Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:50. [PMID: 36935502 PMCID: PMC10026512 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01015-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) is not only a macrovascular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality among individuals with T2DM. Reducing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is crucial for the management of patients with CHD. This study aimed to investigate the effect of glycemic control on CHD severity and 3-point MACE (3p-MACE) risk in patients with T2DM and CHD. METHODS 681 patients with both T2DM and CHD throughout October 2017 and October 2021 who were hospitalized in the second affiliated hospital of Nanchang university were included. A total of 300 patients were eventually enrolled in this retrospective cohort research. The severity of CHD in these patients was assessed, and the primary outcome during follow-up was recorded, with the primary result being the 3-point major adverse cardiovascular event (3p-MACE). The correlation between baseline glycated hemoglobin A1c (b-HbA1c) and the severity of CHD was evaluated by logistic regression analysis. The effect of b-HbA1c and follow-up HbA1c (f-HbA1c) levels on the risk of 3p-MACE were investigated by cox regression analysis. RESULTS b-HbA1c was positively correlated with the severity of CHD (r = 0.207, p = 0.001), and patients with b-HbA1c > 9% were more likely to have severe CHD. The HRs for b-HbA1c and f-HbA1c on the risk of 3p-MACE were 1.24 (95% CI 0.94-1.64, p = 0.123) and 1.32 (95% CI 1.02-1.72, p = 0.036), respectively. Patients with f-HbA1c ≥8.6% had a higher risk of 3p-MACE than f-HbA1c < 8.6% (HR = 1.79, 95% CI 1.16-2.79, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION In patients with both T2DM and CHD, b-HbA1c was an independent predictive factor of severe CHD. f-HbA1c was an independent predictive factor of 3p-MACE. Having the f-HbA1c below 8.6% significantly reduced the risk of 3p-MACE.

The TELE-DD Randomised Controlled Trial on Treatment Adherence in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Comorbid Depression: Clinical Outcomes after 18-Month Follow-Up. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 20:328. [PMID: 36612650 PMCID: PMC9819481 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20010328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Clinical depression is associated with poorer adherence to hypoglycaemic medication in patients with diabetes mellitus, leading to poorer glycaemic control, diabetes management, and increased complications. The main aim of the TELE-DD trial was to demonstrate the efficacy of a proactive and psychoeducational telephonic intervention based on motivational interviewing and collaborative care to reduce nonadherence and improve prognosis in individuals with diabetes mellitus and concurrent depression. DESIGN The TELE-DD project is a three-phased prospective study including a nested randomised controlled trial. METHODS The baseline cohort included the entire population of adult patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and concurrent depression. A randomised controlled trial was conducted in a selection of patients from the baseline cohort, distributed into a control group (n = 192) and an intervention group (n = 192). Monthly telephonic interventions delivered by specifically trained research nurses were centred on a psychoeducational individualised monitoring protocol including motivational interviewing and collaborative care strategies. Clinical and patient-centred data were systematically collected during an 18-month follow-up including HbA1c, Patient Health Questionnaire, and the Diabetes Distress Scale. RESULTS During the trial, 18-month follow-up HbA1C levels significantly (p < 0.001) decreased in the intervention group at every follow-up from an average of 8.72 (SD:1.49) to 7.03 (SD:1.09), but slightly increased in the control group from 8.65 (SD:1.40) to 8.84 (SD:1.38). Similar positive results were obtained in depression severity and diabetes distress, LDL-cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, but only at the 18-month follow-up in body mass index reduction. CONCLUSIONS This is the first trial to concurrently decrease biological and psychological outcomes with a monthly brief telephonic intervention, pointing out that a combined biopsychosocial intervention and collaborative care strategy is essential for current world health challenges. CLINICALTRIALS gov Identifier: NCT04097483. Patient or Public Contribution: Diabetic patients not belonging to the TELE-DD population or trial sample were consulted during the study design to review and guarantee the clarity and understanding of the trial psychoeducational materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased mortality risk in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, no studies have investigated the impact of the duration of DM on in-hospital