The Multiethnic Type 2 Diabetes Outcomes Model for the U.S. (DOMUS), recently published in Diabetes Care, predicts a total of 14 different complications patients with diabetes can develop over about 15 years, and models how the disease progresses by predicting how weight, cholesterol, A1C levels, and other risk factors change over time.

“Most individuals would benefit from better attention from clinicians in the health system on health literacy—most would benefit from better communication on our end,” says CDRP faculty affiliate Valerie Press in Society of Hospital Medicine’s The Hospitalist. “We owe it to our patients to do everything we can to help them understand and identify if they need additional resources.”
Members of the CDRP, including CDRP director Elbert Huang and associate director Neda Laiteerapong, have created a new model for how type 2 diabetes progresses with information on 17 distinct diabetes-related outcomes. Diabetes Outcome Model of the U.S. (DOMUS) can help scientists, policymakers, and health system managers understand diabetes progression and its relationship to social determinants of health and better understand how their choices can affect population health and health disparities.
