Detaillierte Beschreibung
Long-lasting lung diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) - collectively called chronic respiratory disease (CRD) - place a heavy and growing burden on people living in low and middle income countries. Many of them could be healthier if their disease was accurately diagnosed and correctly treated, but many are not. Doctors and nurses working in primary health care clinic are best placed people to diagnose and treat CRD, especially where local clinics are near and free. But this raises three questions: 1. How to ensure that CRDs get the priority they need in overloaded clinics? 2. How to train clinicians to diagnose and manage CRDs without special test equipment? 3. How to ensure rational evidence-based diagnosis and prescribing for CRD?
The investigators have developed a way of improving primary health care for people who have CRD, who often also have other long term health conditions. It is a patient management tool (PMT), that is, a printed manual of flowcharts taking doctors and nurses from symptoms to diagnoses to treatments, tests or referrals, with advice on how to make decisions along the way about diagnoses, tests, treatments and referrals. They are prompted to think of other diseases and health problems that might be undetected or neglected. The package also includes a method of training known as outreach education. First trainers are trained, then trainers train groups of doctors and nurses at their workplaces, showing them how to use the guidelines, and using their own patients and clinical problems as examples. This outreach training is repeated several times in short sessions. The investigators' research in Africa has shown that this approach can be effective, cost effective, feasible and sustainable. It has been rolled out throughout South Africa and other African countries. But it has have not yet been shown to be effective for this combination of diseases (CRDs together with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, tuberculosis and back pain). The investigators have also not tried or evaluate it in Latin American countries, which have different health systems, and have many more doctors providing primary health care. Now co-investigators in the Brazilian city of Florianopolis have decided to put this educational package in place throughout the city, and have agreed to do so as a randomised controlled trial. This will clearly show whether PACK Brazil is effective, cost effective and feasible under Brazilian conditions.
The core of the research will be the randomised controlled trial. 48 primary care clinics in the city will be randomly chosen either 1) to get the whole package of patient management tool plus training, or 2) only to get the patient management tool (which we expect will make little difference without training). The investigators will compare patients in these two groups of clinics to see the effects of the training. They will use the clinics' electronic medical records to identify about 2000 adults diagnosed with asthma or COPD. After the training starts they will follow these patients up for a year, and assess whether they are being appropriately treated and tested. They will also compare the rates of new diagnoses of asthma and COPD in each clinic, and various health indicators.

Intervention / Behandlung |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention
Doctors and nurses in each clinic will receive printed copies of the patient management tool (PMT) and outreach education training.
First trainers will be trained, then trainers will train groups of doctors and nurses at their workplaces, showing them how to use the guidelines, and using their own patients and clinical problems as examples.
This outreach training is repeated several times in short sessions.

---|---|---|
Asthma composite score
Zeitfenster: During first year of follow-up
|
For participants with asthma the composite score will comprise points awarded for: i) a first prescription of an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) or ICS+ long-acting bronchodilator (LABA) combination, or a change in prescription, stepping up from short acting bronchodilator (SABA) to ICS or from ICS to long acting bronchodilator(LABA)+ICS combination; or stepping down from LABA+ICS to ICS, or from ICS to SABA (scoring one point if at least one of these occurs); and ii) request for spirometry (one point).
The composite score will be the sum of these points, and will thus range from 0-2.
The composite scores for each patient for all visits during the year will be averaged.

COPD composite score
Zeitfenster: During first year of follow-up
|
For participants with COPD the composite score with comprise points awarded for: i) a first prescription of SABA, ICS, or ICS+LABA; or a change in prescription, stepping up from SABA to LABA or LABA to ICS+LABA, or stepping down from LABA+ICS to LABA, or from LABA to SABA (scoring one point if at least one of these occurs) and ii) request for spirometry (one point).
The composite score will be the sum of these, and will thus also range from 0-2.
