N2 - Objective: To assess the effectiveness of an intervention in Type 2 diabetic patients with concurrent psychiatric illness (PI) and compare this with the effectiveness in patients without PI. Method: In the Diabetes Care in General Practice trial, 1381 patients newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes were randomized to 6 years of structured personal diabetes care or routine diabetes care (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01074762). In this observational post-hoc analysis, the effectiveness of the intervention for diabetes in 179 patients with concurrent PI was analyzed. Results: During the 19-year follow-up period, patients with PI in the structured personal care group experienced a lower risk for all-cause mortality [105.3 vs. 140.4 events per 1000 patient-years; hazard ratio (HR): 0.63, P = 0.023, multivariably adjusted], diabetes-related death (66.0 vs. 95.1; HR: 0.57, P = 0.015), any diabetes-related endpoint (169.5 vs. 417.5; HR: 0.47, P = 0.0009) and myocardial infarction (54.1 vs. 104.4; HR: 0.48, P = 0.013), compared to patients with PI in the routine care group. This translates into a number needed to treat over 10 years of three or lower for these outcomes. Conclusion: These findings suggest that in primary care, structured diabetes care allowing for individualization was highly effective among diabetic patients with co-occurring PI.
