Obesity 1.7 1.01-2.8
High BP (>140/90) 1.5 1.01-2.3
Smoking 1.4 0.9-2.2
Low HDL (<1.0mmol/l) 1.3 0.9-1.9

Diabetes (FBG >=7.0) 2.4 1.6-3.6
Micro-albuminuria 1.4 0.9-2.3
Macro-albuminuria 4.6 2.9-7.1
Glycemia and albuminuria, especially when combined, predict much of the “gap” in CHD incidence
• Baseline prevalence of high glycemia is >25% • Baseline prevalence of albuminuria (>3.4 mmol/l) =
33.5%• Those with diabetes at baseline were 5.5 (4.2-7.3)
times more likely to have albuminuria than those without diabetes
• Adjusted CHD IRR for both diabetes and albuminuria = 5.9 (3.4-10.1)

Getting Better at Chronic Care (GBACC) in North Queensland: a cluster RCT of
community health worker care co-ordination in remote FNQ settings
Robyn McDermott, Barbara Schmidt, Vickie Owens, Cilla Preece, Sean Taylor, Adrian Esterman
“Getting better at chronic care”Cluster RCT of health-worker led case management for
high risk clients
Aim: Test if HW-led care for high risk poorly managed adults with complicated T2DM would improve care processes (checks, referrals, self management) and outcomesPrimary outcome: improved HbA1cSecondary outcomes: Improved QoL, reduced CVD risk factors and complications (avoidable hospitalisations)
Mixed methods evaluation in 3 phasesNHMRC Partnership Project, 2011-2015
GBACC: mixed methods evaluation in 3 phases
Phase 1 (Intervention period: March 2012 – Sept 2013)• Randomised controlled trial of intensive case management by IHWs
Phase 2 (Nov 2013 – Feb 2014)• Review of lessons learned• Implementation plan
Phase 3 (May 2014 – June 2015)• Economic analysis• Rollout of model

Aim: to evaluate a new approach to community-based management of “frequent flyers” in FNQ hospitals –
Hospital Avoidance Trial, 2013-16
Background: Pilot HAP in Cairns showed a dramatic reduction in ED and inpatient episodes in 68 frequent flyers using a nurse-led case management approach.• Pragmatic RCT of intensive community-based case management of frequently
hospitalised adults with chronic conditions in 3 CHHHS sites• 530 patients in 3 sites randomly assigned to • 265 Intervention: usual care plus shared electronic record including CDM tool,
close case management (caseload for each care co-ord =<40) and self-management training and support
• 265 “controls”: usual care (referral to a medical home with offer of shared record)• Eligibility criteria: 8 or more ED/inpatient episodes in the previous 12 months• Evaluation endpoints: Avoidable ED visits or hospital admissions over 18 months,
care processes (GPMP, referrals, self management training), intermediate clinical indicators (HbA1c, BP, Lipids, UACR/eGFR), disease progression, quality of life
• Economic (DRGs and AQoL) and process evaluation

Why a Randomised Controlled Trial Design?
• RCT is the most robust study design which will give the highest level of evidence: all previous published studies looking at hospital avoidance (a complex intervention in a complex environment) were uncontrolled before-and-after designs – weak evidence for policy change and unable to be properly evaluated economically
• Controls provide the counterfactual for robust clinical and economic analysis
• Randomisation deals with selection/allocation bias
• Controls deal with secular trends in exposures and outcomes, regression to the mean and changes in the policy and fiscal environment.
• Good pilot data gives a clear effect size so a robust power calculation (sample size) will ensure the question can be clearly answered without (too much) statistical error
• Will be publishable and in the public domain, not sit on the shelf
• High scientific quality will be competitive for matching NHMRC Partnership Project Grant funding
