Pediatric data of the usefulness of estimated average glucose (eAG) in glycemic control and cardiovascular risk reduction

Data in Brief
Dandan Wang, Yu Chen

Abstract

The Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) is assumed to provide patients a better understanding of their recent average blood sugar levels comparing to HbA1c, therefore better control their glycemic levels. However, since its inception, debates on its clinical utility have been over several years leading to an unpopular laboratory and clinical practice of adoption; and there is no evidence to support or against the usefulness of eAG in real world medical practice. Data set presented in this article is related to our research paper entitled "Usefulness of Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) in glycemic Control and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction", available in Clinical Biochemistry [1]. In this article, we compared population lipid and glycemic controls in pediatric diabetic patients of the regional health authority (RHA) zone 1.1 in New Brunswick, Canada, before and after the eAG implementation in January 2010, and with other 7 zones that do not report the parameter. Data (7,355 HbA1c values and 2,062 LDL-c values) was extracted from all pediatric diabetic patients in the Provincial Diabetes Registry from 2008 to 2014. The proportions of patients achieving therapeutic targets (HbA1c<53 mmol/mol (7.0%) and LDL-c<2.6 mmol/L) and the distribu...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
