Associations Between Diabetes Care and Haptoglobin Genotype On outComes (ADHOC)

July 15, 2020 updated by: Uzi Milman, Clalit Health Services

The ADHOC Project: Associations Between Diabetes Care and Haptoglobin Genotype On outComes

The ADHOC Cohort comprised 3044 DM individuals, treated in 47 CHS primary care clinics, that underwent haptoglobin genotyping between 2 march, 2005 and 26 September 2006. Individuals were eligible for inclusion if they had DM and were 55 years of age or older. All treatment decisions, regarding all aspects of care and follow-up of the study participants, remained at the discretion of the individual's primary care physician, who was blinded to the individual's Hp type. Hp distribution was: Hp 1-1 285 (9.4%); Hp 2-1 1248 (41.0%); Hp 2-2 1511 (49.6%).

Hypothesis: strict glucose control (HbA1c<7%) reduces the rate of cardiovascular events only to diabetic patients with the Hp 2-2 phenotype. We also postulated that, since Hp 2-2 DM individuals are at an increased genetic susceptibility for cardiovascular disease (CVD), this unique cohort merits an investigation on the associations between various CVD risk variables and CVD events and establish whether any evident association was dependent of the individual's Hp type.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite of major CVD events (non fatal MI, Stroke and CVD death)
Time Frame: Data retrived continuously till end of 2015
Clinical data (eg. BP, weight, smoking, etc) medications use, Lab tests and reports on CVD events will be centrally collected from patient's records and Hospital admission summaries. Admission summaries are retrieved using the computerized systems of Clalit Health Services assuring that whenever a patient in the registry is hospitalized the admission summary is retrieve. An events adjudication committee will assess each event in a blinded fashion to determine the nature of the events.
Data retrived continuously till end of 2015

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Non cardiovascular death
Time Frame: Data retrived continuously till end of 2015
Clinical data (eg. BP, weight, smoking, etc) medications use, Lab tests and reports on CVD events will be centrally collected from patient's records and Hospital admission summaries. Admission summaries are retrieved using the computerized systems of Clalit Health Services assuring that whenever a patient in the registry is hospitalized the admission summary is retrieve. An events adjudication committee will assess each event in a blinded fashion to determine the nature of the events.
Data retrived continuously till end of 2015
Revascularization procedures
Time Frame: Data retrived continuously till end of 2015
