Screening of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal disease for residents in rural areas using a medical IT network

Not Applicable

• Conditions: cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, renal disease

• Registration Number: JPRN-UMIN000018552
• Lead Sponsor: Tohoku University

Brief Summary

1029 subjects living in the rural areas were randomly assigned to an intervention group in which general practitioners (GPs) were advised by specialists through health information exchange or a control group in which GPs received no advice. All-cause mortality and cumulative incidence of serious adverse events did not differ between the groups. However, per-protocol analysis controlling for GP adherence with specialist recommendations revealed significantly reduced them in the intervention group.
