NCT04498156
Brief Summary:
In this survey study, researchers want to find out more about how physicians are treating patients diagnosed with reduced kidney function (chronic kidney disease, CKD) and high blood sugar level (type 2 diabetes); what physicians know about the different treatment options available; and how they use this knowledge to treat their patients successfully. Additionally, researchers want to gather information about patient's awareness of their disease and which criteria they consider important for their treatment of the disease.
The study will survey a total of 150 patients with type 2 diabetes: 50 patients with mild CKD; 50 patients with moderate CKD; and 50 patients with severe CKD. Patients eligible for this study can be male or female and should be at least 18 years old. In addition, a total of 150 physicians will be surveyed. Physicians eligible for this study may be general practitioners, endocrinologist, or nephrologists.
Detailed Description:
The primary objective in this study is to assess the awareness, values and preferences of patients and physicians with respect to the risks, consequences and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Secondary objectives aim to assess awareness of available CKD treatments, referral tools and communication between patients and physicians.
Both patients and physicians will complete a survey that consists of various questions regarding the knowledge of disease, values and treatments, patient-physician interaction, physician referral tools and disease risk management.
