This study aimed to evaluate the health-related outcomes of PROLANIS among T2D patients in the eastern border region. METHODS This retrospective cohort study used secondary data from PROLANIS reports of all primary healthcare facilities in Atambua Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Inclusion criteria were all T2D patients who participated in routine 6-month evaluations conducted between June 2023 and December 2023. The assessed parameters and their defined targets were body mass index (BMI) (18.5–23 kg/m²), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (<140 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (<90 mmHg), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (<7%), total cholesterol (TC) (<200 mg/dl), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (>40 mg/dl for males and >50 mg/dl for females), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (<100 mg/dl), and triglycerides (TGs) (<150 mg/dl). Wilcoxon signed-rank and paired t-tests were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS There were 51 T2D patients included in the analyses. Of these, 84% achieved SBP and 96% achieved DBP targets. However, only 45% achieved HbA1c, and 33% achieved BMI targets. For lipid profiles, 55%, 51%, 47%, and 41% achieved TC, LDL, HDL, and TG targets, respectively. No significant differences were found between baseline and follow-up across these parameters (all p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS In the border region, while PROLANIS maintains blood pressure levels, it does not significantly improve other health-related outcomes in T2D patients. This underscores the need to strengthen program intensity, support adherence, and address contextual barriers to achieve meaningful metabolic improvements. ## Keywords - Medicine - Body mass index - Diabetes mellitus - Blood pressure - Type 2 diabetes - Physical therapy - Internal medicine - Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - Cohort study - Chronic disease - Primary care - Obesity - Diabetes management - Disease management - Cohort - Hemoglobin - Retrospective cohort study - Glycated hemoglobin - Disease - Metabolic syndrome - Indonesian - Lipid profile - Cross-sectional study - Disease burden - Blood lipids --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
