Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The mean scores and 95% confidence intervals for the Adjusted Necessity Score (ANS), Adjusted Concern Scale (ACS), and the Necessity-Concern Differential (NCD) will be calculated and presented graphically for patients with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The mean scores and 95% confidence intervals for the FACIT-Satisfaction with Pharmacist (FACITSWiP) and the short version of the Wake Forest Physician Trust Scale (WFPTS) will be calculated and presented graphically for patients with chronic metabolic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia). To evaluate the relationship between satisfaction with pharmacists and trust in physicians, a scatter plot will be created using the FACIT-SWiP and WFPTS scores. The correlation coefficient and its 95% confidence interval will also be calculated. The proportions of patients who experienced dose increases or additions of prescribed medications will be calculated at 6 months and 12 months, treating these as events. Time to dose increase or addition of prescribed medications will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Group comparisons based on baseline variables will be conducted using the log-rank test. Additionally, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) will be estimated using the Cox proportional hazards model to evaluate differences between groups. | — |
