The Transmural Trauma Care Model (TTCM) is a refined post-clinical rehabilitation approach, in which a multidisciplinary hospital-based team guides a network of primary care physical therapists in the treatment of trauma patients. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the TTCM compared to regular care.
A controlled-before-and-after study was performed in a level 1 trauma center. The TTCM includes four elements: 1) a multidisciplinary team at the outpatient clinic, 2) coordination and individual goal setting for each patient by this team, 3) a network of primary care physical therapists, 4) E-health support for transmural communication. Intervention group patients were prospectively followed (3, 6 and 9 months). The control group consisted of 4 clusters of patients who either had their first consultation at the outpatient clinic 0, 3, 6 or 9 months ago. Outcomes included generic- and disease-specific health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), pain, functional status, patient satisfaction, and perceived recovery. Between-group comparisons were made using linear regression analyses. The recovery pattern of intervention group patients was identified using longitudinal data analysis methods.
A total of 83 participants were included in the intervention group. In the control group, 202 participants were included (68 in the baseline cluster, 26 in the 3-month cluster, 51 in the 6-month cluster, 57 in the 9-month cluster). Between-group differences were statistically significant in favor of the intervention group for disease-specific HR-QOL at 9 months, pain at 6 and 9 months, functional status at 6 and 9 months, patient satisfaction at 3, 6 and 9 months, and perceived recovery at 6 months. No significant differences were found between groups for generic HR-QOL at any time point. Generic HR-QOL, disease-specific HR-QOL, pain, and functional status significantly improved in a linear fashion among intervention group patients during the nine-month follow-up period.
This study provides preliminary evidence that the TTCM is effective in improving patient related outcome measures, such as disease-specific HR-QOL, pain and functional status. A multicenter, and ideally randomized controlled trial, is required to confirm these results.
The trial is registered at the Dutch Trial Register (NTR5474). Registered 12 October 2015. Retrospectively registered.
经壁创伤护理模式(TTCM)是一种精细化的临床后康复方法,多学科医院团队指导初级保健物理治疗师网络治疗创伤患者。本研究的目的是评估 TTCM 与常规护理相比的有效性。
在 1 级创伤中心进行了一项对照前后研究。TTCM 包括四个要素:1)门诊的多学科团队,2)该团队为每位患者进行协调和个体化目标设定,3)初级保健物理治疗师网络,4)经壁通信的电子健康支持。干预组患者前瞻性随访(3、6 和 9 个月)。对照组由 4 组患者组成,他们要么在门诊就诊 0、3、6 或 9 个月前首次就诊。结果包括通用和疾病特异性健康相关生活质量(HR-QOL)、疼痛、功能状态、患者满意度和感知恢复。使用线性回归分析进行组间比较。使用纵向数据分析方法确定干预组患者的恢复模式。
共纳入 83 名干预组患者。对照组纳入 202 名患者(基线组 68 例,3 个月组 26 例,6 个月组 51 例,9 个月组 57 例)。干预组在 9 个月时疾病特异性 HR-QOL、6 个月和 9 个月时疼痛、6 个月和 9 个月时功能状态、3 个月、6 个月和 9 个月时患者满意度以及 6 个月时感知恢复方面均优于对照组,差异有统计学意义。在任何时间点,两组间通用 HR-QOL 均无显著差异。在 9 个月的随访期间,干预组患者的通用 HR-QOL、疾病特异性 HR-QOL、疼痛和功能状态呈线性显著改善。需要多中心、理想的随机对照试验来证实这些结果。
