Effects of nurse tele support via telephone calls on transition between specialized and primary care in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a CONSORT-compliant randomized clinical trial.
Background: The role of telemedicine in the transition to primary care for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is yet unknown. We aimed to evaluate this issue in well-controlled T2DM patients discharged from a tertiary clinic.
Methods: This is a CONSORT-compliant 12-month randomized clinical trial (RCT). T2DM patients with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) < 8%, being discharged to primary care from a tertiary clinic, were recruited. The intervention group periodically received nurse phone calls focusing on education. The control group received primary care as usual. The main outcome was glycemic control (HbA1c) at 12 months.
Results: 147 patients were randomized (73 in intervention vs. 74 in control groups) with no differences in baseline data. After one year, we found no differences between groups in HbA1c (7.46% ± 1.37 in intervention vs. 7.54% ± 1.6 in control group; P = 0.76). HbA1c slightly increased from baseline in both groups (0.46% in intervention vs. 0.64% in control group) at 12 months, without differences between them (P = 0.69).
Conclusions: A telemedicine intervention based on phone calls plus primary care shows a similar effect to primary care alone on T2DM patients' HbA1c after tertiary clinic discharge. Patients remained with a reasonable HbA1c during the trial, suggesting that the transition to primary care was safe.

期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
