The TUDID Study – Background and Design of a Prospective Cohort
Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes DOI: 10.1055/a-1221-9618Prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus is growing worldwide and
one major cause for morbidity and mortality. However, not every patient develops
diabetes-related complications, but causes for the individual susceptibility are
still not fully understood. As a platform to address this, we initiated the
TUDID (TUebingen DIabetes Database) study, a prospective, monocentric,
observational study that includes adults with diabetes mellitus who are treated
in the inpatient clinic of a University Hospital in southern Germany. Besides a
thorough clinical examination and extensive laboratory tests (with integrated
biobanking), major study focuses are the kidneys, the eyes, the vasculature as
well as cognition and mood where standardized investigations for early stages
for diabetes complications are performed. Analyses of the data generated by this
precise characterization of diabetes-related complications will contribute to
our understanding of the development and course of such complications, and thus
facilitate the implementation of tailored treatment options that can reduce the
risk and severity of diabetes-related complications. [...] © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text