mortality. In this study, we evaluated in-hospital mortality in AMI patients according to DM status and its duration. METHODS Using health administrative databases of Lombardy, DM patients≥50 years hospitalized with AMI from 2010 to 2019 were included in the analysis and were stratified according to the duration of DM: <5, 5-10, and > 10 years. The primary endpoint was mortality during AMI hospitalization and the secondary endpoint was 1-year mortality in comparison with No-DM patients. Logistic and Cox regressions analyses were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs, CI 95%) and hazard ratios (HRs, CI 95%) for the outcomes, according to DM status and duration and AMI type (STEMI and NSTEMI). RESULTS Our study cohort comprised 29,566 and 109,247 DM and No-DM patients, respectively. Adjusted ORs and HRs showed a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.43-1.58) and 1-year mortality (HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.46-1.55) in DM patients in comparison with those without. These risks increased progressively with the duration of DM, with the highest risk observed in patients with DM duration ≥ 10 years (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.50-1.69 for in-hospital mortality and HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.53-1.64 for 1-year mortality). These findings were similar in STEMI and in NSTEMI patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that the duration of DM parallels mortality risk in patients hospitalized with AMI, highlighting that DM duration should be considered as an important early prognostic risk factor in patients with AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The mortality of coronary heart disease (CHD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) increased 2–4 times more than non-diabetics because of coronary stenosis. One of the risk factors for CHD in type 2 DM is dyslipidemia. Hypertriglyceridemia plays an important role in atherosclerosis coronary arteries theoretically.
AIM: This study analyzed the parameters of HbA1c and triglyceride levels with the stenosis severity of coronary artery that occurs in type 2 DM patients with CHD that has not been analyzed so far.
METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional observational analytic study. Forty patients of type 2 DM with CHD in Kariadi Hospital on September 2013 were recruited based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. HbA1c level in plasma was measured by turbidimetric immunoassay method. Triglyceride level was measured by enzymatic methods. Coronary stenosis was based on coronary angiography result as percentage. Spearman correlation test was used and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: Mean HbA1c and triglyceride levels were 8.89 ± 1.498 % and 220.97 ± 92.24 mg/dL. The correlation test between HbA1c and triglycerides (TG) level with coronary stenosis, respectively, was p <0.001, r = 0.665; p = 0.001, r = 0.501. In addition, correlation between HbA1c and TG was p = 0.002, r = 0.466.
CONCLUSION: HbA1c and triglyceride levels increase in line with the increasing stenosis severity of coronary heart disease in patients with type 2 DM.

Abstract
Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the main causes of mortality worldwide. We sought to evaluate the correlation between the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and conventional coronary artery risk factors in a large cohort of patients with ACS. Methods: This study included all patients admitted to the coronary care unit with a diagnosis of ACS between 2003 and 2017. The patients were divided into 2 groups: 1) unstable angina and 2) myocardial infarction. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of the risk factors and extension of coronary artery stenosis in patients with ACS according to the Gensini score. Results: Of a total 40 319 patients who presented with ACS, 18 862 patients (mean age =60.4±11.14 y, male: 67.2%) underwent conventional coronary angiography and met our criteria to enter the final analysis. The median of the Gensini score was 50 (25–88) in the study population. The multivariable analysis showed that age, sex, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, family history, cigarette smoking, opium consumption, and myocardial infarction increased the risk of positive Gensini scores. All the aforementioned risk factors, except cigarette smoking and opium consumption, increased the severity of stenosis in those with positive Gensini scores. The strongest relationship was seen vis-à-vis myocardial infarction, sex, and diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that age, sex, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, family history, and myocardial infarction have significant effects on the severity of CAD. The obesity paradox in relation to CAD should be taken into consideration and needs further investigation in patients with ACS.

