| Abstract | Background: To estimate the contemporary prevalence of established cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Mexico. Methods: CAPTURE was a multinational, non-interventional, cross-sectional study across 13 countries from five continents. Standardized demographic and clinical data were collected from adults with T2D attending a single routine healthcare visit in primary or specialized care between December 2018 and September 2019. Data from Mexico are analyzed in this study. Results: Of the 9,823 patients included in the CAPTURE study, 820 (8.3%) participants were from Mexico, mainly attended in private centers (29.3% in 6 specialized diabetes treatment centers and 70.7% in 26 primary care centers). The median age was 63.0 years, 52.6% were women, the duration of diabetes was 11.8 years and the average HbA1c 7.5%. The weighted prevalence [95% CI] of CVD and atherosclerotic CVD was 36.9% [34.1-39.6] and 29.5% [26.7-32.3], respectively. Additionally, the prevalence of coronary heart disease, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease and cerebrovascular disease was 23.1% [20.6-25-7], 8.4% [6.8-10.0], 5.0% [3.5-6.5] and 3.9% [2.6-5.2], respectively. Glucose lowering drugs were used in 88.5% of patients, being metformin the most commonly drug used (79.4%), followed by sulfonylureas (26.3%). SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP1 receptor agonists were used in 15.5% and 3.9%, respectively. Conclusions: In Mexico, nearly four out of ten patients with T2D mainly attended in private centers have CVD, particularly atherosclerotic CVD. Most patients were not taking glucose lowering drugs with proven CV benefit. |
