Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in total score | 9 months | The total score was calculated by points assigned to variables (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c, aspirin usage and daily exercise). The maximal score of 100 corresponds to all variables at target. Fewer points were assigned to higher blood pressure, worse HbA1c levels, less exercise, etc. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| LDL-cholesterol | 9 months | — |
| HbA1c | 9 months | Measure of glycemic control |
