A detailed analysis of available demographics, anthropometric characteristics, glycemic metrics, medications, co-morbidities, and medical history from sites across the US will inform the profile for various patient populations enrolled into the study. Collection of detailed medical records will be curated and analyzed to characterize disease natural history, clinical course of disease, number and types of interventions, current treatment paradigms, and the patient diagnostic journey. These data may also establish incidence rates of events of special interest. Collection of prospective medical records for each patient enables the continuation of these analyses longitudinally for changes and progression to characterize the clinical course of disease. The progression of pre-existing co-morbidities and variances across populations will also be evaluated.

The study will evaluate the characteristics of patients receiving various treatments, effectiveness of treatment, and medical events that develop while receiving treatment for metabolic syndrome and related conditions. Treatments may be pharmacologic, surgical, procedures, radiologic or other interventions given to change the disease course/outcomes. Interval disease and medical events may vary depending on the patient's stage and type of disease and extent of co-morbidities at study entry and time of diagnosis.

Health care provider type, clinic setting, reason for initiating/not initiating/adjusting dosing of treatments or interventions (i.e., surgery, radiation), reason for discontinuing/switching treatments, and monitoring outcomes on and off treatment, will be captured as available in the provided EHR and/or through linked data. Disease-specific quality measures will be selected and evaluated, and the curated data can enable analyses to describe and evaluate healthcare utilization patterns.
