Detailed Description

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an increasingly common complication of acute hospitalizations. Hospital-related AKI, commonly caused by hemodynamic changes or contrast exposure, carries a threat of adverse outcomes that persists following hospital discharge, with an independent and graded association with long-term mortality. It is estimated that, approximately 13% of individuals with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) will develop some degree of AKI during their hospitalization. Survivors of AKI consume significantly greater health resources than the general population, and suffer exceedingly poor renal outcomes, including persistent loss of kidney function, progression to end stage renal disease (ESRD), and increased risk of recurrent AKI. It is estimated that 25% of individuals with an AKI-related hospitalization will be readmitted with recurrent AKI within 12 months of discharge, highlighting a critical need to address ongoing AKI risk once the acute hospitalization is complete. Patient-centered educational interventions that intensify awareness of potentially hazardous situations may reduce AKI recurrence. For example, commonly prescribed therapies such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors may threaten the renal safety of individuals at high risk of recurrent AKI if taken when significantly volume deplete, such as during an acute gastroenteritis, and in most cases should be held until one can eat and drink normally; Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) may exacerbate AKI risk if taken in combination with diuretics or ACE inhibitors even when volume replete and should be completely avoided. Tailored educational curricula surrounding these and other topics pertinent to AKI survivors may reduce recurrent hospitalizations and lower healthcare costs. In the absence of a patient centered outpatient approach to AKI education, the development of effective and sustainable AKI prevention strategies remains unlikely.

Our long-term goal is to develop patient-centered educational materials to reduce AKI recurrence. We hypothesize that a tailored educational curriculum will improve patient awareness of potential hazards and reduce AKI recurrence among hospital-based AKI survivors. Therefore, our overall objective for this proposal is to pilot test and evaluate the feasibility of a patient-centered mobile health (mHealth) educational curriculum for hospitalized AKI survivors at Duke Medical Center.

Aim 1: To test the feasibility and acceptance of a mHealth patient safety curriculum in hospitalized AKI survivors.

Hypothesis 1: Patient safety risk awareness at 1 month will be higher in the educational intervention arm than the usual care arm.

Aim 2: To determine if a mHealth educational curriculum improves patient safety behaviors in AKI survivors.

Hypothesis 2: High-risk safety behaviors will be reduced at 1 month in AKI survivors receiving the educational intervention, but not in the usual care arm.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
No Intervention: Standard Care
  • Complete a survey asking about kidney function and participant demographics.
  • Receive a one-month follow-up call (one month after hospital discharge date) and complete a phone survey about patient kidney function after discharge
Experimental: mHealth Tool
  • Complete a survey asking about kidney function and participant demographics.
  • Review a 15-20 minute educational tool on a tablet about kidney health
  • Receive a one-month follow-up call (one month after hospital discharge date) and complete a phone survey about patient kidney function after discharge
Other: mHealth tool
The curriculum in the mHealth tool was derived in consultation with patient safety, informatics and adult educational curricula experts, and is comprised of clinical vignettes describing the post-hospital discharge stories of two hypothetical AKI survivors. opics of emphasis included NSAID risk awareness and avoidance of volume depletion when ill ("Sick Day Protocol").

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
