About this study

Official title: Retraining Via Operation Inspection or Verbal Education vs Usual Care on the Prevention of Peritonitis in Peritoneal Dialysis

To examine whether retraining via operation inspection or verbal education can reduce the risk for peritonitis in PD patients.

Read the detailed description

The design is prospective, randomized, controlled study. At baseline (during the first month), they will receive a standard training program on performing bag exchange and education on the prevention of peritonitis.

Then the participants will be randomized into three groups: retraining via operation inspection (G1), retraining via verbal education (G2) and usual care (G3). Retraining will be performed every 2 months in G1 and G2 group.

During the following 2 years or a longer period, all the participants will be followed up frequently with outcome events recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • operation inspectionBehavioural

    Retraining via operation inspection means that nurses check if patients can follow the taught skill during the procedure of bag exchange and correct wrong steps in one-to-one way every 2 months.

    Retraining via verbal education means that nurses remind patients of key points of bag exchange through interactive quiz derived from above checklist every 2 months till 24 months

Study groups in NCT01621997
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
operation inspectionExperimentalDuring retraining the patients performed bag exchange under the supervision of a nurse. The nurse ensured that each error listed in the NAC form should be avoided, thus immediately corrected any wrong steps if only.
Receives: Behavioral: operation inspection
verbal educationExperimentalPatients in the oral education group also underwent retraining every 2 months. A nurse would address all items in the NAC form one by one, to remind the patient of the key points of bag exchange. Scores calculated by the sum of error items during the bag exchange for patients in technique inspection group, or by the sum of "yes" in the interactive quiz for patients in verbal education group.
Receives: Behavioral: operation inspection
usual careExperimentalPatients in the usual care group did not receive any retraining
Receives: Behavioral: operation inspection

What is being measured

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

  1. first-episode peritonitis

    Infection rates were calculated as the number of infections divided by the total time at risk, and expressed as episodes per 100 patient-years at risk.

    Measured: 48 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. first-episode enteric peritonitis,first-episode non-enteric peritonitis

    Enteric organisms included enterococcus and enterobacter.

    Measured: 48 moths

  2. transition transition to haemodialysis, and all-cause death.

    transition to haemodialysis, and all-cause death.

    Measured: 48 moths

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing operation inspection in people with Peritonitis, run by Peking University First Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 28 Aug 2020. 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 China. 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?

first-episode peritonitis (time frame: 48 months). 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 NCT01621997, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2020.
