About this study

Official title: The Dissemination of Consensus Recommendations on the Management of Canadian Patients With Non Variceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A National Cluster Randomized Trial of a Multifaceted Tailored Implementation Strategy

The purpose of this study is to assess whether adherence to NVUGIB guidelines is improved with implementation of a national, tailored multifaceted intervention. Outcomes include adherence rates to two key endoscopic and pharmacological therapy guidelines together (primary), or adherence to these individually as well as to other recommendations (secondary). Patient outcomes and economic data are also assessed (tertiary).

Read the detailed description

Clusters are randomized to receive a published algorithm and guidelines (control group), or a multifaceted, tailored educational intervention (see details in protocol - intervention group). The charts of treated patients with non variceal upper GI bleeding are reviewed and adherence to selected guidelines recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Educational intervention in people with Peptic Ulcer Hemorrhage, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adherence to guidelines G10 and G17 of the 2003 International Consensus Guidelines on nonvariceal upper GI bleeding. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00840008, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
