To determine if Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking (AC) was superior to Quit.ie in a randomised clinical trial (RCT).
Single centre, open RCT, general population based.
300 adult smokers, 18 years plus, minimum 5 cigarettes daily, and English speaking. AC, 151 (females 44.4%) and Quit.ie, 149 (females 45.6%), mean age 44 years. outcomes for all 300 were analysed (intention-to-treat). Recruited through advertisement from July 2015 to February 2016.
Randomly assigned to AC (n=151) and Quit.ie (n=149), matched for age, sex and education. Block randomisation, enrolment and follow-up at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Primary aim was to determine if AC had higher quit rates than Quit.ie service at 3 months. Secondary aims: quit rates at 1, 6 and 12 months and analysis of associated factors including weight. AC consisted of a 5-hour seminar, in a group setting. Quit.ie is an online portal for smoking cessation.
AC had higher quit rates at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. AC: 38%, (n=57), 27% (n=40), 23% (n=35), 22% (n=33) vs Quit.ie: 20% (n=30), 15% (n=22), 15% (n=23), 11% (n=17), respectively (all p values <0.05). Logistic regression AC vs Quit.ie, OR 2.26 (95% CI 1.22 to 4.21) p value=0.01. Weight gain 3.8 kg in AC vs 1.8 kg in Quit.ie (p value <0.05).
All AC quit rates were superior to Quit.ie, outcomes were comparable with established interventions.

在一项随机临床试验(RCT)中,确定艾伦·卡尔的《轻松戒烟法》(AC)是否优于 Quit.ie。
单中心、开放 RCT、基于一般人群。
300 名成年吸烟者,年龄在 18 岁以上,每天至少吸 5 支香烟,且会说英语。AC 组 151 人(女性 44.4%),Quit.ie 组 149 人(女性 45.6%),平均年龄为 44 岁。所有 300 人的结果均进行了分析(意向治疗)。通过 2015 年 7 月至 2016 年 2 月的广告招募。
随机分配到 AC(n=151)和 Quit.ie(n=149),年龄、性别和教育程度相匹配。采用区组随机化,在 1、3、6 和 12 个月进行登记和随访。主要目的是确定 AC 在 3 个月时的戒烟率是否高于 Quit.ie 服务。次要目标:1、6 和 12 个月的戒烟率以及体重等相关因素的分析。AC 由一个 5 小时的小组研讨会组成。Quit.ie 是一个戒烟的在线门户。
AC 在 1、3、6 和 12 个月时的戒烟率更高。AC:38%(n=57)、27%(n=40)、23%(n=35)、22%(n=33)与 Quit.ie:20%(n=30)、15%(n=22)、15%(n=23)、11%(n=17)相比,所有 p 值均<0.05)。AC 与 Quit.ie 的逻辑回归,OR 2.26(95%CI 1.22-4.21),p 值=0.01。AC 体重增加 3.8 公斤,而 Quit.ie 体重增加 1.8 公斤(p 值<0.05)。
所有 AC 的戒烟率均优于 Quit.ie,结果与已确立的干预措施相当。
