Five-year follow-up of a cluster-randomized controlled trial of a client-centred activities of daily living intervention for people with stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective:

To compare five-year outcomes and changes over time of a client-centred activities of daily living (ADL) intervention versus usual ADL interventions for people with stroke and their significant others.

Design:

Five-year follow-up of a cluster-randomized controlled trial where a client-centred ADL intervention ( n = 129) or usual ADL interventions ( n = 151) were delivered to people with stroke.

Setting:

Multicentre study including 16 inpatient or home-based rehabilitation units.

Participants:

People with stroke and significant others.

Intervention:

The client-centred ADL intervention aimed at enabling agency in daily activities and participation in everyday life and at reducing caregiver burden.

Main measures:

For people with stroke, perceived participation (Stroke Impact Scale), independence in ADL, life satisfaction, and use of formal/informal care were measured. For significant others, caregiver burden, life satisfaction, and mood (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) were assessed.

Results:

Five years post-intervention, data were collected from 145 people with stroke (intervention group: n = 71/control group: n = 74) and 75 significant others (intervention group: n = 36/control group: n = 39). For those with stroke, the Participation domain of the Stroke Impact Scale showed no group differences at year five (68.9 vs 75.4, P = 0.062) or in changes over time. At year five, the control group had better outcomes regarding Other help/supervision. Significant others in the control group were more likely to show signs of depression at year five (odds ratio = 22.3; P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

The client-centred ADL intervention appears to render similar long-term effects as usual ADL interventions for people with stroke, but for significant others signs of depression might be reduced.

Project description:PURPOSE: To assess longitudinal changes in parapapillary atrophy in the adult population of Greater Beijing. METHODS: The population-based Beijing Eye Study 2006 included 3251 subjects who had participated in the Beijing Eye Study 2001 and returned for re-examination. The mean age was 60.4 ± 10.1 years. Using optic disc photographs, we measured parapapillary atrophy which was divided into alpha zone and beta zone. RESULTS: Overall progression rate of alpha zone was seen in 0.6 ± 0.1% (95% confidence interval (CI):0.3,0.9) of the subjects and of beta zone in 8.2 ± 0.5% (95%CI:7.2,9.1) of the subjects. In binary regression analysis, rate of progression of alpha zone was significantly associated higher age (P = 0.04) and the co-progression of zone Beta (P<0.001). Rate of progression of beta zone was significantly associated with higher age (P<0.001; odds ratio (OR):1.11;95%CI:1.10,1.14), higher intraocular pressure (P<0.001;OR:1.10;95%CI:1.05,1.14), higher myopic refractive error (P<0.001;OR:0.71; 95%CI:0.67,0.75), rural region of habitation (P = 0.002;OR: 0.58; 95%CI:0.41,0.82), presence of glaucomatous optic nerve damage (P<0.001;OR:2.89; 95%CI:1.62,5.14), co-progression of alpha zone (P<0.001;OR:7.13;95%CI:2.43,20.9), absence of arterial hypertension (P = 0.03;OR: 0.70; 95%CI:0.51,0.96), and thicker central corneal thickness (P = 0.02;OR:1.01;95%CI:1.00,1.01). Subjects with a non-glaucomatous optic nerve damage (n = 22) as compared to the remaining subjects did not vary in the progression rate of alpha zone (0.0% versus 0.6 ± 0.1%; P = 1.0) and beta zone (8.2 ± 0.5% versus 6.3 ± 0.6%;P = 1.0). CONCLUSIONS: In adult Chinese in Greater Beijing, the 5-year progression rate of beta zone of parapapillary atrophy (seen in 8.2 ± 0.5% of subjects) was significantly correlated with higher age, rural region of habitation, absence of arterial hypertension, higher intraocular pressure, higher myopic refractive error, thicker central corneal thickness, and presence of glaucoma. It was not associated with non-glaucomatous optic nerve damage.

