Lack of proper assessment can hasten the complications and a meticulous screening system is a prerequisite in every diabetic patient's evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of screening for non-glycemic parameters in type 2 DM patients by physicians in an outpatient setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted in a teaching hospital during December 2019. A total of 254 patients with type 2 DM without any complications were randomly selected for screening as per the criteria developed by RSSDI [Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India].<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Complete history and physical examination were done by physicians in all the participants. Measurement of blood pressure at every visit was done in about 95% of patients and 90% of them were counseled for cessation of smoking. But only about 60% or less of patients were screened for microalbuminuria, diabetic retinopathy, and peripheral neuropathy. Advice on comprehensive foot care was also not a regular practice among physicians.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This clinical audit showed that 90% of the patients had undergone only 4 of the 9 RSSDI recommended screening. The other parameters had been carried out in only among 40 to 60% of the patients. Thus, primary care physicians have to emphasize on the subtle but important criteria like ophthalmic examination, peripheral neuropathy and microalbuminuria during regular outpatient visits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_2305_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,2]],"date-time":"2021-06-02T10:08:51Z","timestamp":1622628531000},"page":"1917-1921","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinical audit on assessment of non-glycemic parameters in diabetic patients by physicians"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Ramya","family":"S","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arjun","family":"Anand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Swapna","family":"Bhaskar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shankar","family":"Prasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-21-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108086","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2020.108086","article-title":"Mortality attributable to diabetes in 20-79 years old adults, 2019 estimates: Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th edition?","volume":"162","author":"Saeedi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Diabetes Res Clin Pract"},{"key":"R3-21-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1186\/s13098-017-0207-3","article-title":"Prevalence and risk factors of diabetes in a large community-based study in North India: Results from a STEPS survey in Punjab, India","volume":"9","author":"Tripathy","year":"2017","journal-title":"Diabetol Metab Syndr"},{"key":"R4-21-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1162","DOI":"10.18203\/2394-6040.ijcmph20190604","article-title":"The economic burden of health expenditure on diabetes mellitus among urban poor: A cross sectional study","volume":"6","author":"Javalkar","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int J Community Med Public Health"},{"key":"R5-21-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2570","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.287.19.2570","article-title":"Diabetes and atherosclerosis: Epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management","volume":"287","author":"Beckman","year":"2002","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"R8-21-20240828","first-page":"12","article-title":"Current glycemic status and diabetes related complications among type 2 diabetes patients in India: Data from the A1chieve study","volume":"61","author":"Mohan","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Assoc Physicians India"},{"key":"R9-21-20240828","first-page":"468","article-title":"Why are Indians more prone to diabetes?","volume":"52","author":"Mohan","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Assoc Physicians India"},{"key":"R10-21-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"494","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdiacomp.2016.10.008","article-title":"Place of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in East Asian subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Insights into the management of Asian phenotype","volume":"31","author":"Lim","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Diabetes Complications"},{"key":"R13-21-20240828","first-page":"S58","article-title":"Does audit improve diabetes care in a primary care setting?
