Item Open Access A feasibility study to develop and test a Spanish patient and provider intervention for managing osteoarthritis in Hispanic/Latino adults (PRIMO-Latino).(Pilot and feasibility studies, 2018-01) Corsino, Leonor; Coffman, Cynthia J; Stanwyck, Catherine; Oddone, Eugene Z; Bosworth, Hayden B; Chatterjee, Ranee; Jeffreys, Amy S; Dolor, Rowena J; Allen, Kelli DBackground
Arthritis affects approximately 50 million adults in the USA. Hispanics/Latinos have a higher prevalence of arthritis-attributed activity limitations primarily related to osteoarthritis (OA). Hispanic/Latinos are less likely to receive hip replacement independent of health care access, and they are less likely to receive knee replacement. There have been few interventions to improve OA treatment among the Hispanic/Latino population in the USA. In our study, we aimed to develop and test a telephone delivered culturally appropriate Spanish behavioral intervention for the management of OA in Hispanic/Latino adults.Methods
We conducted a feasibility study in an academic health center and local community in Durham, North Carolina. We enrolled self-identified Spanish speaking overweight/obese adults (≥ 18) with OA of the knee and/or hip under the care of a primary health care provider. The 12-month patient intervention focused on physical activity, weight management, and cognitive behavioral pain management skills. The patient intervention was delivered via telephone with calls scheduled twice per month for the first 6 months, then monthly for the last 6 months (18 sessions). The one-time provider intervention included delivery of patient-specific OA treatment recommendations, based on patients' baseline data and published guidelines. The primary measures were metrics of feasibility, including recruitment and intervention delivery. We also assessed pain, stiffness, and function using the Spanish-Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC).Results
A total of 1879 participants were identified for potential enrollment. Of those, 1864 did not meet inclusion criteria, were not able to be reached or refused. Fifteen participants enrolled in the intervention. The mean number of phone calls completed was 14.7. Eighty percent completed more than 16 calls. The mean WOMAC baseline score (SD) was 39 (20); mean improvement in WOMAC scores between baseline and 12 months, among 11 participants who completed the study, was - 13.27 [95% CI, - 25.09 to - 1.46] points.Conclusion
Recruitment of Hispanics/Latinos, continues to be a major challenge. A Spanish-based telephone delivering lifestyle intervention for OA management in Hispanic/Latino adults is feasible to deliver and may lead to improved OA symptoms. Future research is needed to further test the feasibility and effectiveness of this type of intervention in this segment of the population.Trial registration
NCT01782417.Item Open Access Clinic variation in recruitment metrics, patient characteristics and treatment use in a randomized clinical trial of osteoarthritis management.(BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2014-12) Allen, Kelli D; Bosworth, Hayden B; Chatterjee, Ranee; Coffman, Cynthia J; Corsino, Leonor; Jeffreys, Amy S; Oddone, Eugene Z; Stanwyck, Catherine; Yancy, William S; Dolor, Rowena JBackground
The Patient and PRovider Interventions for Managing Osteoarthritis (OA) in Primary Care (PRIMO) study is one of the first health services trials targeting OA in a multi-site, primary care network. This multi-site approach is important for assessing generalizability of the interventions. These analyses describe heterogeneity in clinic and patient characteristics, as well as recruitment metrics, across PRIMO study clinics.Methods
Baseline data were obtained from the PRIMO study, which enrolled n = 537 patients from ten Duke Primary Care practices. The following items were examined across clinics with descriptive statistics: (1) Practice Characteristics, including primary care specialty, numbers and specialties of providers, numbers of patients age 55+, urban/rural location and county poverty level; (2) Recruitment Metrics, including rates of eligibility, refusal and randomization; (3) Participants' Characteristics, including demographic and clinical data (general and OA-related); and (4) Participants' Self-Reported OA Treatment Use, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were computed for participant characteristics and OA treatment use to describe between-clinic variation.Results
Study clinics varied considerably across all measures, with notable differences in numbers of patients age 55+ (1,507-5,400), urban/rural location (ranging from "rural" to "small city"), and proportion of county households below poverty level (12%-26%). Among all medical records reviewed, 19% of patients were initially eligible (10%-31% across clinics), and among these, 17% were randomized into the study (13%-21% across clinics). There was considerable between-clinic variation, as measured by the ICC (>0.01), for the following patient characteristics and OA treatment use variables: age (means: 60.4-66.1 years), gender (66%-88% female), race (16%-61% non-white), low income status (5%-27%), presence of hip OA (26%-68%), presence both knee and hip OA (23%-61%), physical therapy for knee OA (24%-61%) and hip OA (0%-71%), and use of knee brace with metal supports (0%-18%).Conclusions