Abstract
Background The predictive value of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in non-diabetic patients with myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still controversial. This study aimed to evaluate whether HbA1c levels were independently associated with adverse clinical outcomes in non-diabetic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who had undergone PCI by performing a meta-analysis of cohort studies. Methods This meta-analysis included non-diabetic patients with CAD who had undergone PCI. A systematic search for publications listed in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from commencement to December 2018 was conducted. Studies evaluating the adverse clinical outcomes according to abnormal HbA1c levels in non-diabetic patients diagnosed with CAD who had undergone PCI were eligible. The primary outcomes were long-term all-cause deaths and long-term major adverse cardiac events, and the secondary outcome was short-term all-cause deaths. The meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.3 and Stata software 14.0. Odds ratios (ORs) were pooled using a random or fixed-effects model, depending on the heterogeneity of the included studies. Sub-group analysis or sensitivity analysis was conducted to explore potential sources of heterogeneity, when necessary. Results Six prospective cohort studies involving 10,721 patients met the inclusion criteria. From the pooled analysis, abnormal HbA1c levels were associated with increased risk for long-term all-cause death (OR 1.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16–1.68, P = 0.001, I2 = 45%). Sub-group analysis suggested that abnormal HbA1c levels between 6.0% and 6.5% predicted higher long-term major adverse cardiac event (including all-cause deaths, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, target vessel revascularization, recurrent acute myocardial infarction, heart failure requiring hospitalization, and stent thrombosis) risk (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.46–2.87, P < 0.001, I2 = 0). Contrarily, elevated HbA1c levels were not associated with increased risk of short-term all-cause death (OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.88–1.54, P = 0.300, I2 = 0). Conclusions An abnormal HbA1c level is an independent risk factor for long-term adverse clinical events in non-diabetic patients with CAD after PCI. Strict control of HbA1c levels may improve patient survival. Further studies in different countries and prospective cohort studies with a large sample size are required to verify the association.

Abstract
Background The association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is strong but the physiologic mechanisms responsible for this association remain unclear. Patients with DM exhibit high circulating levels of glycated proteins and lipoproteins called advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which have been implicated in the development of oxidative damage to vascular endothelium. We examined the relationships between the presence and extent of CAD and AGEs in patients undergoing elective coronary artery catheterization in an urban teaching hospital. Methods Patients with possible CAD (n = 364) were recruited prior to elective cardiac catheterization (52% male, 48% diabetic). Regression and correlation analyses were used to examine the relationship between serum AGE concentrations, soluble AGE receptor (sRAGE) concentration, HbA1c, LDL and the presence of obstructive CAD along with the burden of CAD measured by SYNTAX and SYNTAX II scores. Results AGE and sRAGE levels did not significantly correlate with any of the studied coronary artery disease parameters. HbA1c showed positive correlation with both SYNTAX and SYNTAX II scores in patients with and without diabetes. Conclusion In this cross-sectional study of patients with possible CAD, serum AGEs and sRAGE concentrations did not correlate with SYNTAX or SYNTAX II scores regardless of diabetic status. HbA1C correlated positively with the SYNTAX and SYNTAX II scores in both diabetic and non-diabetic populations.

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to explore leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in the prediction of the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials & methods: A total of 359 CAD patients who underwent coronary angiography were enrolled in this study. Severity of coronary artery was assessed by Gensini score (GS). Results: LTL is negatively correlated with GS (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient = -0.335; p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression results showed that LTL was an independent predictor of high GS (p = 0.001). Area under the curve value of LTL for predicting high GS was 0.659 (p < 0.001). Conclusion: LTL could be considered as a potential predictor of the severity of coronary artery in patients with CAD.

Abstract
Background The combined effects of diabetes mellitus (DM), admission plasma glucose (APG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels on predicting long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) are unknown. Therefore, we evaluated their combined effects on long-term clinical outcomes in STEMI patients treated with pPCI. Methods In total, 350 consecutive patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI were enrolled. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to DM history and APG and HbA1c levels. The cumulative rates of 24-month all-cause deaths and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) were calculated. Results Both the incidence of all-cause deaths and cumulative rates of MACCEs were significantly the lowest in patients without a DM history and admission HbA1c level < 6.5%. DM patients with poor glycemic control or stress hyperglycemia on admission experienced the highest rates of all-cause deaths, MACCEs, and cardiac deaths. Admission HbA1c levels, Triglyceride (TG) levels, hemoglobin levels, DM history, and admission Killip class > 1 correlated with 24-month all-cause death; HbA1c levels on admission, DM history, APG levels, history of stroke, history of coronary heart disease, and TG levels on admission were significantly associated with MACCEs through the 24-month follow-up. The predictive effects of combining DM and APG and HbA1c levels were such that for STEMI patients undergoing pPCI, DM patients with poor glycemic control or with stress hyperglycemia on admission had worse prognosis than other patients. Conclusion Strict control of glycemic status may improve the survival of patients who have both DM and coronary heart diseases.

