PRIMA-AI: Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate the Impact of AI on Shared Decision Making in Post-kidney Transplant Care
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to analyze the effects of AI-based risk prediction for graft loss on the frequency of conversations about the treatment after graft loss, as well as the associated shared decision making process in post-kidney transplant care in a German kidney transplant center (KTC), as perceived by the patient, their support person and the clinician/physician. Second, it aims to explore changes in patient and support person recall at 12 and 24 months follow-up. Implementation barriers and enablers will also be assessed.

Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Routine Care Patients in the "Routine Care" arm are will undergo regular follow-up at the kidney transplant center. |
|
Experimental: AI-supported Care Patients in the "AI-supported Care" arm will undergo regular follow-up at the kidney transplant center. Treating physicians will be provided an AI-based risk prediction tool that predict 1-year risk of graft loss for patients in this group based on routine parameters. |
Other: AI-based risk prediction for kidney graft loss
Implementation of AI-based risk prediction tool for the 1-year risk of kidney graft loss.
