This study evaluates the effectiveness of different methods to recruit patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) into a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
630 participants were recruited into a multicenter RCT using electronic medical record (EMR) bulk messaging, in-person study discussion with a clinician, or a hybrid method combining the above approaches.
Bulk EMR messaging alone had the highest recruitment and response rates, required the least amount of time to implement, and incurred the lowest cost as compared to the in-person and hybrid recruitment methods.
Digital health technology can enhance the recruitment of patients with IBD into randomized controlled trials.
本研究评估了将炎症性肠病(IBD)患者纳入随机对照试验(RCT)的不同方法的有效性。
630名参与者通过电子病历(EMR)批量消息推送、与临床医生进行面对面的研究讨论或结合上述方法的混合方法被纳入一项多中心随机对照试验。
与面对面和混合招募方法相比,仅EMR批量消息推送的招募率和回复率最高,实施所需时间最少,成本也最低。
数字健康技术可以提高将IBD患者纳入随机对照试验的招募率。
