ABCD nationwide canagliflozin audit
on N3
About the ABCD nationwide
canagliflozin audit
With the launch of the canagliflozin audit, ABCD
is now auditing two from new class of drugs for diabetes, the SGLT2
inhibitors. As with the ABCD GLP1-receptor agonist audits (exenatide,
liraglutide and
exenatide QW) it may be
that patients being treated with the SGLT2 inhibitors in real clinical
practice will be different from those in clinical trials and outcomes
may also be different both in terms of safety and efficacy. As with the
exenatide QW and dapagliflozin audits, this audit is again being hosted
on N3 - the latest version of NHSnet. Access the on-line tool for the
audit does require the user to be on N3 – ie in an NHS hospital, GP
surgery etc. The audit was launched at a meeting at the Royal College of
Physicians on 24th January 2016. The audit has a number of
objectives.
Web-based audit tool on N3
The audit tool for the canagliflozin audit is very similar to that being
used for the dapagliflozin audit. This will make comparison between the
data in the two audits and combining data for analysis of class an easy
task. The tool is easy to use. Being on N3 it has optimum security for
patient identifiable data with regard to your own patients, but
anonymises the data when it is utilised in the national audit. There are
some special features with regard to the data export both for your own
local analysis and for the nationwide analysis. The export now allows
you to choose which data to download for analysis as well as providing
all data. It also allows you to choose to download the data aggregated
to 2 monthly, 3 monthly, 4 monthly or 6 monthly time points. The tool
has the facility to detect data from the same patient entered in two
sites (eg hospital and primary care) and to merge the data when exported
- see centres and sites below. A new feature being introduced for this
audit, to improve patient safety, is that Janssen's pharmacovigilance
team will be alerted automatically of any serious adverse events. This
is in addition to the usual advice that adverse events occurring in the
UK should be reported to the yellow card scheme:
www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.
Structure of the audit –
centres and sites
For this audit the concept of centres and sites is utilised in the same
way as in the exenatide QW and dapagliflozin audits. Typically a centre
might be an NHS Trust. Sites might be hospitals associated with that
Trust, and/or health centres or GP surgeries in the local vicinity. If
set up in this structure, designated leaders of the local audit would be
given access to download the anonymised data of all the patients
associated with the centre for more powerful local analysis of data
involving higher numbers. Findings so made through such local analysis
could be put forward for further testing on the full national dataset.
Collect data on-line or
via paper forms
The on-line audit tool is so easy to use that live data entry in clinic
is a real option to be considered. Otherwise to facilitate data
collection during clinics there are two paper forms which exactly match
the data that can be entered into the audit tool. You can download and
print these forms locally or
order pre-printed data entry forms.

Northern Ireland and
Worldwide
As Northern Ireland is not on N3, a non N3 version of the tool has been
developed which can allow any country in the world to enrol at no cost
and utilise the facilities. Any country, and centres in the country, may
collect and analyse their own data which will then automatically become
part of worldwide audit.
