Indicators of quality of diabetes care in persons with type 2 diabetes with and without severe mental illness: a Danish nationwide register-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to examine quality of diabetes care in persons with type 2 diabetes with and without severe mental illness (SMI).

Methods

In a nationwide prospective register-based study, we followed persons with type 2 diabetes in Denmark with and without SMI including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. Quality of care was measured as receipt of care (hemoglobin A1c, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and urine albumin creatinine ratio assessment and eye and foot screening) and achievement of treatment targets between 2015 and 2019. Quality of care was compared in persons with and without SMI using generalized linear mixed models adjusted for key confounders.

Findings

We included 216,537 persons with type 2 diabetes. At entry 16,874 (8%) had SMI. SMI was associated with lower odds of receiving care, with the most pronounced difference in urine albumin creatinine ratio assessment and eye screening (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.53-0.58 and OR: 0.37 95% CI: 0.32-0.42, respectively). Among those with an assessment, we found that SMI was associated with higher achievement of recommended hemoglobin A1c levels and lower achievement of recommended low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. Achievement of recommended low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels was similar in persons with versus without schizophrenia.

Interpretation

Compared to persons without SMI, persons with SMI were less likely to receive process of care, with the most pronounced differences in urine albumin creatinine ratio assessment and eye screening.

Funding

This study was funded by Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen through an unrestricted grant from Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Project description:IntroductionHerpesviruses are recognized as major causes of human diseases. Following initial infection, Herpesviruses can undergo cycles of reactivation controlled largely by the immune system. Cigarette smoking is an important modulator of the immune system particularly in individuals with serious mental illness where smoking is associated with increased rates of cardiopulmonary diseases and mortality. However, the effect of smoking on Herpesviruses has not been extensively studied.MethodsIn this nested cohort study, cigarette smoking was assessed in 1323 persons with serious mental illness or without a psychiatric disorder ascertained in a psychiatric health care system and the adjacent community. Participants provided a blood sample from which were measured IgG class antibodies to five human Herpesviruses: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Herpes Simplex Virus-Type 1 (HSV-1); Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV); and Human Herpes Virus-Type 6 (HHV-6). The associations between smoking variables and antibody levels to the Herpesviruses were analyzed among diagnostic groups in multiple regression models adjusted for age, sex, and race.ResultsCurrent smoking was significantly associated with higher levels of antibodies to CMV (coefficient .183, 95% CI .049, .317, p<.001, q<.007) and the three EBV proteins (EBV NA -(coefficient .088, 95% CI .032, .143, p = .002, q<.014; EBV Virion - coefficient .100, 95% CI .037, .163, p = .002, q<.014; and EBV VCA - coefficient .119, 95% CI .061, .177, p = .00004, q<.0016). The amount of cigarettes smoked was also correlated with higher levels of antibodies to the three EBV proteins. Interaction analyses indicated that the association between cigarette smoking and levels of antibodies to CMV and EBV was independent of diagnostic group. Cigarette smoking was not significantly associated with the level of antibodies to HSV-1, VZV, or HHV-6.ConclusionsIndividuals who smoke cigarettes have increased levels of IgG antibodies to CMV and EBV. Cigarette smoking may be a contributory factor in the relationship between CMV, EBV and chronic somatic disorders associated with these viruses.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious research has suggested that people with severe mental illness are at elevated risk of both violence perpetration and violent victimisation, with risk of the latter being perhaps greater than the former. However, few studies have examined risk across both outcomes.MethodsUsing a total population approach, the absolute and relative risks of victimisation and perpetration were estimated for young men and women across the full psychiatric diagnostic spectrum. Information on mental disorder status was extracted from national registers and information on violent victimisation and perpetration outcomes from police records. The follow-up was from age 15 to a maximum of 31 years, with most of the person-time at risk pertaining to cohort members aged in their early twenties. Both absolute risk (at 1 and 5 years from onset of illness) and relative risk were estimated.FindingsBoth types of violent outcome occurred more frequently amongst those with mental illness than the general population. However, whether risk of one was greater than the other depended on a range of factors, including sex and diagnosis. Men with a mental disorder had higher absolute risks of both outcomes than women [victimisation: Cin (5 year) = 7.15 (6.88-7.42) versus Cin (5 year) = 4.79 (4.61-4.99); perpetration: Cin (5 year) = 8.17 (7.90-8.46) versus Cin (5 year) = 1.86 (1.75-1.98)], as was the case with persons in the general population without a recorded mental illness diagnosis. Women with mental illness had higher absolute risk of victimisation than perpetration, which was also true for men and women without mental illness. However, the opposite was true for men with mental illness. Men and women with diagnoses of personality disorders, substance use disorders, and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders were at highest risk of victimisation and perpetration.InterpretationStrategies developed to prevent violent victimisation and violence perpetration may need to be tailored for young adults with mental disorders. There may also be a benefit in taking a sex-specific approach to prevention in this group.FundingThis study was supported by an Australian National Health and Medical Research Council Investigator Grant awarded to the first author.
