Background: Improving diabetes care in the United States is a topic of concern.

Objective: To document the quality of diabetes care during 1988–1995.

Design: National population-based cross-sectional surveys.

Setting: Third U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) (1988–1994) and the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) (1995).

Participants: Participants in NHANES III (n = 1026) or BRFSS (n = 3059) who were 18 to 75 years of age and reported a physician diagnosis of diabetes. Women with gestational diabetes were excluded.

Measurements: Glycemic control, blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level, biannual cholesterol monitoring, and annual foot and dilated eye examination, as defined by the Diabetes Quality Improvement Project.

Results: 18.0% of participants (95% CI, 15.7% to 22.3%) had poor glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c level > 9.5%), and 65.7% (CI, 62.0% to 69.4%) had blood pressure less than 140/90 mm Hg. Cholesterol was monitored biannually in 85.3% (CI, 83.1% to 88.6%) of participants, but only 42.0% (CI, 34.9% to 49.1%) had LDL cholesterol levels less than 3.4 mmol/L (<130 mg/dL). During the previous year, 63.3% (CI, 59.6% to 67.0%) had a dilated eye examination and 54.8% (CI, 51.3% to 58.3%) had a foot examination. When researchers controlled for age, sex, ethnicity, education, health insurance, insulin use, and duration of diabetes, insured persons were more likely than uninsured persons to have a dilated eye examination (66.5% [CI, 62.6% to 70.4%]) vs. 43.2% [CI, 29.5% to 56.9%]) and were less likely to have a hemoglobin A1clevel greater than or equal to 9.5%. Persons taking insulin were more likely than those who were not to have annual dilated eye examination (72.2% [CI, 66.3% to 78.1%] vs. 57.6% [CI, 53.7% to 61.5%]) and foot examination (67.3% [CI, 61.4% to 73.2%] vs. 47.1% [CI, 43.2% to 51.0%]) but were also more likely to have poor glycemic control (24.2% [CI, 18.3% to 30.1%] vs. 15.5% [CI, 11.6% to 19.4%]).

Conclusions: According to U.S. data collected during 1988–1995, a gap exists between recommended diabetes care and the care patients actually receive. These data offer a benchmark for monitoring changes in diabetes care.


Editors' Notes
space

Context

  • There are no recent national evaluations of diabetes care in the United States.

Contribution

  • Using data from two national surveys, this study documents a substantial gap between the recommended and actual care of diabetes in the United States between 1988 and 1995. Many participants had hemoglobin A1c levels greater than 9.5% (18.0%), poorly controlled blood pressure (34.3%), and elevated cholesterol levels (58.0%).

Implications

  • As a nation, the United States is falling short in caring for patients with diabetes. A periodic national "report card" may help us to gauge the success of future efforts to improve.
