Effects of information technology-based tools on long-term self management of diabetic and non-diabetic patients with coronary heart disease
Project location: China
Funding organisation
Primary research aim
The primary aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of information technology-based tool (short message services) on improvement of long-term adherence to secondary prevention and risk factors control among patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD), including those with diabetes.
Secondary research aim
The secondary aims are:
1. To determine the factors affecting the adherence to secondary prevention and risk factors control rate among the patients with CAD, including those with diabetes.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of long term strategies of management on the patients with CAD, including those with diabetes.
3. To provide an overview of long term prognosis of the patients with CAD, including those with diabetes, to estimate the overall disease burden.
4. To investigate the association of blood pressure, serum glucose and lipid level with long term prognosis among the patients with CAD, including those with diabetes.
