Overview

Although pharmacologic and mechanical methods to prevent VTE are safe, effective, cost-effective, and advocated by authoritative guidelines,many studies continue to demonstrate that these preventive methods are significantly underutilized, especially in China.A number of quality improvements (QI) program have been established in several countries or hospitals.However,no exit effective protocol has been demonstrated well enough or adequate to drive breakthrough levels of improvement. A reliable and practical QI that can support hospitals or physicians in China is warranted.To evaluate the multifaceted quality improvement intervention effect in clinical setting, we will conduct a cluster-randomized clinical trial among China PUlmonary Thromboembolism REgistry Study (CURES) group, aiming to test whether it's applicable to real-world practice in China.

A multicenter, two-arms, open-label clinical trial has been designed to determine whether the system-wide multifaceted intervention could increase the rate of at-risk participants who received prophylaxis (RP) and decrease the incidence of any hospital-associated VTE in 90 days during and after hospital admission. .Selected hospital will be regarded as a cluster and randomized into interventional or control group.In interventional group, eligible hospitalized patients will receive a variety of the multifaceted quality improvement(QI) interventions since admitted in hospital.In control group, patients will receive no more than common recommended care or an existing policy.The primary outcomes are the proportion of appropriate prophylaxis in hospitalized patients and the incidence of HA-VTE in 90 days after hospital admission.

Description

Hospitals nationwide which have willingness to participate this study in CURES group will be selected. Each selected hospital will be regarded as a cluster and randomized into interventional or control group.

During the study period, eligible patients enrolled in hospitals assigned to interventional group will receive a variety of the multifaceted quality improvement(QI) interventions, including mandatory risk assessment, a computer alert(computer-based clinical decision support system and computerized reminders), strengthened education, and audit. Patients in hospitals assigned to control group will receive common recommended care only, or an existing policy.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
