Abstract Background Kidney disease is associated with an increased total mortality and cardiovascular morbimortality in the general population patients Type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study to determine prevalence kidney different types renal type diabetes (T2DM). Methods Cross-sectional a random sample 2,642 T2DM cared for primary care during 2007. Studied variables: demographic clinical characteristics, pharmacological treatments complications (diabetic foot, retinopathy, coronary heart...
Control of glycaemic levels as well cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) is essential to prevent the onset complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).To describe degree control and CVRF in relation duration.Multicentre cross-sectional study T2DM patients seen primary care centres during 2007.Demographical clinical characteristics, antidiabetic treatments development disease complications. Diabetes duration classification: 0-5, 6-10, 11-20 >20 years. Logistic regression...
The presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases the risk cardiovascular (CVD) regardless traditional factors. There is controversy about impact each manifestations CKD on prevalence CVD, whether it greater with decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or increased urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR). This study a national cross-sectional performed primary care consults. We selected participants both sexes who were aged 40 years older,...
Background The significant rise in the prevalence of obesity coincides with considerable increase metabolic syndrome (MS) currently being observed worldwide. components MS are not static and their dynamics, such as order occurrence, or time exposure to them are, yet, unknown but could well be clinically relevant. Our objective was study dynamic behaviour its a large population-based cohort from Mediterranean region. Methods findings employed retrospective (between January 1, 2005 December...

To assess prescribing practices of noninsulin antidiabetic drugs (NIADs) in T2DM with several major contraindications according to information or clinical guidelines: renal failure, heart liver dysfunction, history bladder cancer. Methods Cross-sectional, descriptive, multicenter study. Electronic medical records were retrieved from all subjects who attended primary care centers pertaining the Catalan Health Institute Catalonia 2013 and pharmacologically treated any NIAD alone...
The aim of this study was to assess glycaemic control and prescribing practices antihyperglycaemic treatment in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 aged 75 years or older.We analysed data from health electronic records 4,581 persons attended at primary healthcare centres the Institut Català de la Salut (ICS), Girona Sud area Catalonia, Spain, during 2013 2016. Variables such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), duration, age diagnosis, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), creatinine,...
Aim This study aimed to investigate whether different levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in prediabetes are associated with hyperfiltration. Methods A prospective cohort 2,022 individuals aged 30–74 years took part the PREDAPS Study. One 1,184 participants another 838 normal FPG HbA1c were followed for 5 years. Hyperfiltration was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) above age- gender-specific 95th percentile healthy control participants,...
To describe the distribution of Type 2 DM retinal lesions and determine whether it is symmetrical between two eyes, random or follows a certain pattern.Cross-sectional study patients who had been referred for an outpatients' ophthalmology visit diabetic retinopathy screening in primary health care. Retinal photographic images were taken using central projection non-mydriatic retinography. The under microaneurysms/haemorrhages, hard soft exudates. placed numerically along x- y-axes obtained,...
Some authors consider that secondary prevention should be conducted for all DM2 patients, while others suggest the drug preventive treatment start or increased depending on each patient’s individual CVR, estimated using cardiovascular coronary risk functions to identify patients with a higher CVR. The principal objective of this study was assess three different prediction models in type 2 diabetes patients. Multicentre, cross-sectional descriptive 3,041 and no history disease. demographic,...
Background. There are no studies assessing cardiovascular morbidity/mortality in patients with isolated clinical hypertension (ICH) self‐blood pressure monitoring (SBPM). Objectives. To determine the value of SBPM diagnosis ICH. Methods. Cohort study. New hypertensive and normotensive 15–75 years, without events history. Variables. Oriented anamnesis hypertension; blood measurements (BP): BP, ambulatory BP (ABPM); evaluation target organ damage (TOD); electrocardiogram; retinography...
