About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of CONTECI Program: Pilot Study

The current increase in chronic diseases calls for changes to the health system. It is necessary to promote expert patient in chronic disease. The expansion of new technologies gives us new tools to face new challenges, providing efficiency, expertise and autonomy. The characteristics of peripheral arterial disease make possible to promote expert patient and the self-management. In order to bring these concepts together the telemedicine program was created to promote expert patient for increasing the quality of life and satisfaction of patients and improving the efficiency of the health system.

Methods: Randomized clinical trial on patients with peripheral arterial disease in intermittent claudication grade. They were randomized into two groups: intervention arm (IA) using CONTECI program for self-managing and control arm (CA), followed as usual vascular visits.

Being tested
Selfmanage with the help of telemedicine program
Medical subject headings
Peripheral Arterial Disease, Personal Satisfaction

What participants receive

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

  • Selfmanage with the help of telemedicine programOther

    The intervention group patients were not followed by the usual protocol, but it used the program CONTECI (and test different directions) to guide the patient monitoring.

    Both groups used antiplatelets and statines as usual protocol (these were not the interventions) We did not use drugs or device for the intervention, only a Telemedicine programme

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1- Telemedicine armExperimentalThe intervention arm (IA), telehealth control, were followed up by himself helped by CONTECI program. They have to use every three months and if somethings was wrong the patient have to send mail to the doctor. The intervention consisted to use the CONTECI program (included test) for the following of the patients.
Receives: Other: Selfmanage with the help of telemedicine program
2- Control armNo interventionThe Control Arm (CA) were followed up as usual every 6 months in outpatient vascular visits in the clinical hospital. If some patient have a complications or and emergency they have to do usual protocol, go to primary care or emergency.

What is being measured

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

  1. satisfaction. Analogical scale 0-100. To compare the satisfaction in the new model control and the model before

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical features. Pateint who turned to grade 3 or 4 of Le Fontaine classification, number of surgeries.

    PAD grade 3 and 4, surgeries

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  2. Health resources consumption: rate of Emergency visits, scheduled visits, extra visits, Mail per participant

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  3. Quality of life. EuroQol5D were used. Change from baseline Quality of line at 12 months.

    Measured: 12 months

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?

satisfaction. Analogical scale 0-100. To compare the satisfaction in the new model control and the model before (time frame: 12 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?