Ul Amin R, Ahmedani MAM, Karim M, Raheem A. Correlation between Gensini Score and Duration of Diabetes in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography. Cureus 2019; 11:e4010. [PMID: 31001464 PMCID: PMC6450596 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.4010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The relationship between the duration of diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (CAD) is well established. Moreover, the Gensini score system is a reliable assessment tool for the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). After an extensive literature search, we found that there is a knowledge gap about the relationship between the Gensini score and the duration of diabetes in our population. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find the relationship between the Gensini score and the duration of diabetes in patients undergoing a coronary angiography. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 321 consecutively selected diabetic patients. Clinically diagnosed cases of diabetes on proper anti-diabetic treatment were included in this study. Patients with known severe CAD or history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery or primary coronary intervention (PCI) were excluded from the study. Coronary angiography was performed on all the patients and their Gensini score was calculated using the modified scoring schema. Duration of diabetes and other baseline risk factors were recorded for all patients. The relationship between the Gensini score and the duration of diabetes was assessed by calculating Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results A total of 321 diabetic patients were included in this study, out of which 67.9% (218) were men and mean ± standard deviation age was 56.13 ± 7.67 years ranging between 40 to 70 years with a majority of the patients, 63.9% (205), being under 60 years of age. Along with diabetes, the most commonly observed risk factor was hypertension, which was observed in 77.6% (249) of the patients. Smoking and obesity were also observed in 18.7% (60) and 17.4% (56) of the patients, respectively. A significant positive correlation, 0.55 (p<0.001), was observed between the duration of diabetes and the Gensini scores. The correlation was found to be stronger in older patients (more than 60 years of age) with a correlation coefficient of 0.52 vs. 0.38, and male patients with correlation coefficients of 0.66 vs. 0.34. Conclusion A significant positive correlation between the Gensini score and the duration of diabetes mellitus was observed. This correlation is relatively stronger among male and older patients (more than 60 years of age).

Diabetologia 2018; 61:1946-1955. [PMID: 29860628 PMCID: PMC6096629 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-018-4645-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2018] [Accepted: 04/30/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to examine whether cognitive function in early and later life, and decline in cognitive function from age 70 to 79 years, are associated with high blood glucose, as measured by HbA1c, at baseline (age 70), and changes in blood glucose from age 70 to 79. METHODS Participants (n = 1091) in the Lothian Birth Cohort of 1936 were examined. Fourteen tests were used to assess cognitive functions, grouped into four domains: visuospatial ability, processing speed, memory and crystallised ability. Test results, and measurements of HbA1c and other health variables, were collected at each of four waves of assessment: at the mean age of 70, 73, 76 and 79 years. Data on cognitive function at age 11 was also available for this cohort. Latent growth curve modelling was performed and statistical controls for known risk factors were introduced. RESULTS Higher age 11 cognitive function predicted lower HbA1c level at age 70 (p < 0.001). Higher cognitive function at age 70 was related to a comparatively smaller increase in HbA1c levels from age 70 to 79 (p < 0.001). HbA1c from age 70 to 79 did not have any consistent association with change in cognitive function from age 70 to 79. These associations survived adjustments for age, sex, education, APOE*ε4, smoking history, cardiovascular disease history, hypertension history, BMI and corrections for multiple testing. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our results show that, among older individuals, high blood glucose is consistently predicted by lower cognitive function. Clinical care that examines and tracks cognitive function, while also taking the positive effects of maintaining cognitive function and emulating healthy behaviours associated with higher cognitive function into account, may be one approach for protecting at-risk individuals from elevated blood glucose and subsequent type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac adversity is by far the commonest cause of mortality in patients with diabetes. Cardiac involvement in diabetes commonly manifest as coronary artery disease (CAD). Definitive diagnosis,precise assessment and anatomic severity of CAD requires invasive diagnostic modality like coronary angiography. