Integrated, person-centred care for patients with complex cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease: a randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) often experience fragmented care, which negatively impacts outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study assessed whether multidisciplinary, person-centred care at an integrated clinic improves clinical outcomes and HRQoL.

Methods

This prospective, open, blinded-endpoint trial (CareHND; NCT03362983) included 131 patients with CVD, DM and CKD stages 3-4, most of whom were enrolled during or shortly after acute hospitalization. The intervention group received person-centred care from cardiologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists and specialist nurses at an integrated clinic; the control group received traditional care from separate specialists.
