About this study

Official title: Integrating Depression Care in Acute Coronary Syndromes Patients in Low Resource Hospitals in China

The overall goal of this study is to develop, pilot test, implement, and evaluate a nurse-coordinated depression care model integrated into the care of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) patients with rigorous assessment of feasibility, effectiveness, acceptability and cost in rural China. This study is a large multi-center, randomized clinical trial among 4,000 ACS patients from 20 rural county hospitals selected from a well-established research network across China.

What participants receive

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

  • Integrated careOther

    an integrated care model for ACS and depression delivered by a collaborative team composed of cardiologists/internists and nurses in the same rural county hospital. The collaborative team will be able to provide medical services for the diagnosis and treatment at acute phase of ACS during hospitalization, ACS secondary prevention therapies at and after discharge, and screening and treatment of depression depressive symptom during hospitalization and after discharge. The core of the interventions includes: depressidepressive symptomon screening and classification, individual counseling and medical treatment of depression, group counseling and health education, and follow-up for ACS and depression treatments compliance, IT- system- assisting theassisted management and necessary referral.

Study groups in NCT02195193
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Usual Care (UC)No interventionThe standard interventions from Clinical Pathway for Acute Coronary Syndromes in China-Phase 3 (CPACS-3) study that are limited to in-patient ACS care (refer to "Usual Care" [UC]), will be implemented in the participating hospitals, and hence will be received by all patients in both intervention (IC) and control (UC) groups; standardized cardiovascular disease education also will be provided to all participants.CPACS-3 registration number is NCT01398228
Intervention Care (IC)ExperimentalBesides of the UC, an nurse-coordinated integrated care model for Acute Coronary Syndromes(ACS) and depression will be delivered to intervention group, including ACS secondary prevention therapies at and after discharge, screening and treatment of depression during hospitalization and after discharge.
Receives: Other: Integrated care

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in mean Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score from baseline to 6 months

    Changes in mean Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score from baseline to 6 months

    Measured: Before patient discharge and after 6 months from discharge

  2. Changes in mean PHQ-9 score from baseline to 12 months

    Changes in mean Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score from baseline to 12 months

    Measured: Before patient discharge and after 12 months from discharge

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)

    MACE includes all cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and re-hospitalization due to cardiovascular disease.

    Measured: At least 12 months after discharge

  2. Proportion of patients with self-reported adherence to evidence-based Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) secondary prevention treatment at 6 and 12 months

    ACS secondary prevention treatment means combination use of aspirin, clopidogrel, statin, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors/ Angiotensin Receptor Blocker and/or beta-blocker.

    Measured: At 6 and 12 months after discharge

  3. Quality of life (EQ5D) at 6 and 12 months after discharge

    Measured: At 6 and 12 months after discharge

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?

Changes in mean Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score from baseline to 6 months (time frame: Before patient discharge and after 6 months from discharge). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02195193, 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?
