Meta-analysis identified modest, significant improvements amongst participants in nurse management interventions (NMIs) in the following clinical outcomes: mean SBP, mean DBP and mean total cholesterol. The majority of outcomes studied did not show any advantage to adding NMIs to general practitioner care. Two studies reported significant improvements of participants with poor control in mean haemoglobin A1c. An RCT that investigates the effect of NMIs on patients, with poor control in regard to clinical outcomes and cost effectiveness, is recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
