Characteristics of Included Studies for Chronic Disease Interventions in Malaysia

39 publications describing 32 primary health care interventions for diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in Malaysia, mapped against the Chronic Care Model. The dataset was compiled by Xin Rou Teh via a scoping review of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and MyMedR up to December 2024. The earliest study was published in 2012, with the highest number of publications in 2020.

Use Cases

• Map intervention components against Chronic Care Model domains based on the description of self-management support and delivery system design.
• Analyze geographic distribution of studies based on the mention of Kelantan and Selangor as common locations.
• Identify gaps in intervention scope based on the reported focus on diabetes and limited community linkages.
• Track publication trends over time based on the reported earliest study in 2012 and peak in 2020.

Strengths

• Includes 39 publications describing 32 distinct interventions.
• Focuses on three specific chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia) with quantified prevalence.
• Provides temporal context with studies from 2012 to 2024.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (106.0 KB), indicating limited scope.
