Figure 1 .
Effect of nurse led clinics on health behaviour. The figure shows the percentage improvement in the intervention group compared to the control group (comparing mean scores for diet in Belfast and Maryland and proportions reaching targets elsewhere).
Figure 2 .
Effect of nurse led clinics on drug treatment and risk factors. The figure shows the percentage improvement in the intervention group compared to the control group (mean values for total cholesterol and systolic blood pressure are compared for the Belfast and Maryland studies and proportions on treatment or reaching targets elsewhere).
Figure 3 .
Effect of nurse led clinic on quality of life—percentage change in SF-36 scores, clinic versus control. Higher score represents improvement.5
Figure 4 .
Effect of nurse led clinic on total deaths. Adapted from Murchie et al6 with permission. CI, confidence interval; RR, relative risk.
