Trial summary

Introduction. The increasing use of telephone medical advice requires the development of telemedicine tools to assess the patient's severity. Respiratory rate (RR) is a simple vital parameter and is often associated with morbidity and mortality of patients. There is no standardized measure of RR by telephone. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation de la précision d'Une Mesure téléphonique de la fréquence Respiratoire à l'Aide d'Une Application Mobile - The OPERA Study (On the PhonE Respiratory rAte)

Introduction. The increasing use of telephone medical advice requires the development of telemedicine tools to assess the patient's severity. Respiratory rate (RR) is a simple vital parameter and is often associated with morbidity and mortality of patients. There is no standardized measure of RR by telephone.

Objective: The investigators wanted to evaluate the RR measurement by phone using a smartphone application called RRate.

Methods. Adults who have been admitted for less than 6 hours to the emergency department after calling Center 15 and whose main reason for consultation is dyspnea will be included. Patients with non-invasive or tracheotomized ventilation will be excluded. The main objective will be to compare by Bland-Altman method the accuracy of the RRate measurement by phone to a one-minute RR measurement at patient's bedside. Secondary endpoints will evaluate the length of RR measurement according to the different methods used; measurement failure criteria; the accuracy of different measurement techniques (RRate at patient's bedside, impedancemetry, traditional measurement during 15s or 30s).

Expected Results. The accuracy of the RR measurement by RRate over the telephone should be within the limits of agreement. The measurement time should be shorter with the RRate application than with traditional methods. However, the measurement by telephone should not always be feasible in patients with mild dyspnea or with poorly audible breathing.

  • RRate Mobile appDevice

    Test respiratory rate with RRate application

What is being measured

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

  1. RRate app on the phone precision

    To compare withBland-Altman analysis the accuracy of the RRate measurement by phone to a one-minute respiratory rate measurement at patient's bedside

    Measured: 1 minute

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Efficiency

    length of RR measurement according to the different methods used

    Measured: 1 minute

  2. Measurement failure criteria by different Rrate methods (by phone, next to the patient and the reference method)

    Wether coughing, talking during measurement, phone hold by another person, has an impact on measurement possibility. The gap between the measurement by different RRate methods (by phone, next to the patient and the reference method)

    Measured: 1 minute

  3. Accuracy

    Bland Altman analysis : between one minute measurement at patient's bedside and other measurements : RRate app at patient's bedside, impedancemetry, traditional measurement during 15 seconds or 30 seconds

    Measured: 1 minute

  4. Clinical impact

    qSOFA (sequential Organ Failure Assesment score) obtained with different measurement of the RRate at 60 second

    Measured: 1 minute

  5. Reproducibility

    Coefficient of variation and Intra-class correlation, of respiratory rate measured twice with : RRate app on the phone, RRate app at patient's bedside, 15 seconds measurement.

    Measured: 1 minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Rate, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2021. 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 France. 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?

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?

RRate app on the phone precision (time frame: 1 minute). 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 16 Mar 2021.
