Baseline subject characteristics
In total, 598 adults (58.9% AA, 35.3% H, and 5.9% C), with a mean age
43.8 ± 14.0 years were included in the analysis. At baseline, subjects
co-managed by MDT were older and heavier than those in the PCP group.
Between-group distribution of race, SBP, DBP, type of patient, and time
exposure to interventions were similar. The mean number of CMRF for the
total sample was 1.43 ± 1.0, higher in MDT group (1.76 ± 0.93) compared
to PCP group (0.72 ± 0.77). Total sample mean A1C was 6.8 ± 2.0, higher
in MDT group (7.0 ± 2.1) than PCP group (5.8 ± 1.4). Total sample
average number of visits was 10.5 but was 2 times higher in the MDT
group (\(\overset{\overline{}}{x}\) = 12.3) compared to the PCP group
(\(\overset{\overline{}}{x}\) = 6.6). In MDT, 30.9% of visits were for
lifestyle intervention (Table 1).
