Adherence to HU and HRQOL in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease: An Intervention Study Using HU-Go App
Adherence to Hydroxyurea and Health-related Quality of Life in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease: An Intervention Study Using a Smartphone App (HU-Go)

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Aim 1: Identify the needs, desires, concerns, and expectations of AYA patients with SCD and their parents/caregivers that will guide implementation of a mHealth tool, HU-Go, designed to improve adherence to HU. We will conduct semi-structured interviews with patients and their parents/caregivers. Transcripts will be independently coded and thematic analysis will be conducted.
Hypothesis 1: AYA patients with SCD and their parents/caregivers will identify specific features, content, and usability requirements of HU-Go.
Aim 2: Assess the longitudinal relationship of HU adherence to HRQoL domains, including fatigue and depression. HU adherence will be measured using electronic pill bottles, self-report measures, laboratory markers, and medication possession ratio (MPR). HRQOL will be assessed using PROMIS® measures.
Hypothesis 2: Low HU adherence is associated with impairment of HRQoL domains.
Aim 3: Conduct a single-arm, pilot study to determine the effect size associated with improvement in HU adherence after using HU-Go for 12 weeks. Adherence will be measured using self-report measures, laboratory markers and MPR.
Hypothesis 3: HU-Go will improve HU adherence by at least 20%.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Achieving feasibility based on the number of participants completed all study procedures within 6 months of study enrollment
Time Frame: 3 months of study enrollment
|
Feasibility is defined as having 80% or more of study participants complete the study within 6 months of enrollment
|
3 months of study enrollment
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Adherence to Hydroxyurea using Modified Morisky Adherence Scale 8-items
Time Frame: 3 months of study enrollment
|
Numerical value on a scale 0-8 (higher score indicating higher adherence to hydroxyurea)
|
3 months of study enrollment
|
Adherence to Hydroxyurea using Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 3 months of study enrollment
|
Numerical value on a scale 0-100% (higher score indicating higher adherence to hydroxyurea)
|
3 months of study enrollment
|
Patient satisfaction with the smartphone app intervention (HU-Go)
Time Frame: 3 months of study enrollment
|
Customized patient satisfaction questionnaire, numerical value on a scale 0-10 (higher score indicating higher satisfaction with the app)
|
3 months of study enrollment
|
HRQOL outcomes
Time Frame: 3 months
|
Patient reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) measures, numerical value on a scale of 0-100 points, normal average for the general population is 50 with standard deviation of 10 points.
Each HRQOL outcome domain score will be reported separately (higher T scores indicating worse pain, fatigue, depression and anxiety, and lower scores indicating worse physical functioning and peer relationships).
