About this study

Official title: Implementation of Ankle Brachial Index Measurements and Wound, Ischemia, and Foot Infection Testing in Rural Health Clinics

The objective of this project is to assess the fidelity and sustainability of in improving provider performance with Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) assessment and ulcer staging with the would ischemia foot infection (WIfI) tool for new patients with lower extremity ulcers due to peripheral artery disease (PAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) at RHCs in the telemedicine network through a rural provider education program that is aligned with preexisting continuing medical education activities.

What participants receive

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

  • ABI/WIFI scoringBehavioural

    The initial ABI training workshop will be coordinated by the non-physician clinic staff champion, and all non-provider clinic staff will be asked to participate. The PI and a research assistant will conduct a 1.5-hour telemedicine training session instructing clinical staff in ABI measurement and WIfI and scoring, using the clinical scoring sheet. Following didactic teaching, participants will perform ABI tests under the guidance of the PI/research assistant and with the support of other participants. During each part of the workshop, specific attention will be directed to pitfalls and technical errors of the test. A pre-post assessment will be used to ensure comprehension of key concepts and performance of the ABI and WIfI tools.

What is being measured

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

  1. ABI/WIFI adoption

    This outcome is a binary (yes/no) outcome of whether a clinic is performing ABI and WIfI testing 6 months after the original training and implementation assistance

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. ABI/WIFI adaption and fidelity

    This outcome is a qualitative outcome. The outcome is based on the use a modified Program Assessment Fidelity Tool developed by Cummins. This tool tracks programmatic and evaluative changes over time. The tool asks respondents to determine the What, How, To Whom, Where, and Who program changes occur with definitions for each category. The tool classifies changes by cause.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. ABI/WIFI sustainability

    To assess sustainability, we will collect the number of patients seen with lower extremity ulcers over a one-year period and the number of patients with ABI measurement performed. We will review charts for the number of patients with WIfI classification documentation at the clinical encounter.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ABI/WIFI scoring in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Diabetic Foot, run by University of California, Davis at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

ABI/WIFI adoption (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Apr 2023.
