Theory-based diabetes self-management education with pre-selection of participants: a randomized controlled trial with 2.5 years' follow-up (ELDES Study).

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To evaluate the (cost-)effectiveness of Beyond Good Intentions (BGI), a 12-week group-based, nurse-led self-management programme, in terms of cardiovascular risk factors, self-management and quality of life, after 2.5 years of follow-up in pre-selected individuals with known Type 2 diabetes of up to 5 years' duration.

Methods

A parallel randomized controlled trial comparing BGI with usual care, based on a self-management screening questionnaire, was conducted in 43 general practices after pre-selection of participants. After 2.5 years of follow-up, the between-group changes in the abovementioned variables were assessed using analysis of covariance.

Results

A total of 108 participants (BGI group, n =56; control group, n =52) were included. Changes over time in BMI (-0.4 vs -0.5 kg/m² ) were similar in the two groups. Median HbA_1c [BGI group 47 mmol/mol (6.5%); control group: 49 mmol/mol (6.6%)] and mean systolic blood pressure (BGI group: 132±13 mmHg; control group: 133±14 mmHg) were well controlled at baseline and no intervention effect was found. LDL cholesterol levels decreased from 2.4 to 2.2 mmol/l in the control group and remained stable at 2.6 mmol/l in the intervention group (P=0.032). No intervention effect was found for self-management or quality of life.

Conclusion

In contrast to the first BGI study, we did not observe significant effects of the BGI intervention, despite pre-selection of individuals. In diabetes populations with target levels for HbA_1c , systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, no further beneficial effects can be expected from self-management programmes with regard to biomedical factors and quality of life.

Project description:With patients living a decade or longer post-procedure, long-term data are needed to assess the durability of carotid artery stenting versus carotid endarterectomy. Identifying characteristics of those consenting or declining to continue in long-term follow-up may suggest strategies to improve retention in clinical trials.This report describes differences between patients choosing or declining to continue follow-up for up to 10?years in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial.Following completion of the primary outcome, patients who were in active Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial follow-up were asked to continue beyond their original 4-year commitment for a maximum of 10?years. The characteristics of those who consented were compared with those who declined. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were used for analysis, and backwards stepwise logistic regression (the most parsimonious model) was used to determine the factors associated with continuation.Of the 1921 active Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial participants for whom consent to extend follow-up was requested, 1695 (88%; mean age: 68.4) consented; 226 (12%; mean age: 69.6) declined. Of those who did not consent versus those who consented, 66% versus 48% were symptomatic at baseline (p<0.0001), at follow-up 28% versus 20% were smokers (p=0.009), 85% versus 90% were hypertensive (p=0.01), and 84% versus 94% were dyslipidemic (p<0.0001). Additional factors that differed between those who did not consent and those who consented included the mean number of years in the study at time of consent (4.8?years vs 3.7?years (p=<0.0001)) and patients from sites that enrolled <30 patients compared to sites randomizing 30 or more (70% vs 52% (p<0.0001)). Multivariable logistic regression indicated that those with lesser odds of consenting to the extended follow-up were older (odds ratio: 0.80; 95% confidence interval: 0.67, 0.96), more likely to be symptomatic (odds ratio: 0.58; 95% confidence interval: 0.42, 0.80), smokers (odds ratio: 0.48; 95% confidence interval: 0.34, 0.70), were in the study 5+?years versus <3 (odds ratio: 0.21; 95% confidence interval: 0.13, 0.34), and at a site that randomized <30 patients (odds ratio: 0.46; 95% confidence interval: 0.33, 0.63), while patients with dyslipidemia at follow-up had increased odds of consenting (odds ratio: 2.28 (1.47, 3.54)).Symptomatic status, increasing age, randomized at lower volume centers, and longer time in follow-up were associated with reduced odds of consenting to long-term follow-up. Identifying factors associated with reduced willingness to extend participation long-term can suggest targeted strategies to improve retention in future clinical trials.
