A prospective randomized controlled study of clinical pharmacists led chronic disease management to improve clinical indicators in patients with type 2 diabetes
Objective:To evaluate the effects of chronic disease management led by clinical pharmacists on the clinical indexes (blood glucose,blood pressure,blood lipid) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using a prospective randomized controlled study.Methods:The study included 49 patients with type 2 diabetes.All patients received the same treatment in hospital.On the principle of allocation concealment,the patients were randomly divided into intervention group (26 subjects) and control group (23 subjects) when discharged.Clinical pharmacists followed up the patients in the intervention group regularly,to improve the treatment plans according to the clinical indicators of the patients,to carry out continuous diabetes education to the patients,and to monitor adverse reactions.After 3 months,clinical indicators (glycosylated hemoglobin,low density lipoprotein,systolic blood pressure) of patients for the two groups were reviewed.Results:In the intervention group,the standard rate of glycosylated hemoglobin,the improvement of low density lipoprotein and systolic blood pressure were better than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The chronic disease management led by clinical pharmacists can improve the clinical treatment effects of type 2 diabetes patients.
