Trial Outcomes & Findings for Coordinated Healthcare Interventions for Childhood Asthma Gaps in Outcomes (NCT NCT02319967)

NCT ID: NCT02319967

Last Updated: 2019-06-19

Results Overview

Raw scores (0-32) were converted to T-scores to measure change from index visit to 6-month primary endpoint. Low scores indicate better asthma; high scores indicate worse asthma. PROMIS Asthma Impact Scale, Pediatric: Min possible T-score: 31.5; Max possible T-score: 76.2 Possible range for change in T-score is \[-44.7 to 44.7\] PROMIS Asthma Impact Scale, Parent proxy: Min possible T-score: 32; Max possible T-score: 80 Possible range for change in T-score is \[-48 to 48\] The reported value represents a change in T-score from baseline to 6 months after index ED discharge. A negative change in score indicates improvement in asthma. A positive change in score indicates worsening of asthma. A score of 0 indicates no change.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months after index ED discharge

Population: The number of participants analyzed refers to the number of participants with evaluable data at baseline and 6 months after index ED discharge. The number of participants included in the analysis may not match the total number of participants enrolled as we were unable to obtain outcome data from some participants.

Raw scores (0-32) were converted to T-scores to measure change from index visit to 6-month primary endpoint. Low scores indicate better asthma; high scores indicate worse asthma. PROMIS Asthma Impact Scale, Pediatric: Min possible T-score: 31.5; Max possible T-score: 76.2 Possible range for change in T-score is \[-44.7 to 44.7\] PROMIS Asthma Impact Scale, Parent proxy: Min possible T-score: 32; Max possible T-score: 80 Possible range for change in T-score is \[-48 to 48\] The reported value represents a change in T-score from baseline to 6 months after index ED discharge. A negative change in score indicates improvement in asthma. A positive change in score indicates worsening of asthma. A score of 0 indicates no change.

The overall score is the mean score across all 13 items. Each item is scored on a 7-point Likert scale with 1 indicating severe impairment and 7 indicating no impairment. Higher scores indicate better quality of life; lower scores indicate worse quality of life. Pediatric Asthma Caregiver's Quality of Life Questionnaire (PACQLQ): Min possible score: 1; Max possible score: 7 Possible range for change in score is \[-6 to 6\] The reported value represents a change in overall score from baseline to 6 months after index ED discharge.
