Survey of physician practice behaviors related to diabetes mellitus in the U.S. Physician adherence to consensus recommendations
SJ Kenny, PJ Smith, MG Goldschmid, JM Newman and WH Herman
Division of Diabetes Translation, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA 30341-3724.
OBJECTIVE--To summarize the frequency of physician adherence to consensus
recommendations for prevention of diabetic complications. RESEARCH DESIGN
AND METHODS--Survey data from a nationwide stratified probability sample of
primary-care physicians were analyzed. Adherence to recommendations were
reported by physician specialty, age-group, and type of diabetes treated.
RESULTS--Adherence was high for eye exams, blood pressure measurements,
neurological and circulatory exams, and laboratory procedures using blood.
Adherence was low for examination of the teeth and gums, examination of the
feet, and laboratory procedures involving the collection of urine.
Internists generally had the highest adherence rates and pediatricians the
lowest. Reported adherence decreased with physician age. Adherence was
higher for the management of individuals with IDDM than for those with
NIDDM. CONCLUSIONS--Recommendations for the care of diabetic individuals
need to be more widely implemented. Recommendations targeted specifically
to pediatricians may be necessary.
