Level of interprofessionalism in the management of T2D in primary care: All-cause and cause-specific mortality

Key Points

• To explore the impact of interprofessionalism on mortality rates in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) within primary care settings.
• Examined the role of nurses in interprofessional care models for managing T2D.
• Analyzed all-cause and cause-specific mortality data of patients with T2D.
• Compared mortality rates between patients receiving slightly nurse-centred care and standard care.
• Slightly nurse-centred interprofessional care may lead to a reduction in overall mortality in T2D patients.
• Common mortality causes in the general population were also found in T2D patients.
