Armas e Intervenciones

Grupo de participantes/brazo
Intervención / Tratamiento
Comparador activo: Intervention group

Physicians: 10 GPs from 10 practices who treat patient with Spinal cord injury (SCI) and 10 SCI specialists.

Patients: 270 people with SCI within 25 minutes vehicle driving distance to the GP practices will be in the intervention group

Educational modules on bladder, bowel and skin-care, and pain management will be provided to participating GPs by Spinal Cord Injury specialists
Visits by specialized nurses to the participating GPs at their practices to support the establishment of specialized care on-site
Sin intervención: Control group

Physicians: 20 GPs who treat patient with SCI will not receive any intervention. They will be completing the questionnaire (DOC) and assessed for satisfaction with collaboration with the SCI specialist.

Patients: 210 people with spinal cord injury outside the catchment area of the intervention group will be receiving usual care (no intervention)

¿Qué mide el estudio?

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Average difference in total score of Doctor's Opinions on Collaboration (DOC)
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline to 12 and 24 months post intervention
DOC is a validated questionnaire covering organization, communication, professional expertise, image and knowing each other. It will be completed by GPs and SCI specialists. The DOC will be converted to an interval score and scaled from 0 to 100 with minimum and maximum score (0=completely agree, 100=completely disagree)
Change from baseline to 12 and 24 months post intervention
Average difference in total score of Modified Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS) score
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline to 12 and 24 months post intervention
Modified Spinal Cord Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS) targets secondary conditions associated with SCI composite endpoint, excluding diabetes mellitus and joint and muscle pain. Modified (SCI-SCS) includes 14 health conditions and chronic pain. Self reporting through questionnaires on pressure sores, urinary tract infections, spasticity, postural hypotension, bowel, and bladder problems, etc...). The rating scale uses a 4-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 (not experienced/insignificant problem never limiting activity) to 3 (significant/chronic problem).
Change from baseline to 12 and 24 months post intervention
