Trial Outcomes & Findings for PREDICT: A PBRN Feasibility Study on COVID-19 Screening in Dental Practice (NCT NCT05123742)

NCT ID: NCT05123742

Last Updated: 2023-10-05

Results Overview

Participants perception of safety in the dental office. Outcome measure is a score on a scale from 0 to 100 where 0=has unsafe as one can possibly feel and 100=as safe as one can possibly feel. All participants (DHCW and patients) were asked to indicate how safe they would feel seeking dental care if all dental office workers, but not patients, were regularly tested: how safe they would feel seeking care if all patients, but not dental care workers, were tested prior to their dental appointments; and how safe they would feel seeking dental care if all dental workers were regularly tested AND all patients were tested prior to their dental appointments.

PRIMARY outcome

Population: Only participants who completed the protocol have been included in the analysis.

Participants perception of safety in the dental office. Outcome measure is a score on a scale from 0 to 100 where 0=has unsafe as one can possibly feel and 100=as safe as one can possibly feel. All participants (DHCW and patients) were asked to indicate how safe they would feel seeking dental care if all dental office workers, but not patients, were regularly tested: how safe they would feel seeking care if all patients, but not dental care workers, were tested prior to their dental appointments; and how safe they would feel seeking dental care if all dental workers were regularly tested AND all patients were tested prior to their dental appointments.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: For DHCWs at Day 28 (+/- 13 days); For patients at the time of their dental visit (Day 1)

Population: Analysis population is limited to those participants who completed the protocol

Ranking of the type of specimen participants preferred. Outcome measure is a score on a scale from 1 to 6 where 1=the most preferred specimen type and 6 the least preferred specimen type. Scores could not be used twice providing a ranking of specimen preference.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: For DHCWs at Day 28 (+/- 14 days); For Patients at time of their dental visit (Day 1)

Population: Only participants who completed the protocol are included in this analysis.

COVID-19 testing method preferred by subjects. Outcomes measure is a score on a scale where testing protocols are ranking from 1 to 4 with 1 being the most preferred method and 4 is the least preferred method. Score could not be used twice with the scores indicating the subject's testing preference.
