Scientific titleSix-monthly monitoring compared with three-monthly monitoring in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a randomised, controlled, patient-preference equivalence trial in primary care
Study acronymEFFIMODI
Study objectivesAs of 30/03/2010 this record has been updated; all changes can be found in the relevant field with the above update date.

Current primary objective as of 30/03/2010:
Does six-monthly monitoring of well controlled people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in primary care lead to equivalent cardiometabolic control as three-monthly monitoring?

Initial primary objective at time of registration:
Does six-monthly monitoring of well controlled people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in primary care lead to equivalent glycaemic control as three-monthly monitoring?

Secondary objectives:
1. What are the costs of six-monthly follow up of DM2 patients compared with three-monthly follow up?
2. In case the three-monthly follow up is more effective than the six-monthly follow up: what is the incremental cost-effectiveness of three-monthly versus six-monthly follow up of DM2 patients in general practice?
Ethics approval(s)Medical Research Ethics Committee (MREC) Utrecht approved on the 17th March 2009 (ref: 08-453, CCMO number: NL25787 041 08)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedType 2 diabetes mellitus
InterventionControl: three-monthly diabetes monitoring by general practitioner and practice nurse
Intervention: six-monthly diabetes monitoring by general practitioner and practice nurse
The intervention will last one and a half year.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureCurrent information as of 30/03/2010:
Percentage of people that remains under good cardiometabolic control, defined as having HbA1c less than or equal to 7.5% and systolic blood pressure less than or equal to 145 mmHg and total cholesterol less than or equal to 5.2 mmol/l. HbA1c, systolic blood pressure and total cholesterol will be collected from the general practitioners' Information System.

Initial information at time of registration:
Change in glycaemic control, expressed as the mean change in HbA1c percentage between baseline and follow-up. HbA1c will be collected from the general practitioners' Information System.
Secondary outcome measuresDifferences in:
1. Blood pressure, collected from the general practitioners’ Information System
2. Body mass index, collected from the general practitioners’ Information System
3. Cholesterol, collected from the general practitioners’ Information System
4. Fasting blood glucose, collected from the general practitioners’ Information System
5. Lifestyle factors (smoking behaviour, physical activity), measured using the SQUASH questionnaire before and after the intervention period
6. Patients' quality of life, measured using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and EuroQoL questionnaire (EQ5D) before and after the intervention period
7. Diabetes-specific distress, measured using the Problem Areas In Diabetes (PAID) questionnaire before and after the intervention period
8. Satisfaction with care, measured using the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) before and after the intervention period
9. Adherence with medications, collected from the general practitioners’ Information System

Added as of 30/03/2010:
10. HbA1c, collected from the general practitioners' Information System
