About this study

Official title: Comparative Effectiveness of Decision Support Strategies for Joint Replacement Surgery: A Factorial Randomized Trial

This study is a 2X2 factorial randomized trial that will the examine the comparative effectiveness of two patient decision aids for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) as well as the impact of a surgeon-focused intervention.

Read the detailed description

This study is a 2X2 factorial randomized trial that will examine the comparative effectiveness of different decision support strategies for patients making treatment decisions about hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA). Eligible patient subjects will be randomly assigned to receive one of two decision aids before their upcoming clinic visit with a participating orthopedic specialist. Participating providers are randomly assigned to either usual care or an intervention (a report that includes patients' goals and treatment preferences). Patient participants will complete three surveys at different time points: before their orthopedic visit, one week after the clinic visit, and 12 months later. Providers will complete a short survey for a subset of patient participants. The study is titled the DECIDE-OA study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patients Knowledge

    Knowledge sub-score generated from responses to the Hip or Knee Decision Quality Instrument (DQI). Scores range from 0-100%, with higher score meaning higher knowledge.

    Measured: before orthopedic visit

  2. Percentage of Patients Who Received Preferred Treatment

    Patient preferred treatment item from the Hip or Knee Decision Quality Instrument will be compared with the treatment received to determine percentage of patients who received treatment that matched their preferences.

    Measured: 1 week after visit with orthopedic surgeon

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Used the Decision Aid

    1 item asking patients how much they reviewed the program (none, some, most, all). The percentage who report viewing most or all will be calculated.

    Measured: before orthopedic visit

  2. Change in Quality of Life

    Overall quality of life (EQ-5D) scores will be calculated and the impact of decision support strategies on change in quality of life will be examined. Scale ranges from -0.11 to 1.00, with higher (positive) values meaning better overall health. The minimum important change is 0.10 points.

    Measured: before orthopedic visit; 12 months from date of orthopedic visit

  3. Surgical Rates

    Medical chart review and patient report of whether or not surgery was used in the 6 months after the visit.

    Measured: 6 months after the initial visit

Individual data sharing
Yes: A complete, cleaned, de-identified copy of the final data set that includes survey data for the primary and secondary outcomes from patient participants has been created. The PI will share a de-identified data set with outside investigators at no cost, according to approved Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) policies for data sharing. Investigators from other sites are able to request the data and will be required to complete a data use agreement that ensures that all local Institutional Review Board requirements are met before using the data, that they will not attempt to identify any data in the dataset, and that they will not share the data set with anyone outside their project team, etc.
