Multinational Point Prevalence Study on the Management of Diabesity in Hospitals

Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna

Summary

Diabetes related to obesity ("diabesity") is becoming increasingly prevalent. Hospitalizations among people with diabetes are frequent and glycaemic control is often suboptimal during these stays. However, the pharmacological treatment of diabesity has made significant progress in recent years. The objective of this study is to assess the management of diabesity in the international hospital setting. Aims include: 1. to determine the prevalence of causes and duration of hospitalization 2. to investigate the treatments used 3. to determine individual metabolic control achived This is a cross-sectional multi-centre study in which researchers will conduct a one-day point prevalence assessment in internal medicine wards.
