Abstract

Abstract:Introduction. This manuscript describes quality improvement interventions with aims (1) to increase identification and follow-up testing of youth with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and (2) to improve outcomes for youth with prediabetes and low-range T2D (HbA1c 6.5–6.9%). Methods. Interventions included (a) dissemination of evidence-based guidelines and (b) creation of in-house weight management (WM) programs and programs to increase prediabetes follow-up testing and T2D self-management. Data from the electronic health record are presented. Results. Between 2009–2020, T2D screening for obese youth increased from 24% to 76%. Two WM programs served 2,726 unique youth for 11,110 billable visits. Youth with prediabetes seen in WM clinic had a lower risk of developing T2D if they attended three or more visits. Teaching self-monitoring blood glucose showed promise for improving HbA1c outcomes in youth with low-range T2D. Conclusions. Interventions have increased identification, access to preventive services, and treatment for youth with prediabetes and T2D.

高危青少年中的 2 型糖尿病：通过十年的质量改进努力，提高社区卫生的识别和干预能力

摘要：导言。本手稿介绍了质量改进干预措施，旨在（1）增加对患有糖尿病前期和 2 型糖尿病（T2D）的青少年的识别和跟踪检测；（2）改善患有糖尿病前期和低范围 T2D（HbA1c 6.5-6.9%）的青少年的治疗效果。方法。干预措施包括：(a) 宣传循证指南；(b) 制定内部体重管理 (WM) 计划和方案，以增加糖尿病前期跟踪检测和 T2D 自我管理。本文介绍了电子健康记录中的数据。结果。2009-2020年间，肥胖青少年的T2D筛查率从24%上升到76%。两项 WM 计划共为 2726 名青少年提供了服务，计费就诊次数达 11110 次。在 WM 诊所就诊的糖尿病前期青少年如果就诊三次或三次以上，患 T2D 的风险较低。教授自我监测血糖的方法有望改善低水平 T2D 青少年的 HbA1c 结果。结论。干预措施增加了对糖尿病前期和 T2D 青少年的识别、预防服务和治疗。
