Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Culturally-Based Palliative Care Tele-consult Program for Rural Southern Elders (NCT NCT03767517)
NCT ID: NCT03767517
Last Updated: 2025-05-23
Results Overview
Change from baseline in patient-reported symptom burden measured using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) at baseline; change from baseline measured using the ESAS at 7 days post-baseline. Each item is scored using: 0-10 (0= no pain; 10= worst possible pain), yielding a total score between 0 and 90. A higher value represents the worse possible outcome. Higher score indicates higher symptom burden.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: baseline and 7 days post-baseline and 30 days post-baselineChange from baseline in patient-reported symptom burden measured using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) at baseline; change from baseline measured using the ESAS at 7 days post-baseline. Each item is scored using: 0-10 (0= no pain; 10= worst possible pain), yielding a total score between 0 and 90. A higher value represents the worse possible outcome. Higher score indicates higher symptom burden.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: baseline and 7 days post-baseline and 30 days post baselinePopulation: The participants number analyzed in one or more rows differ from the overall number analyzed due to participants choosing not to answer certain questions from baseline to day 30.
Change from baseline measured using FAMCARE-2 at 7 days post-baseline. Each item was scored on a Likert scale of VS (very satisfied), S (satisfied), U (undecided), D (dissatisfied), VD (very dissatisfied), or NA (not applicable), which was then dichotomized into very satisfied/satisfied and undecided/dissatisfied/very dissatisfied. The mean percentages in these dichotomized categories was calculated along with the standard error of the mean. A repeated measures generalized linear mixed model was used to calculate the estimated marginal means (least squares means) and associated standard errors at each time point for the intervention and usual care groups. The higher mean percentage of the population that responded very satisfied/ satisfied equals a better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: baseline and 7 days post-baselinePopulation: The number of patients changed because of not completing the study.
Change from baseline in patient-reported quality of life using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health-10 (PROMIS Global Health-10) at baseline; change from baseline measured using the PROMIS Health-10 at 7 days post-baseline. Items 1-6 are scored using: 1-5 (1=poor; 5=excellent). Item 7 is scored using 1-5 (1= not at all; 5= completely). Item 8 is scored using 1-5 (1= always; 5=never). Item 9 is scored using 1-5 (1=very severe; 5=none). Item 10 is scored using 0-10 (0=no pain; 10=worst pain imaginable).Items were summed , then scaled to T-scores (which would have a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 in the general adult population) using published procedures from Health Measures, with higher scores representing better health. As the PROMIS Global Health is scaled relative to the referent general population, there are no minimum and maximum values published.

Timeframe: Baseline and 7 days post-BaselinePopulation: The number analyzed in one or more rows differ from the overall number analyzed because some of the participants failed to answer questions during data collection.
Change from baseline in caregiver-reported burden using the Montgomery Borgatta Caregiver Burden Scale (MBCB) at baseline; change from baseline measured using the MBCB at 7 days post-baseline. This scale contains a total of 14 questions and 5 Likert scale responses (a lot less, a little less, the same, a little more, or a lot more). Caregiver burden will be quantified by three subscales; objective, subjective and demand burdens. Objective burden is measured by 6 questions (total score between 0-30), subjective burden is measured by 4 questions (total score between 4-20), and demand burden is measured by 4 questions (total score between 4-20).

Timeframe: Baseline and 7 days post-BaselinePopulation: Nine of the participants dropped out of the study by Day 7.
Change from baseline in patient-reported satisfaction with care using the Feeling Heard and Understood questionnaire at baseline; change from baseline using the Feeling Heard and Understood questionnaire at 7 days post-baseline. Likert scale using: completely, quite a bit, moderately, slightly, not at all. Which was then dichotomized into completely/quite-a-bit and moderately/slightly/not at all. The mean percentage of participants in these dichotomized categories were calculated along with the standard error of the mean. The higher mean percentage of the population that responded completely/ quite a bit equals a better outcome.

Timeframe: Day 7Patient symptom burden measured by Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale \[ESAS\] mediated and/or moderated by hospitalist/clinician implementation of palliative care recommendations. Implementation of palliative care recommendations are measured using Electronic Health Record \[eHR\] documentation of recommendations by hospitalist/clinician at Day 7. Each item in the ESAS is scored using: 0-10 (0= no pain; 10= worst possible pain), yielding a total score between 0 and 90.

Caregiver burden measured by Montgomery Borgatta Caregiver Burden Scale \[MBCB\] mediated and/or moderated by hospitalist/clinician implementation of palliative care recommendations. Implementation of palliative care recommendations are measured using Electronic Health Record \[eHR\] documentation of recommendations by hospitalist/clinician at Day 7. This scale contains a total of 14 questions and 5 Likert scale responses (a lot less, a little less, the same, a little more, or a lot more) with higher scores indicating greater burden. Caregiver burden will be quantified by three subscales; objective, subjective and demand burdens. Objective burden is measured by 6 questions (total score between 0-30), subjective burden is measured by 4 questions (total score between 4-20), and demand burden is measured by 4 questions (total score between 4-20).
