China Diabetes Registry by Metabolic Management Center

Epidemiologic studies have revealed a tremendous increase in the prevalence of diabetes and related mortality worldwide. The general population-based survey in China in 2010, using the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2010 criteria, revealed that the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in adults was 11.6% and 50.1%, respectively, indicating that China has the highest diabetes prevalence in Asia and largest absolute disease burden of diabetes in the world. Lifestyle changes, aging, and obesity have become the main reasons for this increase in the prevalence of diabetes.

In order to meet all the challenges in the treatment of metabolic diseases in China, the National Metabolic Management Center (MMC) was founded in 2016. With advanced medical equipment and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the MMC is committed to creating an online and offline integrated solution for diabetes, and for the entire spectrum of metabolic disease, to achieve a more convenient and precise model of care for patients. The MMC is focused on establishing highly efficient diagnosis and treatment, as well as comprehensive disease management both in and out of hospital. All MMCs in China have the same structure in terms of facilities, layout, and databases, as well as the same routine daily operations, aiming to establish a platform with standardized diagnosis and treatment of metabolic diseases and their long-term follow-up. This platform of treatment is called the'One Center, One Stop, and One Standard Model'.

The objective of the MMC is to launch a new metabolic disease management model based on the Internet health information platform. It allows the application and evaluation of diabetes treatment strategies at these centers. The proprietary electronic medical database in the MMC will help the dynamic big-data analysis in diabetes epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It will also provide prospective data support including economic evaluation in management of chronic diseases for the Healthy China 2030 strategy.

Objective：

• The purpose of the present study is to establish a multi-center nationwide prospective database of diabetes patients in MMCs, including clinical data, biological samples library so as to explore the epidemiology, genetics, new biomarkers, risk factors, and prognostic methods related to diabetes and its complications, as well as other metabolic diseases.
• To collect cross-sectional data from patients seen and treated at each MMC centers so as to evaluate: the current status of care of patients with diabetes and its related complications, as well as other risk factors treatment strategies at these centers. Patients'costs and quality of life (QoL) will also be evaluated.
• To collect the prospective data of patients treated at each MMC centers in order to evaluate the strategies for the achievement of treatment goals, changes in management, control of risk factors, incidence and progression of all-diabetes related clinical endpoints (including mortality), behavioral changes, psychological well being as well as costs and QoL.

Methods： After obtaining informed consent, patients will be invited and initiated with a comprehensive baseline evaluation at each MMC centers. Then patients will be followed by clinical/laboratory visits at MMC every 3-6 month later on according to individualized patient's treatment plans. A repeated comprehensive clinical and laboratory assessment for glycemic and risk factors control, safety, as well as diabetes-specific complications will be scheduled once a year.
