Intervention of Diet Registration Method for Rehabilitation Patients

November 2, 2022 updated by: Jens Rikardt Andersen, University of Copenhagen

Audit and Intervention of Diet Registration Method for Rehabilitation Patients at Hobro Hospital

Study aims to investigate whether dietary registration can be performed with greater precision using digital registration units (mobile devices), rather than conventional paper based dietary registers.

Study intervention is based in the M3 rehabilitation unit, as part of Hobro hospital. The intervention will proceed until 6 full-day dietary registrations have been collected per patient (40 patients total), 3 for each registration method. The estimated time requirement is 30 days.

Detailed Description

Study aims to investigate whether dietary registration can be performed with greater precision using digital registration units (mobile devices), rather than conventional paper based dietary registers.

These mobile devices have been equipped with a dietary registration app, developed by the company Movesca ApS, specializing in digital healthcare solutions.

Nurses, and other relevant staff members at the M3 rehabilitation unit at Hobro hospital, will be testing this alternative registration method, as they engage in their day-to-day dietary registration for in-house patients. The data collection requires 6 full-day dietary registrations from each individual patient (40 patients in total). Of these 6 registrations, 3 will be gathered using mobile devices and 3 using conventional paper based registers.

The study primary endpoint is precision. The golden standard is dietary recall. The two methods will be assessed in accordance with their uniformity to the dietary recalls, which will be performed by the investigators following the meals.

As a preemptive measure, an internal retrospective audit was performed, with dietary registration as the objective. This audit was completed to retrieve baseline data on dietary registration, and determine whether the rehabilitation unit conforms to the regulations set by the region.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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.
Active Comparator: Group 1 (Digital -> Conventional)
Patients allocated to Group 1 (Digital -> Conventional) will undergo three days of digital dietary registration, using mobile devices, followed by three days of conventional dietary registration, using pen and paper.
Other: Digital dietary registration

The purpose of the intervention is to test whether digital dietary registration can yield more precise and consistent data, than conventional pen and paper based registration.

Furthermore a subjective evaluation of the use of digital registration will be conducted by the staff upon completion of the intervention. The format will be individual interviews held by the investigators.

Other Names:
  • Dietary registration app supplied by Movesca ApS, used on cellphones present at the unit
Other: Conventional dietary registration
The conventional way of doing dietary registration. This is done by a paper form, with the dietary options listed. The form is then filled in and logged by staff working in the afternoon.
Other Names:
  • Paper form with all the possbible dietary options for each meal listed.
Active Comparator: Group 2 - (Conventional -> Digital)
Patients allocated to Group 2 - (Conventional -> Digital) will undergo the exact opposite sequence, commencing with three days of conventional dietary registration, using pen and paper, followed by three days of digital dietary registration, using mobile devices.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Registered total kJ ingested compared to total kJ registered using golden standard
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Does digital dietary registration yield greater precision than conventional paper based registration, in regards to total kJ?
4 weeks
Registered total protein ingested compared to total protein registered using golden standard
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Does digital dietary registration yield greater precision than conventional paper based registration, in regards to protein intake?
4 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Is an adequate consumption of kJ (>75% of estimated kJ) achieved in fewer days with the digital dietary registration, than the conventional dietary registration
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Do patients reach a stable nutritional state faster when exposed to digital dietary registration, compared to conventional paper based registration? Stable nutritional state is defined as consuming >75% of estimated kJ need per day. Tracked by comparing the registered consumed kJ of the day, with the estimated daily need
4 weeks
Is an adequate consumption of protein (>75% of estimated protein) achieved in fewer days with the digital dietary registration, than the conventional dietary registration
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Do patients reach a stable nutritional state faster when exposed to digital dietary registration, compared to conventional paper based registration? Stable nutritional state is defined as consuming >75% of estimated protein need per day. Tracked by comparing the registered consumed protein of the day, with the estimated daily need
4 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Are the forms used for dietary registration filled out uniformly, by different personale
Time Frame: 4 weeks
It will be examined whether or not the personal fills out the forms uniformly across all the included personale. It will be examined by comparing dietary registrations from different days, filled out by different personale.
4 weeks
Subjective experience of the staff regarding the intervention, examined by doing a semistructured interview with the personale.
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Do staff consider digital dietary registration to be an improvement over conventional paper based registration? This will be explored by semistructured interview, held by the investigators.
