Optimizing physician‐encounter frequency for type 2 diabetes patients in primary care based on cardiovascular risk assessment: A target trial emulation study
For T2D patients with a calculated 10-year CVD risk of less than 20%, the interval of regular physician encounters can be optimized from 2-3 to 4-6 months without compromising patients' long-term outcomes and saving substantial service resources in primary care.
