<p>Feasibility Study of Advanced Cardiovascular Screening in Middle-Aged Patients with Diabetes</p>

Abstract: Purpose: Cardiovascular mortality remains high among patients with diabetes compared with the general population. The primary aim was to evaluate the interest in and demand for advanced cardiovascular screening in patients with diabetes; the secondary aim was to explore its efficiency in detecting unprotected subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD). Patients and Methods: In a cross-sectional design, randomly selected 40-60-year-old men and women with diabetes were invited to the screening trial. Screening enc… Show more

“…The strength of qualitative research is reaching a new understanding of a phenomenon, including suggestions for practice rather than achieving generalisability [20], which requires testing the results in a randomised setup. Interestingly, the uptake in the DIACAVAS pilot study (41%) [2] corresponds to the number of interviewees who would be likely to respond to the invitation strategy used in DIACAVAS (a written invitation with self-booking) in accordance with our model (35%). This supports our ndings of the bene ts of using a differentiated invitation strategy.…”

“…The structured interview conformed to the questionnaire used in DIACAVAS for collecting information on cardiovascular symptoms and morbidity, smoking habits, family history of CVD and quality of life (EQ-5D-3L). The DIACAVAS questionnaire was developed in accordance with a literature review on diabetes-speci c factors for assessing the individuals' characteristics including cardiovascular risk [2]. The DIACAVAS questionnaire was supplemented with information on education and employment for the purpose of this study.…”

“…Therefore, the DIA betic CA rdio VA scular S creening and intervention trial (DIACAVAS) has been designed to clarify whether advanced imaging for subclinical atherosclerosis combined with preventive medical treatment is an effective strategy to develop individualised treatment algorithms among Danish men and women with T2D aged 40–60. However, the uptake in the DIACAVAS pilot study was only 41% [ 2 ]. This finding is in line with earlier studies suggesting that persons with T2D are less likely to participate in initiatives such as DIACAVAS.…”

“…In the DIACAVAS pilot study, the invitation strategy was sending the invitation to a digital mailbox provided by the Danish public authorities without a pre-booked appointment (2). This digital invitation was chosen as it is an easy and well-known strategy to reach the majority of the Danish population in a safe, secure and inexpensive way (35).…”
