Objective: The primary aim of this cross-sectional analysis was to evaluate the association of multiple social risk domains on the attainment of a composite quality metric in patients with diabetes in a large US regional practice.
Research Design And Methods: The study population included adult patients with type 2 diabetes empaneled to a family medicine clinician in Mayo Clinic Rochester or Mayo Clinic Health System. Patients met the diabetes metric (D5) if: HgbA1c < 8, Blood pressure < 140/90, statin use unless contraindicated, avoidance of tobacco use, and aspirin use if coexisting vascular disease.