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To study angiographic extents, type of vessels, number of vessels, severity involving coronary artery and its branches in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Compare the same in diabetics and non diabetics with ACS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hundred patients with ACS,50 diabetics and 50 nondiabetics admitted in Bapuji Hospital ICCU attached to J.J.M. Medical College were selected randomly during a period of approximately one and half years formed the study group. RBS, FBS was done in all 100 pateints, HbA1c in all diabetics. All subjects with ACS were taken up for coronary angiography. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Chi-square test was used to determine any significant difference between two groups. p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS In our study 22 (44%) out of 50 diabetic patients had triple or multi-vessel disease compared to 8 (16%) out of 50 non diabetics. Hundred patients with ACS, number of vessels involved were 199, of which 61.3% in diabetics and 38.6% in non diabetics, 23(46%) of 50 diabetic patients required CABG as treatment outcome. HbA1c levels of >8.5%, 69.2% had triple / multi vessel disease and 19 (73.1%) of 23 patients who had to undergo CABG had HbA1c levels >8.5%, 24% of diabetics were in third decade, 40% were in fourth decade as compared to 10% and 26% of non-diabetics of similar age group. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION This study showed that ACS in diabetic patients presented much earlier in life, the severity and extent of CAD and incidence of triple/multi vessel disease was significantly high in diabetics when compared to nondiabetics with ACS. Diabetics with high HbA1c had more number of coronary vessel involvement and the mode of treatment required in them was CABG.

Abstract
Background Glycosylated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) has been widely recognized as a marker for predicting the severity of diabetes mellitus (DM) and several cardiovascular diseases. However, whether HbA1c could predict the severity and clinical outcomes in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) remains largely unknown. We determine relationship of HbA1c with severity and outcome in patients with stable CAD. Methods We enrolled 1433 patients with stable angina who underwent coronary angiography and were followed up for an average 12 months. The patients were classified into three groups by tertiles of baseline HbA1c level (low group <5.7%, n = 483; intermediate group 5.7 - 6.3%, n = 512; high group >6.3%, n = 438). The relationships between the plasma HbA1c and severity of CAD and early clinical outcomes were evaluated. Results High HbA1c was associated with three-vessel disease. Area under the receivers operating characteristic curve (AUC = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.63-0.71, P < 0.001) and multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that HbA1C was an independent predictor of severity of CAD (OR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.29-1.99, P < 0.001) even after adjusting for gender, age, risk factor of CAD, lipid profile and fasting blood glucose. During follow-up, 133 patients underwent pre-specified outcomes. After adjusting for multiple variables in the Cox regression model, HbA1C remained to be an independent predictor of poor prognosis (HR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.12-1.45, P < 0.001). Conclusions We concluded that high level of baseline HbA1c appeared to be an independent predictor for the severity of CAD and poor outcome in patients with stable CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the association of diabetes duration with self-reported coronary heart disease (CHD) in Korea. METHODS Among data from 34,145 persons compiled in the third Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2005, laboratory test and nutritional survey data from 5,531 persons were examined. The participants were asked to recall a physician's diagnosis of CHD (angina or myocardial infarction). RESULTS Age- and sex-adjusted relative risk for CHD was 1.51 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64 to 3.59; not significant) for diabetes with duration of <1 year, 2.27 (95% CI, 1.14 to 4.54; P=0.020) for diabetes with a duration of 1 to 5 years, and 3.29 (95% CI, 1.78 to 6.08; P<0.001) for diabetes with a duration >5 years, compared with non-diabetes as a control. Even after adjusting for age, sex, current smoking status, waist circumference, hypertension, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting plasma glucose, relative risk for CHD was 2.87 (95% CI, 1.01 to 8.11; P=0.047) in diabetes with a duration of 6 to 10 years and 4.07 (95% CI, 1.73 to 9.63; P=0.001) in diabetes with duration of >10 years with non-diabetes as a control. CONCLUSION CHD prevalence increased with an increase in diabetes duration in Korean men and women. Recently detected diabetes (duration <1 year) was not significantly associated with CHD prevalence compared to non-diabetes. However, diabetes of a duration of >5 years was associated with an increase in CHD compared to non-diabetics after adjusting for several CHD risk factors.

