To help primary care physicians follow guidelines and mitigate the workload in primary care communities in China, we developed a guideline-based decision tree. This study aimed to validate it at 3 months with real-world data.<h4>Methods</h4>The decision tree was developed based on the 2017 Chinese Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) guideline and 2018 guideline for primary care. It was validated with the data from two registry studies: the NEW2D and ORBIT studies. Patients' data were divided into two groups: the compliance and non-compliance group, depending on whether the physician's prescription was consistent with the decision Diabetes therapy : research, treatment and education of diabetes and related disorders1887-1899https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8266924biostudies-literatureA Guideline-Based Decision Tree Achieves Better Glucose Control with Less Hypoglycemia at 3 Months in Chinese Diabetic Patients.PMC8266924Yin HCui NHuang YLiao XZhang XJi LLuo YLi AZhao TSun XWu HZhang PfalseA Guideline-Based Decision Tree Achieves Better Glucose Control with Less Hypoglycemia at 3 Months in Chinese Diabetic Patients.<h4>Introduction</h4>China has the world's largest diabetes epidemic and has been facing a serious shortage of primary care providers for chronic diseases including diabetes.
