Lung Transplantation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Patient Education After Lung Transplantation Via Tablet Computers Versus Conventional Education - a Randomized Open Controlled Trial
Experimental intervention:
Patient education after lung transplantation via Tablet computers. An electronic patient
questionnaire via tablet computer will be collected in addition.
Control intervention:
Conventional Patient education by health care professionals. A paper-based patient
questionnaire will be provided.
Noncompliance with immunosuppressive medications after organ transplantation is thought to
be a leading cause of allograft rejection, graft loss, and death. Immunosuppressant medy to
prevent graft rejection after lung transplantation.
Reported non-compliance rates with calcineurin inhibitors are ranging between 13 and 22 %
after lung transplantation. Incidence of non-compliance increases over time after
transplantation. Increased health care costs, decreased quality of life, and organ failure
(incl. the need for re-do transplantation) are possible consequences of immunosuppressant
noncompliance. Therefore, medication compliance defined as the extent to which a patient's
medication taking behaviour coincides with the prescribed regimen, is a critical issue in
transplantation. Repeated patient education is one option to overcome non-adherence and
immunosuppressive medication non-compliance.
Immunosuppressive therapy is monitored by measurement of drug levels. Fluctuating drug
levels increase the risk for rejection and drug toxicities. In addition, frequent dose
adjustments, case management and frequent monitoring of drug levels are cost-intensive.
