About this study
Official title: Alignment of Treatment Preferences and Repair Type for Veterans With AAA
This study tests the use of a decision aid for Veterans who are facing a decision about surgery for their Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). The local site investigators (LSI) will enroll Veterans with AAA who are candidates for endovascular or open surgical repair. There are 22-24 VA Medical Centers participating in the trial. 12 sites will be randomly assigned to the intervention group, and 12 sites will be randomly assigned to the control group. Twelve Veterans will be enrolled at each site. At sites assigned to the intervention arm, Veterans will receive a decision aid with information about the two types of surgery for AAA repair, open and endovascular, and complete a survey about their preferences. Veterans at control sites will complete the same survey, but will not receive the decision aid. After their surgery, Veterans will take another survey asking about their satisfaction. The LSI will compare the results of the survey between Veterans' in the intervention and control groups to determine the effect of the decision aid on agreement between preference and repair type.
Read the detailed description
This is a cluster randomized trial comparing two ways to better align Veterans' preferences and treatments for AAA: (1) a validated decision aid describing AAA repair types with a survey measuring Veterans' preference for repair type -- versus (2) the survey alone. Enrolled Veterans will be candidates for either endovascular or open repair, and be followed at VA hospitals by vascular surgery teams who regularly perform both types of repair. In Aim 1, the investigators will determine Veterans' preferences for endovascular or open repair and identify domains associated with each repair type. In Aim 2, the investigators will compare agreement between Veterans' preferences and repair type between the decision aid+survey and survey-alone groups. In Aim 3, the investigators will investigate the facilitators and barriers of implementing a decision aid in a VA surgical clinic. The investigators will identify factors associated with agreement. The investigators' findings will be reported to the National Surgery Office Vascular Surgery Advisory Board to help ensure Veterans' preferences remain at the center of AAA treatment decisions. The investigators have recruited 20 VA Medical Centers and their vascular surgery teams to participate in this trial.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Decision aidOther
Decision aid for repair type for aortic abdominal aneurysms
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| decision aid | Experimental | the experimental group will receive the decision aid Receives: Other: Decision aid |
| control | No intervention | the control group will only receive the survey |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Veteran Preference for Repair Type
The investigators' survey will measure the effect of the decision aid on Veterans preference for repair type for abdominal aortic aneurysms and domains associated with preference for each repair type (endovascular or open)
Measured: 30 days
Agreement Between Veterans Preferences for Repair Type and Actual Repair Type
The investigators' survey instruments will assess the effect of the decision aid on the agreement between Veteran's preference for repair type and actual repair type they receive
Measured: 30 days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Decision Regret Scale
The investigators will use the patient satisfaction questionnaire short form 18 to assess patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction will be reported based on the average Decision Process Score for both decision and control groups, with a score of 5 representing the highest level of satisfaction and a score of 0 representing the lowest level of satisfaction.
Measured: 30 days

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study tests the use of a decision aid for Veterans who are facing a decision about surgery for their Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). The local site investigators (LSI) will enroll Veterans with AAA who are candidates for endovascular or open surgical repair. There are 22-24 VA Medical Centers participating in the trial. 12 sites will be randomly assigned to the intervention group, and 12 sites will be randomly assigned to the control group. Twelve Veterans will be enrolled at each site. At sites assigned to the intervention arm, Veterans will receive a decision aid with information about the two types of surgery for AAA repair, open and endovascular, and complete a survey about their preferences. Veterans at control sites will complete the same survey, but will not receive the decision aid. After their surgery, Veterans will take another survey asking about their satisfaction. The LSI will compare the results of the survey between Veterans' in the intervention and control groups to determine the effect of the decision aid on agreement between preference and repair type.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Decision aid in people with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, run by VA Office of Research and Development at 22 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 22 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Sep 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Veteran Preference for Repair Type (time frame: 30 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03115346, which also lists 33 linked publications.
