Trial Outcomes & Findings for Indiana University Dementia Screening Trial (NCT NCT01699503)

NCT ID: NCT01699503

Last Updated: 2019-01-23

Results Overview

The primary outcome measure will be the HRQOL measured at baseline, 1, 6 and 12 months among the entire 4,000 enrollees. The study will use the 15-item Health Utility Index (HUI) to determine the subject's HRQOL. The HUI is a generic, utility-based HRQOL instrument applied in patients with a wide range of medical conditions. It has eight attributes: Vision, hearing, speech, ambulation, dexterity, emotion, cognition and pain. The individual health domain scores range from 0.00 (maximum impairment) to 1.00 (no impairment) and the multi-attribute (HUI index) scores, a multiplicative function of individual attribute levels, range from 0.36 to 1.00 with anchors 0.00 = dead and 1.00 = perfect health.

Measure
Screening Group
Subjects who are randomized into the screening arm of the study will be screened by the Memory Impairment Screen (MIS). Subjects with MIS score of less than 5 points will be referred to the Collaborative Dementia Care Program for a subsequent diagnostic assessment, counseling and management. Collaborative Dementia Care Program: Much of the intervention, facilitated by care coordinator, is targeted to co-manage or support the practice behavior of primary care clinicians, enhance self-management skills of both the care-recipient and the informal caregiver, and maximize the coping behavior of the patient and the informal caregiver.
No Screening
Subjects who are randomized into the non-screening arm will receive the usual standard of care.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 month, 6 months, 12 months

Population: The number analyzed for each row excludes those participants who died, withdrew, were lost to follow-up, or were excluded due to quality at each time point in the study.

The study will use the 15-item Health Utility Index (HUI) to determine the subject's HRQOL.

The PHQ-9 is a nine-item depression scale with a total score from 0 to 27. It has a good internal consistency and test-retest reliability; as well as convergent, construct, criterion, procedural and factorial validity for the diagnosis of major depression. A higher score is associated with more severe depression.

The GAD-7 is a seven-item anxiety scale with a total score from 0 to 21. It has a good internal consistency and test-retest reliability; as well as convergent, construct, criterion, procedural and factorial validity for the diagnosis of general anxiety disorder. A higher score is associated with more severe anxiety.

The study team will obtain consent at enrollment from all subjects for permission to review their medical records. The Indiana Network for Patient Care (a fully operational Health Information Exchange) will also be used to identify any episode of ambulatory or acute care that occurred within the following 12 months of enrollment date.
