A Cluster Randomized Trial of a Telemedicine-Enabled Integrated Care Model for Stroke Prevention and Management in Rural Elderly Adults in China
This cluster randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel telemedicine-enabled integrated care model led by rural doctors in reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events among elderly adults (≥65 years) at high risk of stroke in rural China. A total of 39 village clinics will be randomized to either the intervention group (digital health platform-supported integrated care) or the control group (enhanced usual care). The primary outcome is a composite of cardiovascular death, stroke, and hospitalization for heart failure or acute coronary syndrome at 36 months.
