  • Title: Effect of a collaborative care model on depressive symptoms and cardiometabolic trajectories in patients with co-morbid depression and diabetes in India (INDEPENDENT Study)

  • Institution: Madras Diabetes Research Foundation & Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre, Chennai. University of Washington, Seattle, United States. All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.Endocrine and Diabetes Centre, Visakhapatnam, India. DIACON Hospital, Diabetes Care and Research Centre, Bangalore India.

  • Background: Comorbid depression and type 2 diabetes are associated with poor glycaemic control, increased complications, poor self – management along with increased health care use, compared to either condition alone.
  • Objective: We examined the effect of an integrated care model that brings depression care into diabetes clinics (INtegrating DEPrEssioN and Diabetes treatmENT [INDEPENDENT]) on trajectories of depressive symptoms of the participants at 12, 24 and 36 months.
  • Methods: Participants with comorbid depression and diabetes were recruited from four sites for this study. The participants at 24 months and 36 months, who had at least a 50% reduction in Patient Health Questionnaire 9(PHQ-9) scores or a reduction of at least 0.5 percentage points in HbA1c or 5mmHg in SBP, or 10 mg/dL in LDL cholesterol was studied. We identified groups of treatment responses over 36 months of follow-up after randomization. The participants were categorised as sustainers, when they responded to treatment at 12, 24 and 36 months, as reverters, when they responded to treatment at 12 months but did not sustain the positive response at 24 or at 36 months and non – responders, when they did not respond at the end of 12 months . The mean and 95% CI were calculated to categorise participant outcomes.
  • Results: Among 404 patients randomized, 394 completed 12 months, 378 completed 24 months and 331 completed 3 months follow-up. At 24 and 36 months, Sustainers were higher in the intervention arm compared to the control arm for ≥50% improvement in depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 scores) ( At 24 months - intervention arm (60.0 % [95%CI, 50.25%-64.18%]) Vs control arm (43 %; [95%CI, 35.82%-49.75%]) and at 36 months in the intervention arm (51.9 % [95%CI, 44.10%-59.80%]) Vs 36.2 %; [95%CI, 28.8%-43.6%]) in the control arm). Reverters of depressive symptoms at 24 months was higher in the intervention arm compared to the control arm (16.2 % [95%CI, 11.60%-22.20%]vs 5.6 %; [95%CI, 3.21%-9.91%]). Similarly in 36 months(21.2 % [95%CI, 14.70%-27.6%]vs 11.7 %; [95%CI, 6.70%-16.5%]). At 12 months, non-responders were greater in the control arm. ≥50% improvement in depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 scores) was not accomplished by intervention arm (23.7 % [95%CI, 23.33%-38.33%]) and control arm( 51.2%; [95%CI, 44.28%-58.35%]).
  • Conclusion: When intervention is provided to those with comorbid depression and diabetes, the participants who received intervention showed sustained improvement in depressive symptoms, at the end of 36 months.