Abstract
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education common program requirements for Practice-based Learning and Improvement in Internal Medicine specify that trainees must "systematically analyze [his/her] practice using quality improvement methods, and implement changes with the goal of practice improvement" and that the training program "must include use of performance data" in the assessment of the resident's practice. Before implementation of an electronic health record at our academic medical center, we found meeting these requirements to be challenging. This prompted us to set up the New Innovations (New Innovations, Inc, Uniontown, OH) Software Suite's Patient Continuity module to permit analysis and tracking of both quality of care indicators and patient continuity. By using the system, our residents were better able to monitor their patient panel sizes and composition and to correlate their practices with quality of care data. Residency programs, which currently utilize New Innovations software but lack an electronic health record, may find the continuity clinic module useful for engaging their house staff in structured practice improvement initiatives and in satisfying the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's common program requirements for practice-based learning.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus is accompanied by chronic and dangerous microvascular changes affecting most body systems, especially the eye, leading to diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy without appropriate management is emerging as one of the leading causes of blindness. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, reduce the risk of blindness, and identify relevant risk factors. Methods This descriptive study was designed to estimate the prevalence of retinopathy and its staging in diabetic patients attending the diabetes clinic at King Fahd Hospital in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from 2008 to 2010. Patients completed a questionnaire, underwent a full medical assessment carried out by the treating clinicians, and were examined for evidence of diabetic retinopathy using standard ophthalmic outpatient instruments. Results In total, 690 randomly selected diabetic patients of mean age 46.10 ± 11.85 (range 16–88) years were included, comprising 395 men (57.2%) of mean age 46.50 ± 11.31 years and 295 women (42.8%) of mean age 45.55 ± 12.53 years. The mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 11.91 ± 7.92 years in the women and 14.42 ± 8.20 years in the men, and the mean total duration of known diabetes mellitus was 13.35 ± 8.17 years. Glycated hemoglobin was higher in men (8.53% ± 1.81%) than in women (7.73% ± 1.84%), and this difference was statistically significant (P ≤ 0.0001). Of the 690 diabetic patients, 249 (36.1%) had retinopathy. Mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy was present in 13.6% of patients, being of moderate grade in 8% and of severe grade in 8.1%. A further 6.4% had proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Conclusion Regular screening to detect diabetic retinopathy is strongly recommended because early detection has the best chance of preventing retinal complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of prior duration of diabetes, glycated hemoglobin level at study entry, and microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria on the extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied baseline characteristics of the 2368 participants of the BARI 2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes) study, a randomized clinical trial that evaluates treatment efficacy for patients with type 2 diabetes and angiographically documented stable CAD. Patients were enrolled from January 1, 2001, through March 31, 2005. Peripheral arterial disease was ascertained by an ankle-brachial index (ABI) of 0.9 or less, and extent of CAD was measured by presence of multivessel disease, a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 50%, and myocardial jeopardy index. RESULTS Duration of diabetes of 20 or more years was associated with increased risk of ABI of 0.9 or less (odds ratio [OR], 1.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-2.26), intermittent claudication (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.10-2.35), and LVEF of less than 50% (OR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.37-3.02). Microalbuminuria was associated with intermittent claudication (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.16-2.02) and ABI of 0.9 or less (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 0.98-1.75), whereas macroalbuminuria was associated with abnormal ABI, claudication, and LVEF of less than 50%. There was a significant association between diabetes duration and extent of CAD as manifested by number of coronary lesions, but no other significant associations were observed between duration of disease, glycated hemoglobin levels, or albumin-to-creatinine ratio and other manifestations of CAD. CONCLUSION Duration of diabetes and microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria are important predictors of severity of peripheral arterial disease and left ventricular dysfunction in a cohort of patients selected for the presence of CAD.
