Quality of the Management of Diabetes in Elderly People With Dementia in France (DIA-FRADEM)

August 31, 2021 updated by: University Hospital, Toulouse

Quality of the Management of Diabetes in Elderly People With Dementia in France. Longitudinal Study in the French National Health System Database During 2010-2015

Along with population ageing, the association of chronic conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease and Related Syndromes (ADRS) and diabetes mellitus is increasing in clinical practice. According to ADRS severity, guidelines of diabetes care may be adapted for a personalized monitoring and treatment. The consequences on diabetes complications are not known and can also threaten dementia progression. Based on a nationwide healthcare reimbursement database, the present study aimed to compare diabetes care and the incidence of acute complications between patients with or without ADRS, in a longitudinal perspective focusing on the pivotal period of ADRS identification by the healthcare system.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

65 years and older (Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients included in the FRADEM study : FRADEM is a nationwide case control study conducted through the French national health system database administrative data, the SNDS (systeme national des données de santé). SNDS provies reimbursement data from the entire French general population, whether subjects live at home or in a nursing home, whichever their healthcare schemes, leading to a 97% coverage of the French population in 2011.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • individuals with a first ADRS criterion in 2011 or 2012,
  • prevalent diabetes mellitus, defined by a LTD with ICD-10 codes of diabetes mellitus ("E10-E14").
  • at least one reimbursement in the year preceding inclusion.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Case : ADRS group
Incidence analysis in ADRS group defined by the first recording of one of the following criteria: (i) LTD registration for ADRS (ICD-10 codes: "F00-F03", "G30", or "G31"), (ii) hospital stay reporting a diagnosis code of ADRS (similar ICD-10 codes) or (iii) reimbursement for at least one acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (rivastigmine, galantamine or donepezil) or memantine.
Other: Incidence analysis
Incidence analysis between the 2 groups (ADRS/non ADRS). For each pair, an index date was defined as the ADRS identification date. In both groups, a 5-year period free of these three ADRS criteria was required before the index date, to ensure incident ADRS cases.
Other Names:
  • Standardized Incidence Ratios (SIR)
Control : non ADRS Group
Incidence analysis in non ADRS group. Each incident ADRS case was paired (1:1) to a beneficiary without any ADRS criteria, matched on age (same birth year), sex, residence area (based on of the 100 administrative 'départements') and insurance scheme.
Other: Incidence analysis
Incidence analysis between the 2 groups (ADRS/non ADRS). For each pair, an index date was defined as the ADRS identification date. In both groups, a 5-year period free of these three ADRS criteria was required before the index date, to ensure incident ADRS cases.
Other Names:
  • Standardized Incidence Ratios (SIR)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diabetes control
Time Frame: one year

Given the absence of consensual guidelines describing the frequency of diabetes monitoring among elderly subjects, we defined a conservative minimal threshold as follows: ambulatory biological monitoring :

  • ≥ 1 annual HbA1c determination (primary endpoint)
  • ≥ 2 annual HbA1c determination
  • ≥ 1 annual lipid profile (≥ 1 annual LDL cholesterol, ≥ 1 annual triglyceride)
one year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
