Dambha-Miller H, et al. - Among patients with type 2 diabetes, researchers explored the connection between primary care practitioner (physician and nurse) empathy and incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and all-cause mortality. Study participants included 867 people with screen-detected type 2 diabetes who were followed up for an average of 10 years until December 31, 2014, in the Anglo-Danish-Dutch Study of Intensive Treatment in People With Screen Detected Diabetes in Primary Care (ADDITION)-Cambridge trial. In the multivariable model, higher empathy scores were linked to a lower risk of CVD events and a lower risk of all-cause mortality vs the lowest tertile. In the year after the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, positive patient experiences of practitioner empathy was related to beneficial long-term clinical results.
