Brief Summary

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most frequent valvulopathy in Western countries. The prevalence of AS is constantly increasing due to the aging of the population. Although significant progress has been made in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of AS, there is no medical treatment to slow or prevent its progression. The only treatment available is Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) performed by surgery or by catheterization (TAVI).

Once a diagnosis has been made and the decision to treat these patients has been taken, the procedure (AVR or TAVI) must be performed rapidly given the poor prognosis of the disease without treatment. Studies have shown that on the waiting list, the probability of death and hospitalisation for heart failure increases with time. This delay could also reduce the effectiveness of TAVI, thus affecting the performance of the healthcare system.

In this study, an intervention combining an e-health component (tool intended for patients, families and health professionals in contact with patients), and an organisational component (for TAVI implanting centres) has been designed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention combining a patient component and an organisational componentMonth 6

Percentage of patients with a TAVI indication with a time to TAVI procedure of less than 2 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patients' health-related quality of lifeBaseline, Months 3 and 6

Patients' health-related quality of life will be measured using the 5-level EQ-5D version (EQ-5D-5L).

Medication complianceMonth 6

Patient medication compliance will be measured using a questionnaire developed by Girerd et al, with a score going from 0 (lowest compliance) to 6 (maximum compliance).

Number of visits to the patient section of the websiteMonth 6

The number of visits to the website will be assessed through Googleanalytics®

Intervention components' adaptationMonth 6

Number of activities performed which have been modified to adapt them to the local context / total number of activities performed. A description of the adaptations performed will be provided.

Acceptability of the intervention for participating centersMonth 6

The acceptability of the intervention will be assessed through an ad hoc questionnaire addressed to TAVI centers and peripheral hospitals performing the coronary angiography of the pre-TAVI assessment.

Time to care, in daysMonth 6

The time to care is the number of days between the date of the initial consultation during which a TAVI is proposed and the date of the TAVI procedure

Mortality rateMonths 3 and 6

The mortality rate will be measured between the initial consultation during which a TAVI is proposed and the TAVI procedure, and in the three months following the procedure

Intervention components' dose and fidelityMonth 6

Number of different activities really performed for each component of the intervention / number of activities planned for each component according to the protocol.

Incremental cost-effectiveness ratioMonth 6

The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio will be expressed in cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained, derived from the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire

Patient knowledge of the disease and the TAVI procedureBaseline, Month 3

Patients' knowledge of the disease and the TAVI procedure will be measured by their score to an ad hoc questionnaire (0: minimum score - 26: maximum score).

Patient satisfactionMonth 6

Patient satisfaction with the care they received and (for the group receiving the patient component) with the patient component of the intervention will be measured using a 0 to 10 Likert scale

Reached populationsMonth 6

Percentage of target individuals who benefit from activities of each component of the intervention

Number of visits to the professional section of the websiteMonth 6

The number of visits to the website will be assessed through Googleanalytics®
