Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The SAMBA study aims to assess the safety and cost comparison of the management of outpatient alcohol detoxification, between an advanced nurse protocol on the one hand (experimental group), and a GP-based treatment on the other hand (standard-of-care group).

In the advanced nurse (AN) group, nurses manage alcohol detox using a predefined protocol based on both the Cushman and CIWA-Ar scales. Depending on the Cushman and CIWA-Ar scores, which are calculated at every consultation, advanced nurse can adjust the diazepam dosing. In case of any serious adverse event or uncontrolled withdrawal complication, an addiction specialist stands in back-up and can be appealed to decide whether the outpatient detox can be continued or whether the patient has to be hospitalized. In the GP group, GPs can manage patients as they wish.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Advanced Nurse (AN)

The outpatient detoxication procedure will be entirely managed by an advanced nurse team, using a predefined protocol decision algorithm. The protocol allows that the AN team autonomously manages the diazepam dosing during the detox period. Addiction physicians only intervenes in case of severe withdrawal symptoms or serious adverse events.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Advanced Nurse (AN)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Protocoled AN-based management of detox

General Practitioner (GP)

The outpatient detoxication procedure is entrusted to a GP who will manage patients and diazepam dosing as he/she thinks best ("as usual" control group)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

General Practitioner (GP)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

'As usual' medical management of detox
