Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intensive Glycemic Control and Skeletal Health Study (NCT NCT00324350)

NCT ID: NCT00324350

Last Updated: 2012-10-05

Results Overview

The BONE ancillary study was initiated during recruitment for the main ACCORD trial. Beginning in January 2006, at the next annual visit participants were asked about the occurrence of any non-spine fractures since randomization. After the annual visit in 2006, participants were asked if they had suffered a fracture since their last annual visit. Reported fracture events were centrally adjudicated, based on radiology records, at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) with the adjudicators blinded to treatment assignment.

Participant Flow

The ACCORD trial has been described previously (Buse JB,et al. Am J Cardiol 99:21i-33i, 2007). Five of the 7 clinical center networks agreed to participate in the BONE ancillary study, including 54 of 77 clinical sites and 7,287 participants. The BONE ancillary study was initiated during the main recruitment for ACCORD (beginning in 2006).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average follow-up of 3.8 years

Population: As per protocol, pathological fractures, confirmed as occurring secondary to neoplasm, necrosis, or sepsis, and periprosthetic fractures were excluded (N=7). These analyses are limited to confirmed fractures that occurred on or before Feb 5, 2008, when the intensive glycemia intervention was ended.

The BONE ancillary study was initiated during recruitment for the main ACCORD trial. Beginning in January 2006, at the next annual visit participants were asked about the occurrence of any non-spine fractures since randomization. After the annual visit in 2006, participants were asked if they had suffered a fracture since their last annual visit. Reported fracture events were centrally adjudicated, based on radiology records, at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) with the adjudicators blinded to treatment assignment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average follow-up of 2.0 years

Population: These analyses include results from the annual visits that occurred before Feb 5, 2008, the close of the intensive glycemia arm. Of those in the BONE ancillary study, 6,782 participants answered at least one question about falls.

At each annual visit starting in January 2006, participants were also asked about falling: "In the last 12 months have you fallen and landed on the floor or ground, OR fallen and hit an object like a table or stair?" Those who answered "yes" were also asked how many times they had fallen in the previous 12 months.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years

Population: Among participants in the BONE ancillary study, 6,979 participants had at least one height measurement during follow-up and were included in these analyses.

Standing height was measured according to a standard protocol at baseline and annual visits on all ACCORD participants. Height loss was compared by treatment assignment using linear mixed models with random intercepts and slopes. Treatment effects were captured by the interaction between treatment assignment and time. The proportions losing \>2 cm of height during follow-up were compared using logistic models. This degree of height loss is associated with incident vertebral fracture with 94% specificity but only 28% sensitivity
