Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to estimate the role of Parents' Health-Education Handbook in preventing pediatric urolithiasis. This study is designed as an unmatched clusters randomized intervention trial. A total of 171 villages and communities in Shufu Count in Kashgar Region of China are assigned to intervention group or control group by a simple random sampling technique with a rate of 1:1. Newborns and their parents are assigned to intervention group or control group as their villages or communities. And at least 2314 newborns are needed in this study. Participants include newborns and their parents. The baseline of newborns includes demographic data, blood cell analysis, urinary tract ultrasonographic examination. Newborns' parents will be asked to answer a questionnaire which regarding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP questionnaire, estimated by scores) related to pediatric stone. Parents in intervention group will undergo and active health education by the investigator with " Parents' Health-Education Handbook", while parents in control group are without the program. Newborns are invited to undergo blood cell analysis, urine analysis and urinary tract ultrasonographic examination separately when they are one, two and three years old. Their parents will be asked to answer the same KAP questionnaire at the same time. The incidence of urolithiasis is evaluated and compared between the two groups. Improvement of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP questionnaire) related to pediatric stone of parents are evaluated. Association between urolithiasis incidence and improvement of scores in KAP questionnaire are evaluated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pediatric urolithiasis is a very common disease among Uyghur children of China. Investigators have conducted a cross-sectional survey among children≤14 years in Kashgar Region, which is Uyghur concentrated region and lies in southern Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region July to December 2016. The results showed that the current prevalence rate of urolithiasis was 1.8% among children ≤14 years, while the overall prevalence was 3.6%. The prevalence of urolithiasis for children ≤1 year was 5.63%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that non-breastfeeding, urinary tract infection, with a family history of urolithiasis and excessive sweating were all statistical significantly associated with increased risk of urinary stone.

Since most of the risks of urolithiasis among Uyghur children are associated with feeding and living habits, investigators create a Parents' Health-Education Handbook based on these results. This Handbook includes the knowledge of symptoms, hazards, epidemiology, risk factors, therapy, and prevention of pediatric urolithiasis, and also baby's right feeding methods. Investigators use this Handbook to teach newborn's parents to enhance their knowledge of pediatric stone, with a view to change parents' cognition, attitude and behavior of preventing stone formation.

This study is designed as an unmatched clusters randomized intervention trial. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of Parents' Health-Education Handbook in preventing pediatric urolithiasis formation. It is conducted in Shufu Count in Kashgar Region of China, which include 171 villages and communities. Investigators define each village or community as a cluster. And these villages and communities are assigned to intervention group or control group by a simple random sampling technique with a rate of 1:1. A total of 86 villages and communities are assigned to intervention group, while 85 villages and communities are assigned to control group. Participants include newborns and their parents. The newborns and their parents are assigned to intervention group or control group as their villages or communities.

The incidence (same as prevalence) of urolithiasis was 5.63% for children ≤1 year by our former study. The intervention (Parents' Health Education) is considered effective when the incidence decreases more than one half (2.8%) for children when they are 1-year old in this study. So for sample size, we estimate the normal incidence of urolithiasis (π0) is about 5.6% , the incidence will decrease to less than 2.8%(π1) after one year intervention, with α of 0.05, 1-β=90%, 1052 newborns are required by the formula for each group; considered a predicted of 10% missed follow-up late, and at least 2314 newborns needed in this study.

Study Groups

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

Intervention group

Participants include newborns and their parents. The baseline of newborns includes demographic data, blood cell analysis, urinary tract ultrasonographic examination. Parents will be asked to answer a questionnaire which regarding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP questionnaire) related to pediatric stone. Parents also undergo and active health education by the investigator with the " Parents' Health-Education Handbook", and Handbook will be given to them. Handbook includes the knowledge of symptoms, hazards, epidemiology, risk factors, therapy, and prevention of pediatric urolithiasis, and also baby's right feeding methods. Follow up is made every year in the first three years, and the program is done as the baseline.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Parents'Health-Education Handbook

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

We created a Parents' Health-Education Handbook to teach the newborns' parents to enhance their knowledge of pediatric stone, with a view to changing parents' cognition, attitude and behavior for preventing pediatric stone formation by this cluster randomized control trail.

Control group

Participants include newborns and their parents. The baseline of newborns includes demographic data, blood cell analysis, urinary tract ultrasonographic examination. Newborns' parents will be asked to answer a questionnaire which regarding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP questionnaire) related to pediatric stone. But parents do not undergo active health education. And Handbook will not be given to them. However, a poster which has the same content as the Handbook is normally displayed in the maternity ward. Parents have the opportunity to see the poster, but without any special remind. Follow up is made every year in the first three years, and the program is done as the baseline.
