Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- age ≥ 18 years (stroke is commoner above this age cut-off)
- male or females (sex is a biologic variable of interest)
- recent stroke (within one month of symptom onset)- stroke may be ischemic or hemorrhagic based on brain imaging or diagnosed clinically using the locally validated version of the 8-item questionnaire for verifying stroke free status (8-QVSFS) when neuroimaging is not feasible
- uncontrolled HTN (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg at both the last clinical encounter post-stroke and the eligibility screening visit) - SBP is used as the selection variable since most African hypertensives <60 years have systolic or combination systolic/ diastolic HTN and for most patients, controlling SBP also results in DBP control
- patients or family carers should own a basic mobile phone that can receive text/audio messages.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any condition that would limit participation in follow up assessments, such as severe cognitive impairment/dementia (MMSE ≤24).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Standard of Care
|
|
Experimental: PINGS 2
|
Home BP monitoring, medication reminders using phone alerts, and patient education on hypertension, cardiovascular risk reduction & stroke

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Systolic blood pressure
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Target goal of <140/90 mmHg measured at baseline, months 3, 6, 9 and 12. Measured by blinded evaluator using an automated BP monitor.
|
12 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Self-management
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Compared between the two groups using the validated Hypertension Self-care Profile questionnaire (HBP SCP) with items that compositely assesses behavior, motivation and self-efficacy of hypertension management.
Assessed at months 4, 8 and 12 (α.83-.93,
r = .64).
A total score can range from 20 to 80 with higher score indicating better self-care practice.
|
12 months
|
Medication adherence
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Measured using Medication possession ratio177 and 14-item Hill-Bone compliance (HBC) to high blood pressure therapy scale with items that assess medication adherence, clinic appointments and salt intake assessed at months 3, 6, 9 and 12 (α.76-.83,
r = .64)
MPR and HBC will be measured in both PINGS and usual care arms at stated time points.
Higher scores (0-14) indicate lower adherence (i.e. higher non adherence).
|
12 months
|
Number of Cardiovascular ED encounters and Re-hospitalizations
Time Frame: 12 months
|
To be assessed via once monthly calls to patients and/or carers over 12 months of follow up in both the PINGS and usual care groups. Patient carers in both arms will also be encouraged to contact study team within 48 hours of hospitalizations for prompt and blinded adjudication of all potential CVD ED encounters to minimize reporting bias between the two groups. |
12 months
|
Number of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Major Adverse Cardiovascular events (MACE) to be assessed include recurrent stroke: fatal/ severely disabling stroke or non-fatal stroke; Coronary Artery Disease: Acute STEMI/NSTEMI, sudden cardiac deaths.
MACE will be confirmed by a blinded adjudicator by reviewing where available clinical notes supported by investigations e.g.
CT scan, EKGs, review of death certificates or verbal autopsy if death occurs outside hospital.
|
12 months
|
Health-related quality of Life: The Euro Quality of Life-5D questionnaire
Time Frame: 12 months
|
The EQ-5D questionnaire,186 will assess state of health of study participants at baseline and Month 12. Scores range from 0 (the worst possible health status) to 100 (the best possible health status).
|
12 months
|
Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Health Literacy in HPT/stroke
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Self-Report: HTN/stroke Knowledge questionnaire (r=.70)
Health literacy questionnaire (r = .74,
.82)
Assessed at months 0, 6,12.
Higher scores indicate higher health literacy.
Scales 1-5 are scored on a 4-point Likert-type response scale (strongly disagree, disagree, agree, strongly agree) and scales 6-9 are scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale with response options focusing on difficulty (cannot do or always difficult, usually difficult, sometimes difficult, usually easy, always easy).
|
12 months
|
Disability/Functional status
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Functional status after stroke will be assessed by Research Assistants using the Modified Rankin Scale with a scores ranging from 0 to 6, where 0=no functional limitation and 6 = death.
Assessed at months 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12.
|
12 months
|
Sex, Age, cultural, socio-economic Factors, study site
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Assessed based on self reports at baseline.
Cultural factors to assess include language spoken at home, religious observances, acceptance of gender roles; occupation, religious beliefs and dietary practices.
|
12 months
