The management of cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes: Insights from an audit of health services providing diabetes care
Aims
To assess cardiovascular risk management among Australians with diabetes.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of clinical audit data collected from diabetes centres participating in the Australian National Diabetes Audit in 2022. Adults (≥18 years) with type 1 or type 2 were included. Clinical performance was assessed by comparing modifiable cardiovascular risk factors against evidence-based clinical targets at the national and diabetes centre level for the total cohort, with sub-analyses by diabetes type, and by cardiovascular disease (CVD) status.
Results
There were 4341 people included; 32.4 % with type 1 and 67.6 % with type 2 diabetes. Of the total cohort, 25.9 % met the HbA1c target (≤7% or 53 mmol/mol), 45.5 % met the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol target (<2 mmol/L), 43.4 % met the systolic blood pressure target (<130 mmHg), 19.8 % met the body mass index target (<25 kg/m2), 30.2 % met the physical activity target (≥150 mins/week of moderate-to-vigorous intensity), and 85.0 % were non-smokers. Compared to patients with type 1 diabetes, patients with type 2 diabetes were less likely to meet targets. Compared to patients without existing CVD, patients with CVD were less likely to meet targets.
Conclusions
Management of cardiovascular risk in adults with diabetes is sub-optimal, increasing the risk of preventable adverse health outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice is an international journal for health-care providers and clinically oriented researchers that publishes high-quality original research articles and expert reviews in diabetes and related areas. The role of the journal is to provide a venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to diabetes clinical research and patient care. Topics of focus include translational science, genetics, immunology, nutrition, psychosocial research, epidemiology, prevention, socio-economic research, complications, new treatments, technologies and therapy.
