Abstract | Background: The outcomes of education and counseling by medical professionals for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are unclear. This study examined the effects of the Chronic Disease Management Program (CDMP), a health insurance fee-for-service benefit, on the incidence of diabetic complications in patients newly diagnosed with T2DM using the National Health Insurance data. Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with T2DM aged ≥ 20 years from 2010 to 2014 were followed up until 2015. Selection bias was minimized using propensity score matching. A stratified Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the association between the CDMP and the risk of incident diabetic complications. Subgroup analysis was performed for patients with high medication adherence, which was indicated by a medication possession ratio (MPR) ≥ 80. Results: Among the 11,915 patients with T2DM in the cohort, 4,617 were assigned to the CDMP and non-CDMP group each. The CDMP helped reduce the overall and microvascular risks of complications compared to the non-CDMP group; however, the protective effect against macrovascular complications was only observed in those aged ≥ 40 years. Subgroup analysis of the group aged ≥ 40 years with high adherence (an MPR ≥ 80) showed that the CDMP effectively reduced the incidence of micro- and macrovascular complications. Conclusions: Effective management of T2DM is crucial in preventing complications in patients with the condition, and includes regular monitoring and adjustment of treatment by qualified physicians. Nevertheless, long-term prospective studies on the effects of CDMP are required to confirm this finding. |
