Abstract:
This study addresses a novel question about which patients with diabetes benefit from early endocrinologist care. The study reports the new finding that early endocrinologist care is associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular events and death among medically complex patients with newly diagnosed diabetes. In contrast, non‐complex patients fared equally well with primary care alone. The study was the first of its kind to use propensity score matching, among other techniques, to minimize confounding by indication in assessing the potential benefits of early specialist care in the setting of diabetes.
