Brief Summary

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

This research project aims to test if systematic (extensive) use of patient-reported outcomes across treatment boundaries can

1. improve patients' and health professionals' understanding of individual patients' conditions and health changes,
2. improve indications for treatment,
3. strengthen patient empowerment, and
4. reduce patients' utilization of health services.

The study will be performed in the particular context of patients with chronic degenerative conditions of the shoulder. These patients are characterized by contact with numerous health professionals from different health sectors, such as general practitioner, physiotherapists and surgical referral centres, which challenges coherence and communication for the individual treatment decisions. The research project will be performed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a 1-year inclusion period and two years of follow-up.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients evaluated and treated for a degenerative shoulder disorder will be randomised into two groups before first evaluation. For the intervention group, Patient reported outcomes (PRO) will be a part of the evaluation and follow-up of treatment. In the control group, it will not. Evaluation with PRO will be conducted every 3 months for 2 years follow-up.
Primary Study Purpose

HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
It is not possible to perform any blinding during collection and use of PRO data as part of the evaluation and treatment of the shoulder condition. However, following the end of PRO collection (and use), the following data collection and evaluation of the use of healthcare services and satisfaction with the treatment given will be performed with information of randomization blinded to the evaluators (VIVE).

Study Groups

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

Intervention

All patients will be asked to complete a number of questionaires: EQ5D-5L, a study specific questionaire (designed specifically for this study) and a shoulder-disease-specific questionaire (the Oxford Shoulder Score). For patients in the intervention group, the results of the questionaires will be accessable for patient and health-care professionals and will be used to illustrate the problems, make a prognostic model for the specific patient based on previous PRO results from other patients and will be used in monitoring the treatment of the patient.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Control

All patients will be asked to complete a number of questionaires: EQ5D-5L, a study specific questionaire and a shoulder-disease-specific questionaire. For patients int he control group, this will be collected, but not accessed or used during the treatment of the patient. The data will be used in the final analyses of the study.
