NCT02432469

Brief Summary

The study is a randomized controlled trial, having a plan to recruit 1000 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in 1 of 5 participating sites in 2015, and randomized to either the intervention group or control group, to test the effectiveness of a smartphone based application (APP) focusing on improving patients medication adherence. Patients randomized to the intervention group install the APP in their smartphones with personnel information and physicians' medication descriptions. The APP reminds at the time of taking medications, educates them on secondary prevention for coronary artery disease, and collects their weekly situations by questionaires. Investigators will follow-up patients by face to face or telephone interview. The 6-month effects of the intervention are evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Medication adherence measured by Chinese version of the 8-item Morisky medication adherence scale (C-MMAC-8)

    patients' medication adherence measured by C-MMAC-8 at 6-month after randomization, the scale of more than 7 is defined as adherence to medications

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Medication adherence measured by C-MMAC-8

    3 month

  • mortality at 6-month

    6 months

  • mortality at 3-month

    3 months

  • rate of major adverse cardiovascular or cerebral events at 6-month

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

APP specific for this study, with reminder, education materials and feedback mechanism for improving secondary medications

Behavioral: APP intervention

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Usual Care

Interventions

The APP contains education materials about secondary intervention of coronary artery disease, patients can surf and read them very easily. The APP also collects information on medication prescription by doctors, reminds patients at every time of taking medications, and asks for feedback from patients at 8 pm every day. The APP also pushes a patient-specific questionnaire with 10-15 questions weekly, to collect information about patients' medication adherence and self-management on blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose, physical activity, diet and body weight. APP pushes series of recommendations right after patients' finishing the questionnaire to help them improve their secondary prevention.
