NCT02176278

Brief Summary

In this quality improvement program (DKD-TMT), patients will be recruited from multiple sites across Asia, with each site recruiting at least 300 type 2 diabetic patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). After explanation by trained doctors and nurses, and with written informed consent, patients will be randomized to the UC (n=100, usual care) group, the EC (n=100, empowered care) group, or the TEC (n=100, team-based, empowered care) group. Patients in all 3 groups will undergo a comprehensive assessment (CA) guided by the templates in the Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) portal at baseline and at month 12. They will also self-administer a set of questionnaires for assessing quality of life and psychological distress during the CA at both time points. During the 12 months between the 2 CAs:

  • Patients in the UC group will receive UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution.
  • Patients in the EC group will receive a JADE summary report with personalized risk prediction, treatment targets and decision support with explanation from the doctor and nurse. In addition to receiving UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution, the nurse will telephone the patient 3-monthly to remind them to adhere to treatment, provide support and empower them to discuss with their doctors about their treatment needs and any concerns.
  • Patients in the TEC group will be followed by a doctor-nurse team at least 3 monthly to achieve multiple targets, but tailored to patients' risk profile. The patients will receive telephone reminders and also be given a JADE follow up report 3-monthly. The primary composite endpoint is attainment of treatment goals and/or control of risk factors. The secondary composite endpoint is all-diabetes related clinical endpoints. The tertiary changes are behavioral changes, psychological well-being and quality of life.

Study Arms (3)

Usual Care Group

NO INTERVENTION

Usual care (UC) group: After undergoing a comprehensive assessment, all patients will receive UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution and return at 12 months for a repeat comprehensive assessment.

Empowered Care Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Empowered care (EC) group: After undergoing a comprehensive assessment, all patients will be given a JADE comprehensive assessment report which is a personalize risk report with treatment targets and decision support with explanation from the doctor and nurse. In addition to receiving UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution, the nurse will provide telephone reminder to patient 3-monthly to remind them to adhere to treatment, provide support and empower them to discuss with their doctors about their treatment needs and any concerns. All patients will return at 12 month for a repeat comprehensive assessment.

Other: Telephone ReminderOther: Personalized Risk Report for Patient Empowerment

Team-based, Empowered Care Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Team-based, empowered care (TEC) group: After undergoing a comprehensive assessment, patients randomized to the TEC group will be given a JADE comprehensive assessment report which is a personalized risk report for patient empowerment. They will receive telephone reminders and doctor-nurse follow up at least 3 monthly to achieve multiple targets recommended. The patients will also be given JADE reports 3-monthly and return at 12 month for a repeat comprehensive assessment.

Other: Telephone ReminderOther: Doctor-Nurse Follow UpOther: Personalized Risk Report for Patient Empowerment

Interventions

Nurse will provide telephone contact to patients every 3 month to remind them to adhere to treatment, provide support and empower them to discuss with their doctors about their treatment needs and any concerns

Empowered Care GroupTeam-based, Empowered Care Group

Patient will be followed by a doctor-nurse team at least 3 monthly to achieve multiple targets recommended as A1c\<7%, BP\<130/80 mmHg, LDL-C\<1.8 mmol/l, triglyceride\<1.7 mmol/l and persistence with RAS inhibitors taking into consideration safety and tolerability (e.g. hypoglycemia, hypotension, changes in electrolytes). Patient report will be given after follow up.

Team-based, Empowered Care Group

Patients will be given with personalized risk reports after baseline and 12-month repeat comprehensive assessments.
