Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes represent significant global health challenges, with physical activity (PA) being essential for disease management and prevention. Despite the well-documented benefits, many individuals with (pre)diabetes remain insufficiently active. General practitioners (GP) provide an accessible platform for delivering interventions; however, integrating PA interventions into routine care is hindered by resource constraints.
Objectives: The ENERGISED trial aims to address these barriers through an innovative GP-initiated mHealth intervention combining wearable technology and just-in-time adaptive interventions.
Methods: The ENERGISED trial is a pragmatic, 12-month, multicentre, randomised controlled trial, assessing a GP-initiated mHealth intervention to increase PA and reduce sedentary behaviour in patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. The primary outcome is daily step count, assessed via wrist-worn accelerometry. The primary analysis follows the intention-to-treat principle, using mixed models for repeated measures. Missing data will be handled under the missing-at-random assumption, with sensitivity analyses exploring robustness through reference-based multiple imputation. The trial incorporates the estimand framework to provide transparent and structured treatment effect estimation.
Discussion: This statistical analysis plan outlines a robust approach to addressing participant non-adherence, protocol violations, and missing data. By adopting the estimand framework and pre-specified sensitivity analyses, the plan ensures methodological rigour while enhancing the interpretability and applicability of results.
Conclusions: The ENERGISED trial leverages innovative mHealth strategies within primary care to promote PA in individuals with (pre)diabetes. The pre-specified statistical framework provides a comprehensive guide for analysing trial data and contributes to advancing best practices in behavioural intervention trials for public health.

期刊介绍:
Trials is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that will encompass all aspects of the performance and findings of randomized controlled trials. Trials will experiment with, and then refine, innovative approaches to improving communication about trials. We are keen to move beyond publishing traditional trial results articles (although these will be included). We believe this represents an exciting opportunity to advance the science and reporting of trials. Prior to 2006, Trials was published as Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine (CCTCVM). All published CCTCVM articles are available via the Trials website and citations to CCTCVM article URLs will continue to be supported.
