Abstract:
Background: Diabetic complications are a chronic and complex condition that can be delayed or prevented with early interventions and effective treatment. The interdisciplinary care interventions that endocrinologists play a major role in within the primary care team were the focus of this systematic study.
Method: The PRISMA reporting guidelines were followed for this systematic study. We searched Google Scholar, SCOPUS, EMBASE, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and CINAHL to locate all pertinent articles published between 2013 and 2019. Full text studies and research articles authored in English were included. The terms we used were diabetes mellitus, clinical outcome, multidisciplinary team, and integrated health care systems.
Result: In this systematic analysis, we considered 5 studies with a total of 1809 patients. A clinical audit, an open controlled trial, a longitudinal cohort study, and two randomized controlled trials made up the studies. HbA1c, blood pressure, cholesterol, eGFR, weight, BMI, and albumin creatinine ratio are among the outcomes that are assessed.
Conclusion: This study shows that patients with diabetes mellitus can benefit from improved treatment when utilizing an integrated PHC and secondary care strategy as opposed to standard care, which can result in noticeable improvements in results.
