OBJECTIVE Widespread use of carbohydrate counting is limited by its complex education. In this study we compared a Diabetes Interactive Diary (DID) with standard in terms metabolic and weight control, time required for education, quality life, treatment satisfaction. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Adults type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to DID (group A, n = 67) or education B, 63) followed 6 months. A subgroup also completed the SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36) World Organization-Diabetes...
OBJECTIVE—To describe patterns of diabetes care and implement benchmarking activities at the national level. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A total 86 clinics participated, all using electronic medical records. Quality indicators were identified, software was developed, enabling extraction information needed for quality-of-care profiling. RESULTS—Overall, 114,249 patients with type 2 seen during 2004. A1C measured least once in 88.0% patients, lipid profile 64.6%, blood pressure 77.2%,...
OBJECTIVE The QUASAR (Quality Assessment Score and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Italian Diabetes Patients) study aimed to assess whether a quality-of-care summary score predicted the development of cardiovascular (CV) events patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In 67 diabetes clinics, data on randomly selected were extracted from electronic medical records. was calculated using process outcome indicators based monitoring, targets, treatment A1C, blood pressure, LDL...
Background: Widespread use of carbohydrate (CHO) counting is limited by its complex educational needs, but a telemedicine system could simplify the patients' training. Methods: The Diabetes Interactive Diary (DID) was set up on mobile phones and allowed to record blood glucose values quantify total CHO intake during meal, choosing specific food amount ingested from list pictures. It also suggested most appropriate insulin bolus in relation patient's CHO/insulin ratio. Data were sent...
Diabet. Med. 27, 1041–1048 (2010) Abstract Aims We evaluated the impact of a continuous quality improvement effort implemented by network Italian diabetes clinics operating in national healthcare system. Methods This was controlled before‐and‐after study involving 95 centres, which 67 joined initiative since 2004 (group A) and 18 were first involved 2007 B, control). All centres used electronic medical record systems. Information on indicators extracted for period 2004–2007. Data centrally...
We compared telecare and conventional self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) programs for titrating the addition of one bolus injection insulin glulisine in patients with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled on oral hypoglycemic agents ≥3 months who were first titrated basal glargine.This randomized, multicenter, parallel-group study included 241 (mean screening glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA(1c)], 8.8% [73 mmol/mol]). In run-in phase, any antidiabetes medication, except metformin, was discontinued....
Background. We evaluated to what extent the presence of risk factors and their interactions increased likelihood microalbuminuria (MAU) among individuals with type 2 diabetes.
To use baseline characteristics of the Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation in people with type 2 Diabetes on Insulin Therapy study population to identify factors that could explain choice insulin therapy when beginning insulin.
Background: The efficacy/safety of device-supported versus routine titration with Gla-300 in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was evaluated. Method: AUTOMATIX a 16-week, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, multicenter, noninferiority trial insulin-treated or insulin-naïve people T2DM. fasting self-monitored plasma glucose (FSMPG) target 90-130 mg/dL (5.0-7.2 mmol/L). Primary endpoint: proportion participants achieving FSMPG at week 16 without severe hypoglycemia. Secondary endpoints included:...
To investigate the relationship between beliefs of physicians relative to intensive metabolic control in type 2 diabetes and levels HbA1c obtained a sample their patients.Physicians' were investigated through questionnaire sent self-selected clinicians participating nationwide initiative aimed at assessing quality care delivered patients with outcomes. At same time, asked collect clinical data on random patients, stratified by age (<65 vs. > or = 65 years). Mean study population thus...
In the context of DAWN-2 initiatives, BENCH-D Study aims to test a model regional benchmarking improve not only quality diabetes care, but also patient-centred outcomes.As part AMD-Annals improvement program, 32 clinics in 4 Italian regions extracted clinical data from electronic databases for measuring process and outcome indicators. A random sample patients with type 2 filled questionnaire including validated instruments assess indicators: SF-12 Health Survey, WHO-5 Well-Being Index,...
New approaches to cope with clinical and psychosocial aspects of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are needed; gender influences the complex interplay between non-clinical factors. We used data from BENCH-D study assess gender-differences in terms person-centered measures T2DM. Clinical quality care indicators relative control HbA1c, lipid profile, blood pressure, BMI were derived electronic medical records. Ten self-administered validated questionnaires (SF-12 Health Survey; WHO-5 well-being index;...
Abstract Aim In Italy, the ISPED CARD initiative was launched to measure and improve quality of care in children adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Methods Process outcome indicators related information derived from electronic medical records were identified. A network pediatric diabetes centers created on a voluntary basis. Results Overall, 20 provided data 3284 patients aged < = 18 years. HbA1c monitored ≥ 2/year 81.2% cases. BMI 1/year 99.0%, lipid profile 45.3%, blood pressure 91.7%....
