Evaluating quality of overall care among older adults with diabetes with comorbidities in Ontario, Canada: A retrospective cohort study
BMJ Open Feb 18, 2020
Petrosyan Y, et al. - A population-based, retrospective cohort study was performed to explore whether the quality of overall care for older people with diabetes is differentially affected by types and number of comorbid conditions and investigate the association between the process of care measures and the likelihood of all-cause hospitalizations. Researchers included a total of 673,197 individuals aged 65 years and older who had diabetes comorbid with hypertension, chronic ischaemic heart disease, osteoarthritis or depression on 1 April 2010 in the province of Ontario, Canada. The results demonstrated that there is a necessity for concentrating on improving continuity of care and prioritizing treatment in older adults with diabetes with any multiple conditions but particularly in those with diabetes-discordant conditions (eg, depression).
