Effect of collaborative depression treatment on risk for diabetes: A 9-year follow-up of the IMPACT randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Considerable epidemiologic evidence and plausible biobehavioral mechanisms suggest that depression is an independent risk factor for diabetes. Moreover, reducing the elevated diabetes risk of depressed individuals is imperative given that both conditions are leading causes of death and disability. However, because no prior study has examined clinical diabetes outcomes among depressed patients at risk for diabetes, the question of whether depression treatment prevents or delays diabetes onset remains unanswered. Accordingly, we examined the effect of a 12-month collaborative care program for late-life depression on 9-year diabetes incidence among depressed, older adults initially free of diabetes. Participants were 119 primary care patients [M (SD) age: 67.2 (6.9) years, 41% African American] with a depressive disorder but without diabetes enrolled at the Indiana sites of the Improving Mood-Promoting Access to Collaborative Treatment (IMPACT) trial. Incident diabetes cases were defined as diabetes diagnoses, positive laboratory values, or diabetes medication prescription, and were identified using electronic medical record and Medicare/Medicaid data. Surprisingly, the rate of incident diabetes in the collaborative care group was 37% (22/59) versus 28% (17/60) in the usual care group. Even though the collaborative care group exhibited greater reductions in depressive symptom severity (p = .024), unadjusted (HR = 1.29, 95% CI: 0.69-2.43, p = .428) and adjusted (HR = 1.18, 95% CI: 0.61-2.29, p = .616) Cox proportional hazards models indicated that the risk of incident diabetes did not differ between the treatment groups. Our novel preliminary findings raise the possibility that depression treatment alone may be insufficient to reduce the excess diabetes risk of depressed, older adults.

Project description:BACKGROUND:There is a tremendous opportunity for innovative mental health care solutions such as psychiatric care through videoconferencing to increase the number of people who have access to quality care. However, studies are needed to generate empirical evidence on the use of psychiatric outpatient care via videoconferencing, particularly in low- and middle-income countries and clinically unsupervised settings. OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of home-based treatment for mild depression through psychiatric consultations via videoconferencing. METHODS:A randomized controlled trial with a 6- and 12-month follow-up including adults with mild depression treated in an ambulatory setting was conducted. In total, 107 participants were randomly allocated to the videoconferencing intervention group (n=53) or the face-to-face group (F2F; n=54). The groups did not differ with respect to demographic characteristics at baseline. The F2F group completed monthly follow-up consultations in person. The videoconferencing group received monthly follow-up consultations with a psychiatrist through videoconferencing at home. At baseline and after 6 and 12 months, in-person assessments were conducted with all participants. Clinical outcomes (severity of depression, mental health status, medication course, and relapses), satisfaction with treatment, therapeutic relationship, treatment adherence (appointment compliance and dropouts), and medication adherence were assessed. RESULTS:The severity of depression decreased significantly over the 12-month follow-up in both the groups. There was a significant difference between groups regarding treatment outcomes throughout the follow-up period, with better results in the videoconferencing group. There were 4 relapses in the F2F group and only 1 in the videoconferencing group. No significant differences between groups regarding mental health status, satisfaction with treatment, therapeutic relationship, treatment adherence, or medication compliance were found. However, after 6 months, the rate of dropouts was significantly higher in the F2F group (18.5% vs 5.7% in the videoconferencing group, P<.05). CONCLUSIONS:Psychiatric treatment through videoconferencing in clinically unsupervised settings can be considered feasible and as effective as standard care (in-person treatment) for depressed outpatients with respect to clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, therapeutic relationship, treatment adherence, and medication compliance. These results indicate the potential of telepsychiatry to extend access to psychiatric care to remote and underserved populations.

Project description:IntroductionScheduled routine visits in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be in a stable period without active disease. Consequently, there is a demand for developing outpatient control procedures which cater to the needs of the individual patient.ObjectiveThis study aims to compare a patient-controlled outpatient follow-up system, Open Outpatient Clinic Programme (OOCP), with traditional scheduled routine follow-up (TSRF) regarding patient satisfaction and disease activity markers in RA patients.MethodIn a 2-year randomized controlled trial, RA patients were allocated to OOCP or TSRF. OOCP patients had no scheduled appointments but were allowed acute appointments with their rheumatologist and had access to nurse-led consultations and a telephone helpline. Appointments for the TSRF group were scheduled according to routine procedures (clinical parameters: DAS-28, C-reactive protein, VAS pain, tender and swollen joint count, HAQ-DI and radiographs; psychological parameters: VAS patient satisfaction and EQ-5D).ResultsOf 282 patients, 239 completed the study (OOCP/TSRF characteristics: age 61.4 ± 10.5/60.9 ± 12.2 years, females 77/74%, ACPA positive 66/65%). At years 1 and 2, OCCP had fewer visits (year 2: 2.6 ± 1.6 vs. 3.5 ± 2; p < 0.0005) but more phone calls (year 2: 0.7 ± 1.4 vs. 0.1 ± 0.3; p < 0.0005) compared to TSRF. OOCP was comparable to TSRF regarding clinical and psychological outcome measures, and no radiographic progression was observed.ConclusionsOOCP was associated with significantly fewer visits but with more phone calls to the nurse and was comparable with TSGentofte University HospitalRF regarding clinical, psychological and radiographic outcomes. Thus, the organization of outpatient care according to OOCP may be applied to strengthen patient-centred care in patients with RA. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier (July 20, 2020): NCT04476875 Key points • In a patient-controlled outpatient follow-up system, RA patients had significantly fewer visits compared to traditional follow-up. • The patient-controlled follow-up system was comparable with traditional follow-up regarding clinical, psychological and radiographic outcomes. • Organization of outpatient care according to a patient-controlled follow-up system may be applied to strengthen patient-centred care in patients with RA.
