About this study

Official title: Quasi-experimental Intervention Study on Hypertension Management Combined With Comprehensive Healthy Lifestyle Promotion at Commune Level

A quasi-experimental study design was chosen to compare the model of hypertension management at commune-level with conventional management for people with high blood pressure in two communes (one for intervention versus one for reference).

A intervention model included the commune-based programme on hypertension management combined with comprehensive health promotion campaigns

Read the detailed description

A quasi-experimental study design was chosen: two communes were purposively selected from Ba-Vi setting: Phu-Phuong for reference and Phu-Cuong for intervention communes A hypertension management programme and the nested comprehensive health promotion campaigns were implemented simultaneously in Phu-Cuong while nothing performed in Phu-Phuong except for local conventional healthcare services.

The health promotion campaigns aimed at smoking cessation, reduction of alcohol consumption, encourage of unsalted diet and physical activity, all of which targeted to every local inhabitants.

The hypertension management programme focused on monthly check-ups, drug delivery and individual lifestyle consultation, all of which targeted to hypertensives only.

Baseline cross-sectional survey was used to assess cardiovascular pattern in local community before intervention and recruit people with high blood pressure for the management programme in intervention commune Repeated cross-sectional surveys were used to evaluate the impacts of health promotion.

Cohort study on hypertensives was used to evaluate the impacts of the management programme.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Commune Hypertension ManagementOther

    Also called Commune-based Hypertension Management

    People with high blood pressure will be invited to join the management programme, with monthly check-up, delivery of multi anti-hypertensive drugs and lifestyle consultation.

    Antihypertensive drugs delivered to local patients included (1) low-dose hypothiazide diuresis, (2) calcium channel blocker and (3) ACEI

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of people with high blood pressure receiving treatment and being controlled in intervention commune

    Changes in proportion of treated and controlled hypertension after 3-years intervention compared to baseline

    Measured: Baseline and after 3-year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes in prevalences of behavioral cardiovascular risk factors in intervention commune

    Changes in prevalence of behavioral cardiovascular risk factors after 3-years intervention compared to baseline

    Measured: Baseline and after 3-year

  2. Changes in average blood pressure in the population in intervention commune

    Changes in average systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the studied population after 3-year intervention

    Measured: Baseline and after 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Commune Hypertension Management in people with Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk Factor, run by Vietnam National Heart Institute at 1 site in Vietnam.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Vietnam. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Proportion of people with high blood pressure receiving treatment and being controlled in intervention commune (time frame: Baseline and after 3-year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Mar 2012.
