ABSTRACT: Introduction
In this paper, we use the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC) framework to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated care in terms of enhancing the outcomes of chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), or their combinations.Methods
The data extracted from randomized controlled trials (RCT) of integrated care interventions for DMT2, CVD, and CRD (follow-up ≥ 3 months) in 11 databases were analysed using random-effects meta-analysis.Results
A total of 54 eligible studies covering 12,976 participants, with a mean follow-up of 54 weeks, were included. In moderate-quality evidence, integrated care interventions reduced mortality for CVD, adverse events for CVD and DMT2, and improved quality of life for CVD and DMT2, physical and mental functioning, self-management, and blood pressure control.Conclusion
Integrated care can reduce all-cause mortality, adverse events, and improve quality of life, physical and mental functioning, self-management and blood pressure control in chronic disease patients. However, available evidence for some outcomes (e.g., all-cause hospital admissions) remains uncertain.
