Implementation of self-management support in traditional primary care settings has proved difficult, encouraging the development of alternative models which actively link to community resources. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common condition usually diagnosed in the presence of other co-morbidities. This trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of an intervention to provide information and telephone-guided access to community support versus usual care for patients with stage 3 CKD.
In a pragmatic, two-arm, patient level randomised controlled trial 436 patients with a diagnosis of stage 3 CKD were recruited from 24 general practices in Greater Manchester. Patients were randomised to intervention (215) or usual care (221). Primary outcome measures were health related quality of life (EQ-5D health questionnaire), blood pressure control, and positive and active engagement in life (heiQ) at 6 months. At 6 months, mean health related quality of life was significantly higher for the intervention group (adjusted mean difference = 0.05; 95% CI = 0.01, 0.08) and blood pressure was controlled for a significantly greater proportion of patients in the intervention group (adjusted odds-ratio = 1.85; 95% CI = 1.25, 2.72). Patients did not differ significantly in positive and active engagement in life. The intervention group reported a reduction in costs compared with control.
An intervention to provide tailored information and telephone-guided access to community resources was associated with modest but significant improvements in health related quality of life and better maintenance of blood pressure control for patients with stage 3 CKD compared with usual care. However, further research is required to identify the mechanisms of action of the intervention.

在传统基层医疗环境中实施自我管理支持已被证明困难重重,这促使了与社区资源积极联动的替代模式的发展。慢性肾脏病(CKD)是一种常见疾病,通常在存在其他合并症的情况下被诊断出来。本试验旨在确定一项干预措施的有效性,该干预措施为3期CKD患者提供信息并通过电话引导其获得社区支持,与常规护理进行对比。
在一项务实的双臂、患者层面的随机对照试验中,从大曼彻斯特的24家全科诊所招募了436名诊断为3期CKD的患者。患者被随机分为干预组(215人)或常规护理组(221人)。主要结局指标为6个月时的健康相关生活质量(EQ - 5D健康问卷)、血压控制以及积极参与生活(heiQ)情况。在6个月时,干预组的平均健康相关生活质量显著更高(调整后平均差异 = 0.05;95%置信区间 = 0.01,0.08),且干预组中血压得到控制的患者比例显著更高(调整后比值比 = 1.85;95%置信区间 = 1.25,2.72)。患者在积极参与生活方面没有显著差异。与对照组相比,干预组报告成本有所降低。
与常规护理相比,一项提供量身定制信息并通过电话引导获取社区资源的干预措施,使3期CKD患者的健康相关生活质量有适度但显著的改善,且血压控制维持得更好。然而,需要进一步研究以确定该干预措施的作用机制。
