Efectividad de un modelo de manejo de pacientes con hipertensión y diabetes tipo II en atención primaria

Abstract

Background: Adequate management of high blood pressure (HBP) and Type 2 Diabetes (DM2) is a challenge to the healthcare system in Chile. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a case management (CM) approach to manage HBP and DMII at Primary Healthcare (PHC) level, headed by healthcare technicians with the supervision of registered nurses. Material and Methods: Two primary health care centers were selected. In one the case management approach was used and the other continued with the usual care model. Patients with HBP or DM2 were selected to participate in both centers. The main outcomes were changes blood pressure and glycosylated hemoglobin levels. Results: Three hundred twenty-eight patients were allocated to the intervention group and 316 to control group. At the baseline evaluation, participants at the control health center had better systolic and diastolic BP levels (SBP and DBP), but no difference in glycosylated hemoglobin. After twelve months the adjusted mean difference in HBP patients for SBP was -0.93 (95% conficence intervals (CI) -5.49,3.63) and for DBP was 1.78 6.43). Among HBP+DMII patients, the mean difference for SBP . No differences in glycosylated hemoglobin were observed. In a secondary analysis, the intervention group showed a statistically significant higher SBP and DBP reduction than the control group. Conclusions: The case management approach tested in this study had promissory results among patients with high blood pressure. (Rev Med Chile 2018; 146: 1269-1277

Por otro lado, en la comuna de Puente Alto, reportaron 62,4% y 46,6%, de descompensados hipertensos y diabéticos, respectivamente 19 .…”

Análise da linha de cuidado para pacientes com diabetes mellitus e hipertensão arterial: a experiência de um município de pequeno porte no Brasil

“…Ao longo das últimas décadas, o Brasil vem passando por um rápido processo de transição epidemiológica, caracterizado pelo aumento da carga de condições crônico-degenerativas. Entre estas se destacam a hipertensão arterial sistêmica e o diabetes mellitus, cujo avanço vem gerando uma pressão sobre os custos dos sistemas de saúde e a necessidade de estratégias preventivas voltadas ao controle dessas doenças (MALTA et al, 2017;BAHIA et al, 2011;DE ALMEIDA-PITITTO et al, 2015;LOBO et al, 2017;POBLETE et al, 2018).…”
