To examine Hispanic/Latino representation in diabetes cardiovascular outcomes trials for novel antidiabetic drugs.
We compared Hispanic/Latino representation, age, gender and body mass index in diabetes cardiovascular outcomes trials published from January 2008 to October 2018 to Hispanic adults with diabetes in the National Health Examination and Nutrition Survey over the same time period.
Hispanics/Latinos comprised 18.5 % of trial subjects, which was similar to the proportion of US adults with diabetes who identify as Hispanic. Trial subjects were significantly younger, more likely to be female, and more obese than US Hispanics/Latinos. At least 10 different Latin American countries and territories were represented across the 10 trials.
US Hispanics/Latinos differ from subjects in diabetes cardiovascular outcomes trials, which may limit generalizability of trial results.
研究新型抗糖尿病药物的糖尿病心血管结局试验中西班牙裔/拉丁裔的代表性。
我们将 2008 年 1 月至 2018 年 10 月发表的糖尿病心血管结局试验中的西班牙裔/拉丁裔代表性、年龄、性别和体重指数与同期全国健康检查和营养调查中患有糖尿病的西班牙裔成年人进行了比较。
西班牙裔/拉丁裔占试验对象的 18.5%,与美国糖尿病患者中自认为是西班牙裔的比例相似。试验对象明显更年轻,女性比例更高,肥胖程度也更高。在这 10 项试验中,至少有 10 个不同的拉丁美洲国家和地区有代表参加。
美国西班牙裔/拉丁裔与糖尿病心血管结局试验中的受试者不同,这可能限制了试验结果的普遍性。
