Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> As this is a pilot study, the primary objective will be informing a definitive trial to follow. The feasibility/pilot objectives include:<br> 1. Investigating the integrity of the study protocol<br> 2. Insight into likely recruitment rates and barriers to recruitment<br> 3. Testing delivery of patient questionnaires and the randomisation process<br> 4. Assessing the acceptability of the intervention<br> 5. Collection of pilot data on effect size and variability<br> 6. Selection of suitable primary and secondary outcomes (from the outcomes of interest listed below) and subsequent sample size calculation for a pivotal trial.<br> The outcomes of interest include:<br> 1. Measures of renal function<br> 2. Measures of cardiovascular function<br> 3. Measures of periodontal health<br> 4. Patient-centred outcomes<br>
