Abstract Analyzing the treatment patterns of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in real practice helps to understand the flow of diabetes management and establish further management plans. Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) is an international collaboration created an international data network (Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model, OMOP-CDM). This study was aim to analyze treatment patterns of T2DM using the OMOP-CDM based on electronic health record (EHR) data and to assess whether CDM analysis was feasible to diabetes research. This is a retrospective, observational study using the EHR data of Jeonbuk National University Hospital (JNUH) transformed into OMOP-CDM. The data consisted of medical records of patients visits from January 2000 to December 2019. ATLAS ver. 2.7.6, an OHDSI’s open-source software is publicly available, was used for analysis. The 20 year old EHR data of a JNUH contain about 1.5 million patients. The proportion of adult patients treated for T2DM increased from 1,867 (1.6%) in 2000 to 9,972 (5.1%) in 2019. Sulfonylurea (SU) was the most prescribed drug (73%) followed by metformin (55%) in 2000. On the other hand, in 2019, metformin was the most prescribed (64%), and DPP-4 inhibitor prescription increased rapidly up to 55%, while the SU prescription rate decreased to 36%. The rate of insulin treatment ranged from 16% to 24%, which is higher than national surveyed based on health insurance data. Over time, monotherapy decreased while dual, triple, and quadruple combinations steadily increased. Dual combination was the most common with metformin and DPP-4 inhibitor, triple combination was the most with metformin, SU, and DPP-4 inhibitor in 2019. In analysis of annual HbA1c trends, the proportion of patients with HbA1c of 7% or lower increased (from 32.8% 2000 to 50.2% in 2019). Proportion of patients with HbA1c of 9% or more decreased from 30% to 12%. However, it was found that about half of T2DM patients still had HbA1c values above the target range. In addition, the number of patients who visited our emergency room for severe hypoglycemia did not decrease. Present study revealed that CDM analysis was feasible for diabetes research. Medication utilization patterns have changed significantly over the past 20 years with a shift towards newer drugs. Despite these changes and clinical efforts, improvement in glycemic control is still a challenge and hypoglycemic is still a problem to overcome.

Key Points The algorithms have high sensitivity and specificity to identify patients with hemoglobin SS/Sβ0 thalassemia and acute care pain encounters. Codes conforming to common data model are provided to facilitate adoption of algorithms and standardize definitions for EHR-based research.

SummaryObjective: To improve the transparency of clinical trial generalizability and to illustrate the method using Type 2 diabetes as an example.Methods: Our data included 1,761 diabetes clinical trials and the electronic health records (EHR) of 26,120 patients with Type 2 diabetes who visited Columbia University Medical Center of New-York Presbyterian Hospital. The two populations were compared using the Generalizability Index for Study Traits (GIST) on the earliest diagnosis age and the mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values.Results: Greater than 70% of Type 2 diabetes studies allow patients with HbA1c measures between 7 and 10.5, but less than 40% of studies allow HbA1c<7 and fewer than 45% of studies allow HbA1c>10.5. In the real-world population, only 38% of patients had HbA1c between 7 and 10.5, with 12% having values above the range and 52% having HbA1c<7. The GIST for HbA1c was 0.51. Most studies adopted broad age value ranges, with the most common restrictions excluding patients >80 or <18 years. Most of the real-world population fell within this range, but 2% of patients were <18 at time of first diagnosis and 8% were >80. The GIST for age was 0.75. Conclusions: We contribute a scalable method to profile and compare aggregated clinical trial target populations with EHR patient populations. We demonstrate that Type 2 diabetes studies are more generalizable with regard to age than they are with regard to HbA1c. We found that the generalizability of age increased from Phase 1 to Phase 3 while the generalizability of HbA1c decreased during those same phases. This method can generalize to other medical conditions and other continuous or binary variables. We envision the potential use of EHR data for examining the generaliz-ability of clinical trials and for defining population-representative clinical trial eligibility criteria.Citation: Weng C, Li Y, Ryan P, Zhang Y, Liu F, Gao J, Bigger JT, Hripcsak G.

ObjectivesTo study the characteristics of UK individuals identified with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (NDH) and their conversion rates to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from 2000 to 2015, using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink.DesignCohort study.SettingsUK primary Care Practices.ParticipantsElectronic health records identified 14 272 participants with NDH, from 2000 to 2015.Primary and secondary outcome measuresBaseline characteristics and conversion trends from NDH to T2DM were explored. Cox proportional hazards models evaluated predictors of conversion.ResultsCrude conversion was 4% within 6 months of NDH diagnosis, 7% annually, 13% within 2 years, 17% within 3 years and 23% within 5 years. However, 1-year conversion fell from 8% in 2000 to 4% in 2014. Individuals aged 45–54 were at the highest risk of developing T2DM (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.25— compared with those aged 18–44), and the risk reduced with older age. A body mass index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2 was strongly associated with conversion (HR 2.02, 95% CI 1.92 to 2.13—compared with those with a normal BMI). Depression (HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.13), smoking (HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.11—compared with non-smokers) or residing in the most deprived areas (HR 1.17, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.24—compared with residents of the most affluent areas) was modestly associated with conversion.ConclusionAlthough the rate of conversion from NDH to T2DM fell between 2010 and 2015, this is likely due to changes over time in the cut-off points for defining NDH, and more people of lower diabetes risk being diagnosed with NDH over time. People aged 45–54, smokers, depressed, with high BMI and more deprived are at increased risk of conversion to T2DM.

AbstractThe cardiovascular risk equations for diabetes patients from New Zealand and Chinese electronic health records (CREDENCE) study is a unique prospectively designed investigation of cardiovascular risk in two large contemporary cohorts of people with type 2 diabetes from New Zealand (NZ) and China. The study was designed to derive equivalent cardiovascular risk prediction equations in a developed and a developing country, using the same epidemiological and statistical methodology. Two similar cohorts of people with type 2 diabetes were identified from large general population studies in China and New Zealand, which had been generated from longitudinal electronic health record systems. The CREDENCE study aims to determine whether cardiovascular risk prediction equations derived in patients with type 2 diabetes in a developed country are applicable in a developing country, and vice versa, by deriving and validating equivalent diabetes-specific cardiovascular risk prediction models from the two countries. Baseline data in CREDENCE was collected from October 2004 in New Zealand and from January 2010 in China. In the first stage of CREDENCE, a total of 93,207 patients (46,649 from NZ and 46,558 from China) were followed until December 31st 2018. Median follow-up was 7.0 years (New Zealand) and 5.7 years (China). There were 5926 (7.7% fatal) CVD events in the New Zealand cohort and 3650 (8.8% fatal) in the Chinese cohort. The research results have implications for policy makers, clinicians and the public and will facilitate personalised management of cardiovascular risk in people with type 2 diabetes worldwide.
