Clinical Trial Summary

Introduction: Previous studies confirm that teledermatology allows the generation of a quick response from the specialist's consultation, reduction of unnecessary travels, early diagnosis and priority in the attention to the most urgent cases. Despite these advantages and that teledermatology has experienced exponential growth since its introduction approximately 16 years ago in Spain, in Andalusia, its use is still very limited. The objective of this project will be to carry out an analysis of the quality of life related to health, costs, cost-utility and informal care of teledermatology services in Primary Care compared to conventional monitoring carried out at the Hospital de Poniente. Methodology: A randomized, controlled, unmasked, inter-level clinical trial (Primary Care-Hospital de Poniente) and multicentre (all health centers attached to the Poniente Health District of Almería) will be carried out with a 6-month follow-up. Patients will be assigned to the teledermatology group (experimental) or the conventional monitoring group in the hospital (control). The patients included in the experimental group will be monitored asynchronously. Baseline characteristics, number of visits to the hospital, health-related quality of life, costs, informal care and satisfaction from the perspective of the Andalusian Public Health System and patients and their caregivers will be analyzed. The generic EuroQol-5D questionnaire (EQ-5D) will be administered to assess health-related quality of life and the SKINDEX-29 quality of life dermatological questionnaire. A cost-utility analysis will be performed to assess whether tele-dermatology is cost-effective in terms of additional cost for additional quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).
