Abstract

Background: There are little data on the use of smartphone-based applications for medication adherence and risk-factor control for the secondary prevention of stroke in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs).

Aims: The aim was to determine whether a smartphone-based app improved medication adherence, risk-factor control, and provided health education to stroke survivors for lifestyle and behavioral modifications.

Methods: An unblinded, single-center randomized controlled double arm trial with 1:1 allocation among stroke survivors was performed in South India. The primary outcome was medication adherence, with co-primary outcomes of lifestyle and behavioral factors and control of vascular risk factors, at 3 and 6 months.

Results: Among 351 stroke survivors screened, 209 were recruited. The mean (standard deviation (SD)) age of the intervention (n = 105) group was 60 (12) years and that of the control (n = 104) group was 60 (10) years. In the primary outcome, mean medication adherence significantly improved in the intervention group with a between group difference of 0.735 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.419 to 1.050), p < 0.001. Being in intervention group (OR = 4.5; 95% CI = 2.3 to 8.9), stroke recurrence (OR = 3.3 (95% CI = 1.9 to 7.8)), and regular physician visits (OR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.0 to 4.4) were significant predictors of good medication adherence. Considering the co-primary outcomes, compared to the control group, participants in the intervention group had a greater improvement in self-reported healthy diet intake (p = 0.003), intake of fruits (p = 0.005), and were physically more active (p = 0.001). At 6 months, mean fasting blood sugar (p = 0.005) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol higher (p = 0.024) in the intervention group.

Conclusions: The use of a mobile app is an effective method to improve medication adherence and risk-factor control in stroke survivors and is feasible in LMICs like India.

使用智能手机应用程序对中风二级预防的用药依从性和危险因素管理(MaMoRS)进行随机对照试验。
背景:关于在中低收入国家(LMIC)使用智能手机应用程序进行中风二级预防的用药依从性和风险因素控制的数据很少:目的:确定基于智能手机的应用程序是否能改善用药依从性和风险因素控制,并为中风幸存者提供改变生活方式和行为的健康教育:方法: 在南印度进行了一项非盲法、单中心随机对照双臂试验,对中风幸存者进行 1:1 分配。主要结果是服药依从性,共同主要结果是生活方式和行为因素,以及三个月和六个月的血管风险因素控制:结果:在筛选出的 351 名中风幸存者中,有 209 人被招募。干预组(105 人)的平均年龄为 60(12)岁,对照组(104 人)的平均年龄为 60(10)岁。干预组的主要结果--平均服药依从性明显改善,组间差异为 0.735(95% CI:0.419-1.050),P 结论:使用手机应用是改善中风幸存者服药依从性和风险因素控制的有效方法,在印度等低收入国家是可行的。数据获取声明:研究中使用的数据可向通讯作者索取:本研究已在印度临床试验注册中心注册(CTRI/2022/06/042980)。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Stroke is a welcome addition to the international stroke journal landscape in that it concentrates on the clinical aspects of stroke with basic science contributions in areas of clinical interest. Reviews of current topics are broadly based to encompass not only recent advances of global interest but also those which may be more important in certain regions and the journal regularly features items of news interest from all parts of the world. To facilitate the international nature of the journal, our Associate Editors from Europe, Asia, North America and South America coordinate segments of the journal.
