Effect of Team-Based Care on Chronic Disease Control: Hypertension and Diabetes
The study included 23,492 patients, including 13,492 diabetic and 10,003 hypertensive patients. TBC intervention significantly improved diabetic patients' glycemic control, evidenced by a mean HbA1c reduction from 7.5% to 7.2% across all demographic subgroups. Furthermore, TBC led to a statistically significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) among hypertensive patients across most demographic groups, with an overall mean decrease from 134.3 to 131.2 mmHg. Conclusion: The study confirms the effectiveness of TBC in managing hypertension and diabetes. To maximize benefits, tailored interventions, regional adaptations, and comprehensive training for healthcare providers are crucial.
