What is being measured

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

  1. Number of hospital visits

    Interest of a procedure of telemedicine on the organization of the treatment pathway of patients affected by rare skin diseases in terms of change of the number of visit in hospital.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Improvement of the treatment pathway and its organization

    Traceability in the information system by composite criteria : number of completed application forms, number of meeting per month, number of meeting a month, number of patients treated a month, time dedicated to the logistical coordination (collection by sheets of weekly time) and number of new patients per month.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Satisfaction of the patient

    questionnaire of satisfaction Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF36)

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Change of the cost related to the patient care (direct and indirect).

    Composite criteria with number of consultations and hospitalizations, number of visit in hospital and number of days of work and school absenteeism.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. management of time by the medical personal.

    collection by sheets of weekly time

    Measured: 6 months

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Number of hospital visits (time frame: 6 months). 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 20 Nov 2018.
