Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
STROBERRY Study is a Prospective, monocentric, randomized, open-label study assessing the contribution of telemedicine, in addition to standard follow-up, strengthening an Obesity program in Berry (France).

Detailed Description
Obesity became a major public health issue in France. In 2019, obesity represented 5% of annual costs in health and was responsible of a 2.7% lost in France's Gross Domestic Product. In the scop of french health ministry's recommendations for obese patients'care and the territorial healthcare program; Saint-François' hospital set up 3 healthcare programs: "medical obesity"," interventional" and "post surgery". A very few number of studies aim to asse the efficacity of a long-term telemedicine follow-up after a bariatric medical care program. STROBERRY Study is a Prospective, monocentric, randomized, open-label study assessing the contribution of a long term, telemedical, personalized, educative quarterly, follow-up (4 years follow up), in addition to standard follow-up, strengthening an Obesity program in Berry (FRANCE). The principal objective is to study the effectiveness of a follow-up reinforced with telemedicine in addition to the standard multidisciplinary annual follow-up on the rate of patients lost to follow-up after initial or second line management in a multidisciplinary bariatric medical program
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Standard multidisciplinary follow-up reinforced with telemedicine Standard annual multidisciplinary follow-up, reinforced with telemedicine (remote quarterly motivational interviews) |
Other: Quarterly remote motivational interviews
Remote motivational interview will be in the form of quarterly telephone call (at 3, 6 and 9 months after the start of annual follow up; the patient is seen again at 12 months as part of the annual follow-up) and this for 4 years. It will be performed by medical staff trained in motivational interviewing and who have completed at least 40 hours training in therapeutic education
|
No Intervention: Standard multidisciplinary follow up Standard annual multidisciplinary follow-up without telemedicine follow up |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rates of patients lost to follow up [4 years]
Rates of patients lost to follow up measured in both arms and compared 4 years after randomization
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The evolution of quality of life, self-esteem and perceived health compared to baseline [1,2,3 and 4 years]
The evolution of quality of life, self-esteem and perceived health will be measured using the Duke questionnaire, and will be assessed at standard annual visits at 1, 2, 3 and 4 years after randomization
- Rate of patients lost to follow-up will be assessed at standard annual visits at 1, 2 and 3 years after randomization [1,2 and 3 years]
Rate of patients lost to follow-up will be assessed at standard annual visits at 1, 2 and 3 years after randomization
- Change in waist circumference (cm) compared with the baseline measurement will be assessed at standard annual visits at 1, 2, 3 and 4 years after randomization. [1,2,3 and 4 years]
Change in waist circumference (cm) compared with the baseline measurement will be assessed at standard annual visits at 1, 2, 3 and 4 years after randomization.
