Effectiveness of Integrated Care for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, Cardiovascular and Chronic Respiratory Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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, a
