Study Overview
Brief Summary
- It is a prospective,observational, cohort study
- The main purpose of the study is to assess the prevalence of diabetic chronic complications in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics in suburban area of Algiers.
- The secondary purpose is to study the impact of diabetic renal complications as a risk factor on the atherothrombotic events.
Detailed Description
To reach the two purposes, we need to conduct a cohort study:
-
The cohort population is type 2 diabetes patients that have been recruited in a consecutive and exhaustive way. The first consultation is performed in hospital or in one of 12 primary care units of Ain-Taya's health sector in Est suburb of Algiers . When a glycemia is found at 1.26 g/litre or over, the patient is referred to principal investigator to confirm the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes ,to recruit him and proceed to complete screening for chronic complications
-
For the main purpose, we evaluate the prevalence of micro and macrovascular complications, at the time of diagnosis, in type2 diabetes patients that have been recruited. For some complications as Diabetic Kidney Disease, we have to follow up the patient at least three months to confirm the chronic nature of the nephropathy.
-
For the secondary purpose, the cohort population is followed up for one year, the patients are treated commonly. We'll check out all the cardiovascular events linked to atherothrombosis.Two groups of patients might be formed:
-
The first group is composed of all diabetic patients, with chronic Kidney disease (CKD) and without atherothrombotic disease. CKD is defined by albuminuria (micro or macroalbuminuria) and/or renal failure, present for more than 3 months . All the patients with CKD are considered to be "exposed" to atherothrombotic disease.
-
The second group is composed of all diabetic patients, without CKD and without atherothrombotic disease. This group is considered to be "not exposed" to the atherothrombotic disease.
We will compare the two groups, on occurence of cardiovascular events, after adjustment of age and major cardiovascular risk factors, and after excluding patients 'not exposed' having had a prior treatment with conversion enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor antagonist .
- The size of the sample is calculated with statistical formula:

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Patients With Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy
Time Frame: at recruitment
* Conditions of the Ewing tests: fasting, resting at least 30mn, no hypoglycemia and no effort within 24hours, no drugs that interfere with heart rate. * Ewing Tests for cardiac autonomic neuropathy: Beat-to-Beat heart rate variation, Heart rate response to standing, Heart rate response to valsalva maneuver, Systolic blood pressure response to standing. All tests have been performed with the same physician and aid
Number and Prevalence of Patients With Diabetic Retinopathy
Time Frame: At recruitment
* Conventional ophtalmoscopy has been used to screen for diabetic retinopathy by an ophtalmologist at his office. * Retinal angiography was performed if indicated by the ophtalmologist
Number of Patients With Silent Myocardial Ischemia
Time Frame: At recruitment
* 9 derivations resting electrocardiogram (ECG) * Echocardiography * Standard ECG stress test * Stress Myocardial Perfusion scintigraphy if patients are not able to perform ECG stress test * Coronary angiography if the exercise ECG stress test or stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy suggest high probability of coronary heart disease
Number of Patients With Renal Artery Stenosis or Elevated Intrarenal Resistance Index
Time Frame: At recruitment
- Renal artery duplex ultrasonography has been performed only if the patient presents a resistant hypertension treated with four drugs, including a diuretic or if blood pressure was over 180/10 mm Hg at recruitement.
Number of Patients With Lower Extremity Artery Disease
Time Frame: At recruitment
* Search for history of intermittent claudication * Complete vascular examination with Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) measurement. * Lower limb duplex ultrasonography.
Number of Patients With Erectile Dysfunction
Time Frame: at recruitment
- Questionary: onset , drug use, medical history, psycho- social conditions
Number of Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Time Frame: At recruitment
* We screened for albuminuria or microalbuminuria in 24h urine collection with turbidimetry or immuno turbidimetry method ( performed 3 times in 4 or 6 months ) * Measurement of albumine- to- creatinine ratio (ACR), Albuminuria was diagnosed if ACR \> or egal to 30 mg/g at least twice in 4 to 6 months. We ensure before performing ACR that there was no dysglycaemia, no urinary infection, no fever nor forced diuresis before we evaluate the urine sample. * Cyto bacteriological examination and urine culture * Serum creatinine repeated 2 to 3 time within 4 to 6 months * Glomerular filtration rate was assessed with the Modification of Diet in Renal disease study equation (MDRD) * Renal and urine tract echography to measure the kidneys and to screen for urine tract dilatation We made the diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) if the glomerular filtration rate was \< 60 ml/min/1.73 m² and/or ACR \> or equal to 30 mg/g with a permanent character
Number of Patients With Distal Diabetic Neuropathy
Time Frame: At recruitment
All 327 patients had a neurological examination by the same physician to screen for Distal Diabetic Neuropathy: * Distal sensory testing: including 10 g monofilament test, vibration perception with 128 Hz tuning fork, temperature, touch , prickling and pain perception * Ankles and knees reflex testing * Muscle strength testing (quadriceps and tibialis anterior) * We use the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument score. We consider the diagnosis of Distal Diabetic Neuropathy if the score is up of 2 in at least one food. The MNSI score is ranged from 0 to 5 for each food * Use of neuropathic pain score (DN4), if the DN4 is found up or egal to 4 we consider the diagnosis of neuropathic pain. The DN4 score is ranged from 0 to 10
Number of Patients With Hypertension
Time Frame: At recruitment
* Blood pressure measurement by electronic tensiometer (OMRON 3 or 4) on the right and left arm, after 10 mn of supine position. * Three measures were performed with respect of one minute interval between each measure. * Mean blood pressure is calculated * Three other measures are performed in Three ulterior consultations * Hypertension is diagnosed if the mean blood pressure \>= 140 /90 mm Hg
Number of Patients With Carotid Artery Stenosis
Time Frame: At recruitment
* Screening for carotid murmur at clinical examination by the same physician for all patients * Carotid duplex ultrasonography with intima-media thickness measurement. All atherosclerotic lesions were reported.
Number of Patients With Bladder Autonomic Neuropathy
Time Frame: at recruitment
* History of recurrent urine tract infection and/or dysuria and/or incomplete bladder emptying * Post voiding residual(PVR) measurement with abdominal echography by a radiologist * Cystomanometry is performed if PVR \> 50 ml * In men the prostatic measurement was made in all patients. In women, we measured the volume of uterus.
Number of Patients With Gastro-intestinal Autonomic Neuropathy
Time Frame: at recruitment
* We interviewed all patient, looking for a history of post prandial discomfort or bad gastric emptying sensation or vomiting or unexplained diarrhea or constipation * We performed an endoscopic examination to exclude other causes in patients with a positive history of gastro-intestinal troubles.
