Adherence
Among patients who actively participate in telephone health coaching (per-protocol analysis), the intervention significantly reduces the risk of renal insufficiency and composite cardiovascular events.
If you choose to try phone coaching for heart or diabetes issues, your active participation is crucial. The study found that those who actually engaged with the coaches saw significant reductions in kidney problems and heart events. If you drop out or don't engage, you likely won't see these benefits.
GoodQualifiesMEDIUM confidence
The secondary PP-analysis showed statistically significant benefits for those who participated in the study.
Why this rating
High-quality registry data, but subgroup/per-protocol analyses are inherently more prone to bias than ITT.
