Platelet Indices and Blood Groups in Type 2 Diabetes Vascular Complications

September 23, 2026 updated by: Nehal Sayed Mohammed Sayed, Assiut University

Association of Platelet Indices and Blood Groups With Vascular Complications in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the association of platelet indices and ABO blood groups with vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Not yet recruiting

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.

Detailed Description

Vascular complications are a major cause of morbidity in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Platelet indices and ABO blood groups may be related to these complications.

This observational study will include adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients will be classified into those with and without vascular complications. Platelet indices (MPV, PDW) and ABO blood groups will be assessed.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Contacts and Locations

This section provides the contact details for those conducting the study, and information on where this study is being conducted.

Study Contact

Study Contact

The name and contact information for the person who can answer enrollment questions for a clinical study. Each location where the study is being conducted may also have a specific contact, who may be better able to answer those questions.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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.
T2DM with Vascular Complications

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have microvascular or macrovascular complications.
T2DM without Vascular Complications

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have no microvascular or macrovascular complications.

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
Mean platelet volume in patients with and without vascular complications
Time Frame: Baseline

Mean platelet volume (MPV) in femtoliters compared between type 2 diabetes patients with vascular complications and those without vascular complications.
Baseline

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
Time Frame
Mean platelet distribution width
Time Frame: Baseline

Mean platelet distribution width (PDW) compared between patients with and without vascular complications.
Baseline
Distribution of ABO blood groups according to vascular complications
Time Frame: Baseline

Frequency and percentage of ABO blood groups in patients with and without vascular complications.
Baseline
Mean platelet volume according to ABO blood group
Time Frame: Baseline

Mean platelet volume (MPV) among different ABO blood groups.
Baseline
Prevalence of microvascular complications
Time Frame: Baseline

Proportion of patients with microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, or neuropathy).
Baseline
Prevalence of macrovascular complications
Time Frame: Baseline

Proportion of patients with macrovascular complications (coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, or peripheral arterial disease).
Baseline

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Estimated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 26, 2026

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
September 26, 2027

Study Completion (Estimated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
