Meta-analysis estimates disparity in HbA1c for Hispanic patients
Tagged: diabetes
Hispanic patients with diabetes demonstrated HbA1C levels that were an estimated 0.5% higher than non-Hispanic white patients with diabetes, according to a recent study.
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta conducted a meta-analysis of Hispanic and non-Hispanic patients with diabetes to determine the disparities in HbA1C levels between the two groups. The researchers reviewed data from 495 studies found on PubMed and other databases. Eleven of these studies met the inclusion criteria.”*
