AB  - AIMS: To assess the effect of a structured education intervention, Patient 
      Empowerment Programme (PEP) patient-reported health-related quality of life 
      (HRQOL) among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, and if positive effect is 
      confirmed, to further explore any association between frequency of sessions 
      attendance and HRQOL. METHODS: A total of 298 T2DM patients were recruited when 
      they attended the first session of PEP, between March and September 2010, and 
      were followed over a one-year period from baseline. HRQOL data were assessed 
      using Short Form-12 Health Survey version 2 (SF-12) and Short Form-6 Dimension 
      (SF-6D) at baseline and one-year follow-up. Individuals' anthropometric and 
      biomedical data were extracted from an administrative database in Hong Kong. 
      Unadjusted and adjusted analyses of linear regression models were performed to 
      examine the impact of PEP session attendance on the change in the HRQOL scores, 
      accounting for the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics at baseline. 
      RESULTS: Of the 298 eligible patients, 257 (86.2%) participated in the baseline 
      assessment and 179 (60.1%) patients completed the follow-up assessment, 
      respectively. Overall, PEP resulted in a significant improvement in SF-12 bodily 
      pain and role emotional subscales and SF-6D utility scores. These positive 
      changes were not associated with the level of participation as shown in both 
      unadjusted and adjusted analyses. CONCLUSIONS: The PEP made significant 
      improvement in bodily pain, role emotional and overall aspects of HRQOL. Higher 
      number of session attendance was not associated with improvement in HRQOL in 
      primary care real-world setting. Key Messages ● Participants with type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus who participated in structured diabetes education programme made 
      significant improvement in bodily pain and role emotional subscales and SF-6D 
      scores. ● There was no association between the number of sessions attended and 
      any aspect of HRQOL.
