Full description
To reach the two purposes, we need to conduct a cohort study:
The cohort population is type 2 diabetes patients that have been recruited in a consecutive and exhaustive way. The first consultation is performed in hospital or in one of 12 primary care units of Ain-Taya's health sector in Est suburb of Algiers . When a glycemia is found at 1.26 g/litre or over, the patient is referred to principal investigator to confirm the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes ,to recruit him and proceed to complete screening for chronic complications
For the main purpose, we evaluate the prevalence of micro and macrovascular complications, at the time of diagnosis, in type2 diabetes patients that have been recruited. For some complications as Diabetic Kidney Disease, we have to follow up the patient at least three months to confirm the chronic nature of the nephropathy.
For the secondary purpose, the cohort population is followed up for one year, the patients are treated commonly. We'll check out all the cardiovascular events linked to atherothrombosis.Two groups of patients might be formed:
We will compare the two groups, on occurence of cardiovascular events, after adjustment of age and major cardiovascular risk factors, and after excluding patients 'not exposed' having had a prior treatment with conversion enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor antagonist .
The size of the sample is calculated with statistical formula:
n= E2 Po Qo / i2 n= size of the sample E= 1.96 with error risk : alpha= 5% Po= 30% Qo= 1-Po "n" is at least egal to 323 patients
Statistical analysis is performed with epi info 6.04b and all tests are performed with an error risk alpha= 5%
Descriptive statistics of patients characteristics:
Comparative statistics according to existence of renal disease or not
Multivariate analysis will be done on SPSS v: 21 software program, adjustment will be done for age, sexe and major cardiovascular risk factors.
