OBJECTIVES: Diabetes is a complex disease requiring daily self-management of diet and activity, yet many patients do not receive recommended self-management education, medical nutrition therapy, or team-based care that includes registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs). Such service deficits contribute to challenges in meeting combined diabetes care goals. We evaluated the impact of adding RDN-supervised dietetic interns to an established primary care interprofessional education/teamwork model on patients' clinical outcomes and health professions students' team skills...

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is the most common comorbidity in patients with cancer. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of hypertension by demographic characteristics and cancer type among hospitalized patients with cancer. METHODS: Hospitalized cancer patients were included using 2016-2018 National Inpatient Sample data. The independent variable was the presence of hypertension, which was further classified as primary, secondary, and other hypertension. Patient characteristics were grouped by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and the 12 most common cancer types...

OBJECTIVES: To support patients with limited health literacy with the challenges they face in the day-to-day management of their disease(s), numerous self-management interventions (SMIs) have been developed. To date, it is unclear to what extent SMIs have been developed for chronically ill patients with limited health literacy. This study aims to provide a description of these SMIs and to provide insight in their methodological components. METHODS: A secondary analysis of the COMPAR-EU database, consisting of SMIs addressing patients with diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obesity and heart failure, was conducted...
