About this study

Official title: Improving In-hospital Stroke Service Utilisation (MISSION) in China: A Cluster Randomised Trial of Interventions to Shorten Door to Needle Times

A cluster randomised controlled trial will be conducted, using hospital as randomisation unit. Hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China, will be randomised into two arms (1:1): an intervention arm and a control arm. Hospitals in the intervention arm will receive a multi-components intervention based on the Behaviour Change Wheel model, whereas hospitals in the control arm will receive no intervention and maintain existing care. The randomisation will be conducted after one-year baseline data collection. The following baseline data will be used for randomisation match: hospital classification, beds in stroke centre, thrombolysis patient number, and percentage of patients receiving thrombolysis within 60 minutes of stroke onset. Hospitals with no stroke centre or with <20 cases received thrombolysis per year will be excluded from the study. The primary outcome will be difference between intervention arm and control arm in the percentage of patients receiving thrombolysis within 60 minutes of stroke onset on the follow-up stage (post-intervention).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Behaviour Change Wheel model guided interventionBehavioural

    Interventions are developed on a psychological model, the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) .The fundamental of BCW consists of three essential elements: capability, motivation, and opportunity. Improving individual's capability, providing motivation, and increasing opportunities are goals of behaviour change intervention. To achieve the goals, 9 intervention components have been proposed in the BCW framework, and 6 components will be used in current study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in the percentage of patients who Door-to-Needle Time≤60min

    Difference between intervention arm and control arm in the percentage of patients receiving thrombolysis within 60 minutes of stroke onset on the follow-up stage

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Door-to-needle time

    The time between hospital arrival and the initiation of IVT

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  2. Onset-to-needle time

    The time between the symptom onset and the initiation of IVT

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  3. modified Rankin Scale score at discharge

    modified Rankin Scale score at discharge, on which scores range from 0 (no neurologic deficit) to 6 (death)

    Measured: Up to 3 month

  4. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage

    Intracranial hemorrhage at 24 hours associated with an increase of ≥4 points of NIHSS score from baseline, according to European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study (ECASS) II trial

    Measured: At 24 hours

  5. Favorable neurological outcomes

    Score of 0 to 1 on the modified Rankin Scale, on which scores range from 0 (no neurologic deficit) to 6 (death)

    Measured: At 90 days

  6. Death

    Death at discharge

    Measured: Up to 3 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Behaviour Change Wheel model guided intervention in people with Thrombolytic Therapy and Acute Stroke, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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.

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?

Difference in the percentage of patients who Door-to-Needle Time≤60min (time frame: Up to 24 hours). 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 NCT03317639, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
