Aims<\/strong> — To determine whether sharing the same ethnicity as their family physician influenced the quality of diabetes care for Chinese and South Asian patients in Ontario, Canada. <\/p>rn

Methods<\/strong> — The researchers conducted two related studies: a population-based cohort study of Chinese and South Asian patients with incident diabetes using healthcare administrative data (n\u2005=\u200549,484), and a cross-sectional study of Chinese and South Asian patients with established diabetes using data collected directly from their family physicians’ clinical records (n\u2005=\u2005416). In both studies, quality of care measures were compared between patients whose family physicians were or were not from the same ethnic group. <\/p>rn

Results<\/strong> — In the cohort study, Chinese patients whose family physicians were also Chinese were more likely to have a diabetes-related family physician visit and appropriate HbA1c and cholesterol testing. In the cross-sectional study, they were more likely to have foot examinations, to have microalbuminuria testing, and to achieve recommended treatment targets for HbA1c and for LDL-cholesterol. In contrast, for South Asian patients, most quality measures in either study did not differ by physician ethnicity. <\/p>rn

Conclusions<\/strong> — Having a family physician from the same ethnic group was associated with better quality of diabetes care for Chinese but not for South Asian patients.<\/p>\",\n \"Keywords\": \"{26EB1DB1-6793-4CB3-9CFB-DFF37E09FB5A}|{EE2080A9-E23C-4C90-87BE-BBFCC62C167F}|{713DC61D-206F-4E9B-8C00-D4EB3CA7BAB4}\",\n \"Related Products\": \"
