About this study

Official title: Telemedicine in Qualifying Care Transition Between Tertiary and Primary Health Care Among Stable Coronary Artery Disease Patients: a Randomized Non-inferiority Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the telemedicine use in primary health care is effective in the accompaniment of stable coronary artery disease patients who were discharged from the tertiary health care clinics.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized non-inferiority trial for patients with chronic coronary artery disease from a tertiary hospital with outpatient discharge criteria. The purpose is to compare the use of telemedicine in the quality of care transition between tertiary care and primary care patients (intervention group), with patients who remain in the outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital (control group).

What participants receive

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

  • TelemedicineOther

    Also called Primary care with the support of telemedicine

    Outpatient discharge from tertiary care to primary care with a letter of referral explaining about the study containing phone number from telemedicine and a letter with the patient's history in the hospital. Two months after discharge, the telemedicine's cardiologist initiates contact with the primary care's physician about patient follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants that stay in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Functional Classification of Angina I and II as a measure of safety

    Not evolve into a higher class than the measure before the intervention

    Measured: within one year after discharge

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of participants with instability of the disease

    the need to seek emergency care for cardiovascular disease post intervention.

    Measured: within one year after discharge

  2. blood pressure control

    verified to maintain systemic blood pressure from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements

    Measured: within one year after discharge

  3. dyslipidemia control

    verified to maintain dyslipidemia control through laboratory examination, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements of Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) in blood

    Measured: within one year after discharge

  4. diabetes control

    verified to maintain diabetes control through laboratory examination, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements of fasting glucose in the blood

    Measured: within one year after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Telemedicine in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre at 1 site in Brazil.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2015. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Carisi A Polanczyk, PhD (+55 51 33596359, carisi.anne@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants that stay in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Functional Classification of Angina I and II as a measure of safety (time frame: within one year after discharge). 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 NCT02489565, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
