Abstract |
Objective: Assess adherence to the Diabetes Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in Family Medicine Groups (FMG) in Quebec.
Methodology: A retrospective cohort was used with patients with diabetes (PWD) and/or CVD, enrolled in a FMG and the Public Prescription Drug Plan (PPDP) between 2017 and 2020.
Results: Six adjusted indicators (gender and age) for the management of CVD in PWD aged 50 and over and enrolled in a FMG and the PPDP were calculated. In 2019-2020, among PWD with CVD, 82.0% were taking a statin, 71.9% were taking an antiplatelet, 66.5% were taking an angiotensin receptor (ARB) blocker or angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and 25.5% were taking cardiac-protection therapies [ sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2), Glucagon like peptide antagonist (GLP-1)]. Among PWD for 15 years, 50.4% take a statin, while in the absence of CVD, 36.1% take an antiplatelet.
Conclusion: The prescriptions for statin, antiplatelet and ACE/ARB appear in accordance with the CPG and stable from 2017 to 2020. Prescription of antiplatelet in primary prevention was declining between and SGLT-2/GLP-1 were increasing from 2017 to 2020, which is consistent with the recommendations from Diabetes Canada CPG.1
