Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of a facilitator enhanced multifaceted intervention to implement a locally adapted guideline on the shared care for people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: During 1 year a cluster-randomized trial was performed in 30 general practices. In the intervention group, nurse facilitators enhanced guideline implementation by analysing barriers to change, introducing structured care, training practice staff and giving performance feedback. Targets for HbA1c%, systolic blood pressure as well as indications for angiotensin converting enzyme/angiotensin receptor blocking agent prescription differed from the national guidelines. In the control group, GPs were asked to continue the care for people with diabetes as usually. Generalized estimating equations were used to control for the clustered design of the study. RESULTS: In the intervention group, more people were seen on a 3-monthly basis (88% versus 69%, P < 0.001) and more blood pressure and bodyweight measurements were performed every 3 months (blood pressure 83% versus 66%, P < 0.001 and bodyweight 78.9% versus 48.5%, P < 0.001). Apart from a marginal difference in mean cholesterol, differences in HbA1c%, blood pressure, body mass index and treatment satisfaction were not significant. CONCLUSION: Multifaceted implementation of locally adapted shared care guidelines did improve the process of diabetes care but hardly changed intermediate outcomes. In the short term, local adaptation of shared care guidelines does not improve the cardiovascular risks of people with type 2 diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
