Effectiveness of Integrated Care for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, Cardiovascular and Chronic Respiratory Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: In this paper, we use the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC) framework to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated care in terms of enhancing the outcomes of chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), or their combinations.

Methods: The data extracted from randomized controlled trials (RCT) of integrated care interventions for DMT2, CVD, and CRD (follow-up ≥ 3 months) in 11 databases were analysed using random-effects meta-analysis.

Results: A total of 54 eligible studies covering 12,976 participants, with a mean follow-up of 54 weeks, were included.

Person-Centered Integrated Care for Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background And Objectives: The effectiveness of person-centered integrated care strategies for CKD is uncertain. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials to assess the effect of person-centered integrated care for CKD.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (from inception to April of 2016), and selected randomized, controlled trials of person-centered integrated care interventions with a minimum follow-up of 3 months.
