Clinical Trial Summary

A multi-center, randomized controlled 2-arm trial comparing the effectiveness of an innovative shared decision-making pathway and usual care for Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Prevention


Description:

This study will test to see if a new type of decision-making process tool, called a Shared Decision Making Pathway, can make a difference in decreasing the risk of stroke due to a condition called Atrial Fibrillation (AFib.) This online tool is designed to help doctors and patients decide together on treatment options for AFib.

Study Design


Intervention

Behavioral:
SDMT
The intervention involves a clear pathway centered on the use of a web-based decision tool. This tool aims to support the shared decision-making process for anticoagulation for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. This web-based tool will be used both by the participants as well the physician responsible for atrial fibrillation decision making.
Usual Care
The participants will receive usual care.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Decisional Conflict Scale The Decisional Conflict Scale is a 16 Item scale on whether the participants have enough information to make a clear decision. Each item scored from 1-5, where 1 indicates clarity and 5 indicates confusion, with total score ranging from 16-80 Visit 2 (1-month follow-up)
Secondary Decisional Conflict Scale (16 items) The Decisional Conflict Scale is a 16 Item scale on whether the participants have enough information to make a clear decision. Each item scored from 1-5, where 1 indicates clarity and 5 indicates confusion, with total score ranging from 16-80 Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit), Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up)
Secondary Decision Regret Scale (5 items) Decision Regret Scale, is scored from 1-5, where 1 indicates they made the right decision and 5 indicates they made the wrong decision. This scale ranges from 5-25 Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit), Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up)
Secondary Weighted composite outcome scale according to patient preference Patient-selected weighted composite outcome scale is a composite scale to consider both decisional conflict and decisional regret scales simultaneously according to the priority based on the survey of 100 potential participants. The rationale for this endpoint is to consider not only the preference of majority patients (73%) but also the minority (27%) participants who prefer the decisional regret scale Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit), Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up)
Secondary Preparation for Decision Making Scale (10 items) Preparation for Decision Making scale assesses a patient's perception of how useful a decision aid or other decision support intervention is in preparing the respondent to communicate with their practitioner at a consultation focused on making a health decision Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit), Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up)
Secondary Utah-Stanford Atrial Fibrillation Knowledge Assessment Newly developed assessment for this study to record Atrial Fibrillation Knowledge Baseline, Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit), Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up)
Secondary Quality of Communication (Based on CAHPS Clinician & Group Survey) CAHPS 3-item modified version Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit)
Secondary Atrial Fibrillation Severity Scale (AFSS) The University of Toronto Atrial Fibrillation Severity Scale (AFSS) is a questionnaire designed for patients with AFib. It consists of 19 items combined into 3 parts to capture total AF burden, health care utilization, and the severity of AFib related symptoms Baseline, Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3(6-month follow-up)
Secondary Collaborative Agreement on Decision Assess the collaborative agreement (1. Patient Reported Outcome 2) Clinician Reported Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit)
Secondary Clinician Satisfaction of the Decision Aid: Physician Survey Clinician Satisfaction of the Decision Aid as assessed by a physician survey on shared decision making Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit)
Secondary Patient Satisfaction of the Decision Aid: Patient Survey Patient Satisfaction of the Decision Aid as assessed by Patient survey on shared decision making Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit)
Secondary Length of Visit at visit 1 (clinician) Compare treatment arm on the length of visit Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit)
Secondary Anticoagulant Choice (Patient follow up questions on Anticoagulant use) Decision on anticoagulation choice as assessed by patient follow up questions Visit 1 (Post Clinic Visit), Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up)
Secondary Anticoagulation Persistence and adherence (Patient follow up questions on Anticoagulant use) Persistence and adherence to anticoagulation among participants selecting anticoagulation, as assessed by Patient follow up questions Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up)
Secondary Stroke or TIA or Deep Venous Thrombosis or Pulmonary Embolus Incidence of Stroke or TIA or Deep Venous Thrombosis or Pulmonary Embolus Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up), Unscheduled
Secondary Death Incidence of Death Visit 2 (1-month follow up), Visit 3 (6-month follow-up), Unscheduled
