Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Primary Outcome of Phase I: Change in cardiovascular risk score

    The change in cardiovascular risk scores calculated by 2019 WHO laboratory-based risk charts

    24 months after baseline

  • Primary Outcome of Phase II: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)

    Incidence of coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure and all-cause mortality

    60 months after baseline

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Secondary Outcome of Phase I: Change in systolic blood pressure

    24 months after baseline

  • Secondary Outcome of Phase I: Change in total cholesterol

    24 months after baseline

  • Secondary Outcome of Phase I: Change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol

    24 months after baseline

  • Secondary Outcome of Phase II: Change in health-related quality of life

    60 months after baseline

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Other Pre-specified Outcome of Phase II: Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER)

    60 months after baseline

Study Arms (2)

Intervention arm

EXPERIMENTAL

The interventions include cardiovascular risk assessment, dynamic risk monitoring, and regular general practitioner (GP) visits. The frequency of risk assessment, risk monitoring, and automatic mobile texting will be once per month, while regular GP visits will be once per three months.

Other: Frequent and automatic cardiovascular risk assessmentOther: Dynamic risk monitoringOther: Regular GP visits

Control arm

NO INTERVENTION

Current regular management (usual care) will be kept in the control arm. The management objectives are for patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus. The frequency of follow-up is at least once per three months.

Interventions

The 10-year cardiovascular risk scores using the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) laboratory-based risk charts will be automatically calculated using the latest health information on an EHR-based system per month.

Intervention arm

High-risk individuals will be reassessed by the Dynamic Risk-based Early wArning and Monitoring (DREAM) system to obtain the short-term risk. The DREAM system will send a text message about advice to the high-risk individual every month. The text message includes information on the health status (e.g., current cardiovascular risk, level of blood pressure and lipid) and real-time warning messages (e.g., high short-term risk).

Intervention arm

The general practitioners will communicate with the participants based on the information automatically generated from the DREAM system every three months: each participant's cardiovascular risk score, health status (e.g., diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension), and Chinese guidelines-based recommendations (e.g., "for the management of dyslipidemia, to provide clear treatment targets for high-risk participants").
