| Abstract | AIMS: We assessed the influence of patient and General Practitioner (GP) characteristics on the adherence to process of care indicators for non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes management in the Veneto Region (northeastern Italy). METHODS: Among non-insulin-treated diabetic patients aged 18-84years identified by multiple information sources, we assessed the measurement of glycated hemoglobin, microalbumin, and lipids through the year 2013. Patients' variables included gender, age, citizenship, and the attendance to Diabetes Clinics, while GP characteristics were gender, age and an attitude score derived from a questionnaire. The influence of patient and GP variables were investigated through multilevel regression with the execution of two HbA1c tests in 2013 as the outcome. RESULTS: Out of 139,935 study subjects, more than 70% had at least one HbA1c test in 2013; this percentage decreased to about 40% for two HbA1c examinations. 67% of patients had an assessment of lipid profile, while 45% underwent a microalbumin test. These percentages were lower for immigrant patients and increased with age until the 65-74years age class. Patients attending Diabetes Clinics were usually better monitored than those who did not. In this latter group, female gender (risk ratio 1.08, 1.02-1.14), younger age (risk ratio 1.15, 1.06-1.25) and high attitude score of GPs (risk ratio 1.20, 1.13-1.27) were associated with a better management. CONCLUSIONS: Both patient and GP variables influence the adherence to process of care indicators. The implementation of effective strategies of disease management at the primary care level may improve the control of glycemic and cardiovascular risk factors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
