Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Houston HIITBAC for African Americans (NCT NCT02253433)

NCT ID: NCT02253433

Last Updated: 2018-11-14

Results Overview

Self report. The ACT is a validated 5-question scale assessing asthma control over the previous four weeks. Each question has five possible responses, from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The total score ranges from 5 (worst control) to 25 (best control). In general, a total score of 19 or less suggests poor control.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline (enrollment) and exit (approximately 12 mo after enrollment)

Population: At baseline, one individual in each group chose not to answer all five ACT questions; therefore a total ACT score could not be calculated for those two individuals (missing data are addressed in the analyses). At exit, among those who completed the study, one person in the enhanced in-clinic group chose not to answer all five ACT questions.

Self report. The ACT is a validated 5-question scale assessing asthma control over the previous four weeks. Each question has five possible responses, from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The total score ranges from 5 (worst control) to 25 (best control). In general, a total score of 19 or less suggests poor control.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline (enrollment) and exit (approximately 12 mo after enrollment)

Population: Among the enhanced in-clinic care group, one person withdrew immediately after consent and two individuals chose not to fill out all of the answers, such that a score could not be computer. At exit, 3 control and 1 intervention were missing (1) or incomplete (3).

Self report. A validated 15-item questionnaire, with each question having seven possible answers score from 1 (worst) to 7 (best). Minimum total score is 15 (worst asthma quality of life). Maximum total score is 105 (best asthma quality of life). By design, an individual's score is reported as the mean (total score/15). Thus the possible mean reported score ranges from 1 (worst asthma quality of life) to 7 (best asthma quality of life).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline (enrollment) and exit (approximately 12 mo after enrollment)

Population: One patient from the enhanced in-clinic only group withdrew immediately after consenting.114 "control" and 79 "intervention" completed the study. Respondent number less than enrollment and/or exit numbers reflects individuals who chose not to respond to the question.

Self report. The healthcare utilization questions were from the validated CDC-BRFSS Asthma Survey. For this outcome measure, we used patient responses to a question that asked "During the past 12 months, how many times to you visit an emergency room of urgent care center because of your asthma?". We collected this information for the 12 months preceding their baseline and exit clinic visits. A higher number of visits suggests poorer asthma control.
