About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Pharmacist-led Educational Model in Patients With Allergic Rhinitis in a Malaysian Tertiary Hospital: A Randomised Control Trial Protocol (AR-PRISE RCT)

Allergic rhinitis is a chronic respiratory disorder affecting patients' quality of life and work performance. Pharmacists are identified as suitable professionals to deliver patient education and pharmaceutical care in managing allergic rhinitis (AR) patients. Local clinical practice guidelines in Malaysia are lacking, especially in pharmaceutical care in public healthcare institutions. This study protocol describes a randomised control trial (RCT) that aims to determine the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led educational model in managing AR (AR-PRISE Model) compared to standard pharmaceutical care. The AR-PRISE model delivers patient educational material (video) and an algorithm for pharmaceutical care.

Read the detailed description

This is a six-month, single-centre, prospective, randomised, two-arm, and parallel-group controlled trial. This trial recruits patients attending a tertiary hospital's otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinics. The participants are randomised into the control or intervention groups at 1:1 using permuted block randomisation. Each group required 77 participants. The control group will receive standard pharmaceutical care. The intervention group will receive pharmacist-led education according to the AR-PRISE model. Both groups will be assessed for the middle turbinate endoscopy findings, disease severity, knowledge level, symptom control, medication adherence, and quality of life (QoL) at baseline and end-of-study follow-up (Day 180±7). Depending on the feasibility at Day 60±7 and 120±7, they will be followed up virtually or face-to-face. During the intermediate follow-up, the participants will be assessed for symptom control, medication adherence, and QoL. The intention-to-treat analysis will include all participants assigned to each group. An Independent T-Test compares the mean difference in knowledge level between the two groups. A two-way repeated measure ANOVA analysis will be employed to determine between-group differences for scores of symptom control, adherence rate, and QoL. A one-way repeated measure ANOVA will be performed for within-group analysis. A P-value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.

What is being measured

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

Allergic rhinitis symptom control
Patients are free from any symptoms or reduction in the severity of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) tool will be used for patients to self-rate their nasal symptoms, including nasal obstruction, itching, sneezing, secretion, runny nose, and sleep difficulty, on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (no symptom) to 3 (severe symptom). The scores will be summed; a higher score indicates the more severe the symptoms are. The measurement of nasal symptoms will be conducted at baseline, on Day 60 ±7, Day 120 ±7, and Day 180 ±7.
The outcomes will be generated as a mean and standard deviation. A two-way repeated measure ANOVA analysis will be employed to determine the mean difference between the scores of the control group and the interventional group to determine the overall effectiveness of the intervention.
Measured: 180 days

Secondary outcomes (3)

Medication adherence to the allergic rhinitis treatment
It involved assessments of the patient's adherence to the intranasal corticosteroid treatment for allergic rhinitis.
Medication adherence is measured by using a self-developed diary card. Patients will be asked to record their medication adherence levels on their daily use of intranasal corticosteroids.
The measurement of adherence will be conducted on Day 60 ±7, Day 120 ±7, and Day 180 ±7.
The estimation of the number of days that the patients declare that they are taking the medication will be summed for each measurement. A mean number of days of intranasal corticosteroid usage will be generated.
A two-way repeated measure ANOVA analysis will be used to compare the between-group differences for the mean number of days of intranasal corticosteroid usage. A one-way repeated measure ANOVA analysis will be performed to determine within the group analysis. A value of P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
Measured: 180 days
Improvement in quality of life of the allergic rhinitis patients
The 5-level EQ-5D version (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire to assess the quality of life. It comprises a descriptive system and the EQ VAS (Visual Analogue Scale).
The descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions, each with 5 response levels: no difficulties, slight, moderate, severe, and extreme problems. The outcome will be presented in a mean score and standard deviation in EQ-5D-5L utility index scores using the EQ-5D-5L index calculator for Malaysia.
The EQ VAS captures the patients' total present health on a vertical visual analogue scale labelled "The best health you can imagine" (Max score: 100) and "The worst health you can imagine." (Min score: 0). EQ-5D VAS will be generated in a mean score and standard deviation.
EQ-5D-5L will be measured at baseline, on Day 60 ±7, Day 120 ±7, and Day 180 ±7.
A two-way repeated measure ANOVA analysis will be employed to determine the mean difference between the scores of the control and interventional groups.
Measured: 180 days
Patients' knowledge of allergic rhinitis
Assessment of the patient's understanding of the symptoms and treatment of allergic rhinitis
A self-administered questionnaire evaluating the knowledge on patients' understanding of intranasal corticosteroids. It consists of four items, and patients are required to answer each item by marking the responses as "yes", "no", or "unsure".
The "yes" answer will be given a score of two; the "no" answer will be given a zero score, and the "not sure" will be given a score of one.
The patients' knowledge will be assessed during the baseline data collection and on Day 180 ±7.
The outcome will be presented in the mean score and standard deviation. Each question will be analysed separately. Between-group comparisons will be analysed using a T-test to compare the mean score difference between the two groups. Meanwhile, within-group comparisons will be analysed using the Paired T-test. A value of P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
Measured: 180 days
