks of the investigator. The patient will be visited by the referring nurse every 15 days. During these visits, the referring nurse will have the objective to evaluate the evolution of the ulcer as well as the care performed. This visit also allows a close personalized accompaniment for the patient, who will benefit from an education adapted to the characteristics of ulcer (discharge modalities for example ..) and its way of life. Every patients will be followed for one year (12 months).
In this study, patients will be prospectively enrolled for data collection to design prediction models that integrate claims data (inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy), electronic health record data (on clinical, social, and behavioral indicators), and patient-generated activity data. Patients will be randomized to use either a smartphone or a wearable activity tracking device to capture patient-generated health data.
