Abstract
Objectives
People with type 2 diabetes and increased systolic blood pressure (SBP) are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between CVD-related hospital payments and SBP and tested whether this association is influenced by diabetes peer support.
Methods
Two cohorts comprising people with type 2 diabetes were included in the study. The first cohort comprised 4,704 patients with type 2 diabetes assessed between 2008 and 2009 from 18 general practices in Cambridgeshire and followed up to 2009–2011. The second cohort comprised 1,121 patients with type 2 diabetes from post-trial follow-up data, recruited between 2011 and 2012 and followed up to 2015. SBP was measured at baseline. Inpatient payments for CVD hospitalization within 2 years since baseline was the main outcome. The impact of 1:1, group or combined diabetes peer support and usual care were investigated in the second cohort. Adjusted mean CVD inpatient payments per person were estimated using a 2-part model after adjusting for baseline characteristics.
Results
A “hockey-stick” relationship between baseline SBP and estimated CVD inpatient payment was identified in both cohorts, with a threshold at 133 to 141 mmHg, suggesting increased payments for patients with SBP below and above the threshold. The combined peer-support intervention altered the aforementioned association, with no increased payment with SBP above the threshold, and payment slightly decreased with SBP beyond the threshold.
Conclusions
SBP maintained between 133 and 141 mmHg is associated with the lowest CVD disease management costs for patients with type 2 diabetes. Combined peer-support intervention could significantly decrease CVD-related hospital payments.