Project description:BackgroundAdherence to healthy behaviors initiated or adapted during cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remains a significant challenge, with few patients meeting guideline standards for secondary prevention. The use of mobile health (mHealth) interventions has been proposed as a potential solution to improve adherence to healthy behaviors after CR. In particular, app-based interventions have shown promise due to their ability to provide monitoring and feedback anytime and anywhere. Growing evidence supports the use of apps in post-CR settings to enhance adherence. In 2020, we demonstrated that individualized follow-up via an app increased adherence to healthy behaviors 1 year after CR. However, it remains uncertain whether these effects persist once the follow-up is discontinued.ObjectiveThis study aims to evaluate the long-term effects of individualized follow-up using an app, assessed 4 years after the intervention.MethodsA single-blinded multicenter randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients were recruited from 2 CR centers in eastern Norway. The intervention group (IG) received individualized follow-up through an app for 1 year, while the control group (CG) received usual care. After the 1-year follow-up, the app-based follow-up was discontinued for the IG, and both groups were encouraged to maintain or improve their healthy behaviors based on their individual risk profiles. The primary outcome was the difference in peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). The secondary outcomes included exercise performance, body weight, blood pressure, lipid profile, exercise habits, health-related quality of life, health status, cardiac events, and physical activity. Linear mixed models for repeated measurements were used to analyze differences between groups. All tests were 2-sided, and P values ≤0.05 were considered statistically significant.ResultsAt the 5-year follow-up, 101 out of the initial 113 randomized participants were reassessed. Intention-to-treat analyses, using a mixed model for repeated measurements, revealed a statistically significant difference (P=.04) in exercise habits in favor of the IG, with a mean difference of 0.67 (95% CI 0.04-1.29) exercise sessions per week. Statistically significant differences were also observed in triglycerides (mean difference 0.40, 95% CI 0.00-0.79 mmol/l, P=.048) and walking (P=.03), but these were in favor of the CG. No differences were found between the groups for other evaluated outcomes.ConclusionsMost of the benefits derived from the app-based follow-up diminished by 4 years after the intervention. Although the IG reported statistically significantly higher levels of exercise, this did not translate into improved VO2peak or exercise performance. Our study highlights the need for follow-up from health care providers to enhance adherence to healthy behaviors in the long term following CR.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT03174106; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03174106 (original study protocol) and NCT05697120; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05697120 (updated study protocol).

Project description:In 2009, Mekele, the capital of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia, presented a mean prevalence of 44.7% of schistosomiasis (S. mansoni) in school children. Termed a public health problem, NALA, an international public health non-governmental organization, and their partners implemented a novel model of intervention, which aimed to compliment mass drug administration (MDA) campaigns with behavioral change (BC) and improved sanitation to achieve sustained elimination of schistosomiasis. The four-year intervention (2009-2012) covered 38 primary schools. The objective of this study was to examine factors associated with control or resurgence of the disease, and the association between the behavioral change program and disease prevalence, ten years after initiation. Eleven primary schools were selected for this follow-up study. All students provided a stool sample and filled in a knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) questionnaire. In seven out of eleven schools (63.6%) the prevalence of schistosomiasis was maintained below 2% ten years after the initiation of the intervention. In four schools, prevalence returned to pre-intervention levels, defining them as persistent hot spots (PHS). Students from PHS schools scored lower on KAP questionnaires compared to students from responder schools; 3.9 ± 0.9 vs. 4.2 ± 0.9 (p-value < 0.001) for practice questions and 4.4 ± 1.4 vs. 4.6 ± 1.5 (p-value = 0.03) for attitude questions. The prevalence of schistosomiasis correlated positively with age, (p-value = 0.049), sex (relative risk = 1.7, p-value < 0.001), and location. Semi-urban locations (n = 382) had higher disease prevalence than urban locations (n = 242), (22.7% vs. 5.5%, p-value < 0.001). Students residing in semi-urban areas and close to a river (<500 m) were at higher risk of contracting schistosomiasis than those living in urban areas far from the river (RR = 5.95, p-value < 0.001). Finally, a correlation between prevalence and proximity of schools to rivers was found (semi-urban areas; RR = -0.91, p-value = 0.001 vs. urban areas; RR = -0.51, p-value = 0.001). Soil-transmitted-helminths prevalence in 2009 was 8.1% and declined during the intervention years to 0.5%. Prevalence in 2018 was found to be stable at 0.8%. These results demonstrate the long-term success of NALAs' comprehensive model of intervention for elimination of schistosomiasis in school children, combining behavioral change and improved sanitation with MDA.
