Trial Outcomes & Findings for Accu-Chek® CONNECT at School (CATS) Pediatric Study (NCT NCT02609633)

NCT ID: NCT02609633

Last Updated: 2018-05-18

Results Overview

The PAID Questionnaire encompassed 26 items. Score for each question ranges from 1-2 = "Not a Problem" to 5-6 = "Big Problem" (Child version) or 1-2 = "Not a Problem" to 5-6 = "Serious Problem" (Teen or Parent versions). The derived total score (26 questions) ranges between 26 and 156, where higher score indicates worsened condition.

Participant Flow

Families of participants were identified and recruited from the investigators' established participant populations or from the participant populations of other physicians within the group practice, using protocol-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Although a total of 196 parents and children/adolescents were enrolled, only the 98 children/adolescents were considered participants in the study. Baseline and adverse events data were only collected for children/adolescents.

Participants preference the Accu-Chek® CONNECT process compared with previous technology/process assessed by questionnaire including following questions; Q 1: Felt more sure of myself using the system, Q 2: Less worried about low BG than used to be, Q 3: Would rather use the system than what used before, Q 4: Felt safer managing diabetes using system than what used before, Q 5: Friends with diabetes should also use the system. Questionnaire was answered by children/adolescents and parents. Here, in children/adolescents post questionnaire for preference the percentage sum is not equal to 100%, because percentage is based on n=41.
