Study information

Study designA quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test control group design
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designNon randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeQuality of life
Scientific title
Study objectivesThe intervention will primarily affect the level of patient control with regard to glycemia, lipid levels and blood pressure. We will expect a substantial decline in the occurrence and severity of complications and mortality and an improved quality of life. The innovative shared diabetes care is expected to be more cost-effective than the usual diabetes care.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes Mellitus type two (DM type II)
InterventionAn innovative shared diabetes care model ('ketenzorgmodel') will be implemented in general practices in Amstelland. The 'ketenzorgmodel' will be implemented with a central organisation of the diabetes care with a central database, a central coordinating role for diabetes nurses (changed professional roles), and an active recall system. The annual diabetes check is offered to patients by the central organisation, in combination with patient education, by a diabetes nurse and a consultation with a dietician. In addition, structured education will be offered to general practitioners and their assistants, and a diabetes nurse will support diabetes care in general practice.

Diabetes patients in the control group will receive the current usual diabetes care. The control group will consist of patients of GP's who are affiliated to the Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research (NIVEL) Continuous Morbidity Registration Centres (CMR sentinel stations [CMR-Peilstations]). NIVELs 'CMR-Peilstations' consitute a representative group of 60 Dutch GPs in 45 practices throughout the Netherlands.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. The risk of developing coronary heart disease (using the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study [UKPDS] risk engine at baseline, two years before and year one and two after baseline)
2. All direct and indirect costs (cost diary)
3. Costs per life year gained
Secondary outcome measures1. Absolute levels of fasting glucose
2. HbA1c level
3. Blood pressure
4. Cholesterol
5. Percentages adequately controlled patients (in accordance with the Dutch College of Family Physicians [NHG] standards)
6. Diabetes specific and generic quality of life
7. Patient satisfaction
8. Quality of life
9. Quality of care as experienced by the patient:
a. percentage of patients that received all three-monthly check-ups
b. a complete annual check-up
c. were hospitalised
10. Total mortality measured by life expectancy
11. Total morbidity measured by morbidity-free life expectancy and the Net Present Value (NPV) of the number of life years gained
12. Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) gained for the intervention scenario compared to the current practice scenario
13.The NPV of total intervention costs
14. The NPV of total costs of care for diabetes and its complications
15. Incremental costs per QALY gained
