Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based tailored eHealth self-management intervention for patients with chronic kidney disease in China, and test the impact on implementation and effectiveness of interventions.

Description:

Interventions that support disease self-management (further referred to as 'self-management interventions') can have a significant impact on the health and quality of life of patients suffering from chronic conditions in general and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in specific. In the last decade, the use of electronic health (eHealth) technology in self-management interventions has become more and more popular. EHealth-based self-management interventions have been shown to improve health-related outcomes, such as blood pressure (BP) control and medication adherence, and found to be feasible and acceptable for CKD patients and care professionals. Hence, the use of eHealth self-management interventions for CKD patients has become increasingly popular. Knowledge of the implementation and effectivity of such interventions in China and other developing countries is, however, still lacking. Researchers from the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) developed 'Medical Dashboard', an eHealth intervention to help support and involve CKD patients in their disease self-management. We aim to tailor the evidence-based Dutch intervention 'Medical Dashboard' to the Chinese context and evaluate its implementation process and effectiveness.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Medical Dashboard based self-management intervention

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change of chronic kidney disease self-management behavior using Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Management (CKD-SM) instrument from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	The Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Management (CKD-SM) instrument with 29 items uses a four-point likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 4 (always) to measure subjects' self-management behavior. Possible scores range from 29 to 116 points, with higher scores indicating better self-management behavior	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomisation, 6 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of blood pressure from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	Change of blood pressure will be measured from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization. The blood pressure will be measured in mmHg with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomisation, 6 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of body weight from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	Change of body weight will be measured from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization. The body weight will be measured in kilograms	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomization, 6 months after randomization, 9 months after randomization (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of glomerular filtration rate from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	Glomerular filtration rate is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. Change of glomerular filtration rate will be measured from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization. The glomerular filtration rate will be measured in mL/min per 1.73 m2	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomisation, 6 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of serum albumin from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	Change of serum albumin will be measured from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization. The serum albumin will be measured in g/L	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomisation, 6 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of serum creatinine from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	Change of serum creatinine will be measured from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization. The serum creatinine will be measured in µmol/L	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomisation, 6 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of number of complications patients have from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	Change of number of complications patients have will be measured from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomisation, 6 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of chronic kidney disease self-efficacy using Chronic Kidney Disease Self-efficacy (CKD-SE) scale from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months after randomization	The Chronic Kidney Disease Self-efficacy (CKD-SE) scale is a 25-item self-administered scale that measures subjects' confidence. Responses range from no confidence (0) to the highest degree of confidence (10). Possible scores range from 0 to 250 points, with higher scores indicating greater levels of confidence	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomisation, 6 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of chronic kidney disease illness perception using Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) from baseline to 9 months after randomization	The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) is a nine-item scale designed to rapidly assess the cognitive and emotional representations of illness. This scale consists of eight items related to illness perception. In addition, patients are asked to identify the three most important factors that they believe have caused their illness. All of the items except the causal question are rated using a 0 to 10 response scale. Higher scores indicate stronger perceptions along that dimension. The scores of items 3, 4, and 7 are calculated and expressed as reverse scores in this scale. Possible scores range from 0 to 80 points, with higher scores indicating a more threatening view of the illness	0 month (baseline), 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of chronic kidney disease anxiety and depression status using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) from baseline to 3, and 9 months after randomization	Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is used to determine the levels of anxiety and depression that a person is experiencing. It is a fourteen item scale that generates ordinal data. Seven items measure symptoms of anxiety and seven items measure symptoms of depression . Each item is coded from 0 to 3. Possible scores range from 0 to 21 points for sub-scale on anxiety or depression, with higher scores indicating greater levels of burden of anxiety or depression	0 month (baseline), 3 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)

Secondary	Change of healthcare utilisation from 3 months after randomisation to 9 months after randomisation	The change of healthcare utilisation will be measured by using the number of hospitalisations and emergency room visits, primary and secondary care visits of patients	3 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	Change of cost-benefit data from 3 months after randomisation to 9 months after randomisation	The cost-benefit analysis will be measured by using medical cost (e.g., cost of treatment, hospitalization rates minored as monetary terms), all costs delivering the interventions (e.g., materials used in the interventions)	3 months after randomisation, 9 months after randomisation (endpoint)
Secondary	The proportion of chronic kidney disease patients and care professionals reached by the implementation of interventions	The proportion of chronic kidney disease patients and care professionals eligible to use our intervention program, excluded, invited, and enrolled in the intervention	Throughout the 9-month trial
