Context:
Identification of CV risk factors from T2DM diagnosis allows optimization of treatment to prevent CV complications and death.
Objective:
The primary objective of the study was to describe the CV risk factors in patients with T2DM at the time of diagnosis and/or therapeutic specific measures taken.
Design:
This was a non-interventional, multicenter, retrospective chart review of newly diagnosed patients with T2DM in 49 study centers in Romania.
Subjects And Methods:
Adults with a diagnosis of T2DM between January - December 2014. Statistical analysis used appropriate descriptive methods.
Results:
1218 patients were included, mean age (SD) at diagnosis was 59.16 (10.87) years. Half of the patients (54%) presented obesity and 47.7% of patients had arterial hypertension. Overall, 76.2% of subjects had LDL-cholesterol ≥ 100 mg/dL, and 59.1% had triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL. The mean glycemia was 198.8 mg/dL (78.3) and 50.2% of patients had HbA1c ≥7%. Sedentary lifestyle in 73.8% of the cases, and 91.3% unhealthy eating habits reported. In addition to diet, 82.2% of patients received anti-diabetes treatment, 62.6% lipid-lowering, and 66.6% anti-hypertensive medication.
Conclusion:
This retrospective study showed a high prevalence of CV risk factors and/or established CV disease at the time of T2DM diagnosis in Romania.
