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.
Resumen
Slightly nurse-centred interprofessional care might reduce mortality in patients with T2D. Common causes of death in general population were prevalent in patients with T2D.
