Intervention using vitamin D for elevated urinary albumin in type 2 diabetes mellitus (IDEAL-2 Study): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing worldwide. T2DM is associated with serious macro- and microvascular complications. In particular, diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which begins with excessive urinary albumin excretion, has a significant impact on affected individuals and is costly to healthcare services. Inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) significantly reduces albuminuria in diabetes, but this effect is not observed in all those treated. Active vitamin D analogues have been observed to be reno-protective through inhibition of RAAS in animal and human studies. Therefore, it can be hypothesised that an active vitamin D analogue will have an additional benefit to ACEI/ARB treatment for albuminuria reduction in DKD. METHODS:The planned study is an ongoing non-blinded randomised controlled parallel-group trial examining the impact, in individuals with T2DM, of the addition of bioactive vitamin D (calcitriol) to RAAS inhibition treatment using ACI or ARB on urinary albumin excretion over a period of 26 weeks. The primary outcome measure is the urinary albumin creatinine ratio. It is planned for the study to recruit 320 participants. Other outcome measures of interest include 24-h urine albumin (24 h UA) excretion, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood pressure and quality of life. Safety will be assessed throughout. DISCUSSION:If the addition of calcitriol to RAAS inhibition with ACEI or ARB safely results in a significant reduction in albuminuria, the study adds to the body of evidence supporting a role for vitamin D in reno-protection, will inform clinical practice and could result in significant reduction of healthcare costs associated with DKD.

Project description:BackgroundPatients' evolving critical illness can be predicted and prevented. However, failure to identify the signs of critical illness and subsequent lack of appropriate action for patients developing acute and critical illness remain a problem. Challenges in assessing whether a child is critically ill may be due to children's often uncharacteristic symptoms of serious illness. Children may seem relatively unaffected until shortly before circulatory and respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. The Bedside Paediatric Early Warning Score has been validated in a large multinational study and is used in two regions in Denmark. However, healthcare professionals experience difficulties in relation to measuring blood pressure and to the lack of assessment of children's level of consciousness. In addition, is it noteworthy that in 23,288-hour studies, all seven items of the Bedside Paediatric Early Warning Score were recorded in only 5.1% of patients. This trial aims to compare two Paediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) models to identify the better model for identifying acutely and critically ill children. The hypothesis is that the Central Denmark Region PEWS model is superior to the Bedside PEWS in terms of reducing unplanned transfers to intensive care or transfers from regional hospitals to the university hospital among already hospitalised children.Methods/designThis is a multicentre, randomised, controlled clinical trial where children are allocated to one of two different PEWS models. The study involves all paediatric departments and one emergency department in the Central Denmark Region. The primary outcome is unplanned transfer to the paediatric intensive care unit or transfer from regional hospitals to the university hospital. Based on preliminary data, 14,000 children should be included to gain a power of 80% (with a 5% significance level) and to detect a clinically significant difference of 30% of unplanned transfers to intensive care or from regional hospitals to the paediatric department at the university department. A safety interim analysis will be performed after inclusion of 7000 patients.DiscussionThis is the first randomised trial to investigate two different PEWS models. This study demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of a new PEWS model and contributes to knowledge of hospitalised children's clinical deterioration.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02433327 .

Project description:IntroductionGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a glucose intolerance occurring in 3%-10% of pregnant women and being a risk factor for multiple maternal and fetal complications. The risk of perinatal complications is proportional to the level of maternal hyperglycaemia. Proper glycaemic control is therefore one of the key elements of GDM therapy. Until recently, determination of blood glucose concentration was performed using glucose meters, which involved multiple fingerpricks. Nowadays, due to the flash glucose monitoring (FGM) availability, it is possible to collect measurements at any time without routine puncturing. The aim of the presented study is to assess the impact of FGM on the efficacy of treatment in population of patients diagnosed with GDM.Methods and analysisThis is a prospective, randomised study, that will recruit 100 women at 24-28 weeks of gestation at the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland. Women diagnosed with GDM, who will meet the inclusion criteria, will be individually randomised to the FGM or self-monitoring of blood glucose groups. Further on, clinical and laboratory results of the mother and their newborns will be collected for analysis during the course of pregnancy. Primary outcome is mean glycaemia result in each group after 1 month analysis and percentage of results in the target glycaemic range. The secondary objectives will be to compare the two groups for maternal and neonatal outcomes in conjunction with long-term glycaemic control using blood glycated haemoglobin and fructosamine serum concentrations.Ethics and disseminationThe study is exempt from regional ethics review due to its nature of quality improvement in patient care. The study has been approved by the Bioethics Committee at the Medical University of Warsaw and the patient privacy protection boards governing over the recruitment sites. Results of the study will be presented in peer-reviewed journals and at conferences.Trial registration numberNCT04422821.
