About this trial

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of CirrhosisRx, a novel clinical decision support (CDS) system for inpatient cirrhosis care, versus "usual care" on adherence to national quality measures and clinical outcomes for hospitalized patients with cirrhosis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All adult (age ≥ 18 years) patients who have cirrhosis identified based on 1+ chronic liver disease and 1+ cirrhosis (or its complications) International Classification of Diseases, Revision 10 diagnosis codes OR mention of cirrhosis or portal hypertension (or their complications) in clinical documentation admitted at our institution.

Disqualifiers

Children (age < 18 years)

patients who do not meet the cirrhosis definition criteria as noted above

ambulatory patients

Trial design

Design model

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CirrhosisRx CDS

    Other intervention

    CirrhosisRx is a cirrhosis-specific CDS that organizes clinical data into clinically relevant groupings and links them to order sets consistent with national practice guidelines for inpatient cirrhosis care.

Treatment groups

2,106 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Aggregate adherence to quality measures

This outcome is the aggregate adherence to five American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) and American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) quality measures applicable to hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. The calculation for the measure will be the total number of admissions satisfying the five AGA/AASLD quality measures divided by the total number of addressable admissions (e.g. hospitalizations in which these quality metrics could be applied). In the cases which an admission could satisfying two or more metrics, this single admission will be multiple times per the number of times metrics could be potentially applied.

Time frame
During the hospitalization, approximately 7 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Inpatient mortality

This outcome is death during the admission

Time frame
During the hospitalization, approximately 7 days

Other outcomes

3

Implementation of CirrhosisRx

Proportions of clinicians implementing an order set through CirrhosisRx

Time frame
Through study completetion, approximately 36 months
4

Maintenance of CirrhosisRx

Rate of use over time and contamination rate

Time frame
Through study completetion, approximately 36 months
