METHODOLOGY Prospective study of random clusters, defined at the primary-care trust (PCT) level. Total study follow-up 3 years. Sample size 1800 patients.

DESCRIPTION To launch a defined strategy for the identification of OF. To carry out a primary care based intervention about lifestyle, diet and drug prescription, if needed, with an intensive follow-up in the intervention PCT vs treatment as usual in the control branch.

ANALYSIS As the outcome are the new OF, a survival analysis will be done. Risk factors will be analyzed through Cox proportional hazard regression model stratified by age groups.

Outcomes :

  • new OF ratio in intervention vs control areas.
  • maintenance of the adherence to the pharmacological and non pharmacological interventions proposed
  • assessment of cost-effectivity of the intervention
