SAN FRANCISCO, CA — June 16, 2002 — Researchers have found that CAD patients with diabetes are undertested and undertreated.
As a result of these findings, the researchers called for interventions to help physicians improve their use of lipid testing and drug therapy for patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD).
The findings were presented here Friday at the 62nd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Dr. Mark Massing, with Medical Review of North Carolina in Cary, North Carolina, United States and co-workers studied trends in lipid management from 1996 to early 1998 among CAD patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) seen at 295 outpatient practices in the US by 1,540 physicians participating in the Quality Assurance Program. About 23 percent of the 47,813 CAD patients included in their analyses
had diabetes.
