Background and Objective: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) who are at multiple atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factor (RF) targets have &gt;50% lower ASCVD risks. Limited “real world” data exists on how often such targets are reached. We studied multiple RF target attainment for ASCVD prevention and its indicators in a contemporary DM registry.
Methods: We determined in the U.S. Diabetes Collaborative Registry those at target for HbA1c (&lt;7.0% or &lt;8.0% if with ASCVD), LDL-C (&lt;100 or &lt;70 mg/dl if ASCVD), blood pressure (&lt;130/80 and &lt;140/90 mmHg), and nonsmoking status by sex, race, and prior history of ASCVD. Multiple logistic regression examined indicators of target attainment.
Results: In 45,134 persons with DM (mean age 68.7 years, 41% female) the Table shows achievement of RF targets. Age (&gt;65 [odds ratio, OR=2.3] or 55-64 [OR=1.5] vs. &lt;55), male sex (OR=1.3), white race (OR=1.4), moderate/high intensity statin use (OR=1.2), middle or high income (OR’s 1.2 and 1.4), and (inversely) private insurance (OR=0.9), depression (OR=0.8), and multiple DM medications (OR= 0.9) (all p&lt;0.to p&lt;0.001) were independently associated with being at all 4 targets (including BP&lt;130/80 mmHg).
Conclusions: Less than 1 in 6 U.S. adults with DM are achieving comprehensive RF control. Multifactorial interventions will be necessary to optimize the prevention of ASCVD.
