Bogner et al. (2007) conducted an RCT in Depression and diabetes (n=584). Depression care management program vs. Usual care was evaluated on Mortality (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.24-0.98). A depression care management program reduced the risk of mortality among older depressed patients with diabetes compared to usual care (HR 0.49; 95% CI 0.24-0.98).
