Is the pay-for-performance program associated with better quality of life among type 2 diabetes patients, including those with gastrointestinal conditions, in Taiwan? A cross-sectional survey.

ABSTRACT: Many studies have shown that Taiwan's diabetes pay-for-performance (P4P) program can improve several patients' clinical outcomes; however, it remains unclear whether P4P initiatives yield effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for all diabetes patients as well as those with comorbidities, especially comorbid gastrointestinal conditions.

Data were collected across 6 hospitals. We used the five-level version of the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D-5L) to obtain scores for health disutility. The scores for these measures were subsequently predicted via a generalized linear model (GLM) with a g