Although PRIMO study sites were part of one primary care practice network in one health care system, clinic and patient characteristics varied considerably, as did OA treatment use. This heterogeneity illustrates the importance of including multiple, diverse sites in trials for knee and hip OA, to enhance the generalizability and evaluate potential for real-world implementation.Trial registration

NCT 01435109.Item Open Access EXpanding Technology-Enabled, Nurse-Delivered Chronic Disease Care (EXTEND): Protocol and Baseline Data for a Randomized Trial.(Contemporary clinical trials, 2024-08) German, Jashalynn; Yang, Qing; Hatch, Daniel; Lewinski, Allison; Bosworth, Hayden B; Kaufman, Brystana G; Chatterjee, Ranee; Pennington, Gina; Matters, Doreen; Lee, Donghwan; Urlichich, Diana; Kokosa, Sarah; Canupp, Holly; Gregory, Patrick; Roberson, Cindy Leslie; Smith, Benjamin; Huber, Sherry; Doukellis, Katheryn; Deal, Tammi; Burns, Rose; Crowley, Matthew J; Shaw, Ryan JBackground
Approximately 10-15 % of individuals with type 2 diabetes have persistently poorly-controlled diabetes mellitus (PPDM) despite receiving available care, and frequently have comorbid hypertension. Mobile monitoring-enabled telehealth has the potential to improve outcomes in treatment-resistant chronic disease by supporting self-management and facilitating patient-clinician contact but must be designed in a manner amenable to real-world use.Methods
Expanding Technology-Enabled, Nurse-Delivered Chronic Disease Care (EXTEND) is an ongoing randomized trial comparing two 12-month interventions for comorbid PPDM and hypertension: 1) EXTEND, a mobile monitoring-enabled self-management intervention; and 2) EXTEND Plus, a comprehensive, nurse-delivered telehealth program incorporating mobile monitoring, self-management support, and pharmacist-supported medication management. Both arms leverage a novel platform that uses existing technological infrastructure to enable transmission of patient-generated health data into the electronic health record. The primary study outcome is difference in HbA1c change from baseline to 12 months. Secondary outcomes include blood pressure, weight, implementation barriers/facilitators, and costs.Results
Enrollment concluded in June 2023 following randomization of 220 patients. Baseline characteristics are similar between arms; mean age is 54.5 years, and the cohort is predominantly female (63.6 %) and Black (68.2 %), with a baseline HbA1c of 9.81 %.Conclusion
The EXTEND trial is evaluating two mobile monitoring-enabled telehealth approaches that seek to improve outcomes for patients with PPDM and hypertension. Critically, these approaches are designed around existing infrastructure, so may be amenable to implementation and scaling. This study will promote real-world use of telehealth to maximize benefits for those with high-risk chronic disease.Item Open Access Patient and provider interventions for managing osteoarthritis in primary care: protocols for two randomized controlled trials.(BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2012-04) Allen, Kelli D; Bosworth, Hayden B; Brock, Dorothea S; Chapman, Jennifer G; Chatterjee, Ranee; Coffman, Cynthia J; Datta, Santanu K; Dolor, Rowena J; Jeffreys, Amy S; Juntilla, Karen A; Kruszewski, Jennifer; Marbrey, Laurie E; McDuffie, Jennifer; Oddone, Eugene Z; Sperber, Nina; Sochacki, Mary P; Stanwyck, Catherine; Strauss, Jennifer L; Yancy, William SBackground
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip and knee are among the most common chronic conditions, resulting in substantial pain and functional limitations. Adequate management of OA requires a combination of medical and behavioral strategies. However, some recommended therapies are under-utilized in clinical settings, and the majority of patients with hip and knee OA are overweight and physically inactive. Consequently, interventions at the provider-level and patient-level both have potential for improving outcomes. This manuscript describes two ongoing randomized clinical trials being conducted in two different health care systems, examining patient-based and provider-based interventions for managing hip and knee OA in primary care.Methods / design
One study is being conducted within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system and will compare a Combined Patient and Provider intervention relative to usual care among n = 300 patients (10 from each of 30 primary care providers). Another study is being conducted within the Duke Primary Care Research Consortium and will compare Patient Only, Provider Only, and Combined (Patient + Provider) interventions relative to usual care among n = 560 patients across 10 clinics. Participants in these studies have clinical and / or radiographic evidence of hip or knee osteoarthritis, are overweight, and do not meet current physical activity guidelines. The 12-month, telephone-based patient intervention focuses on physical activity, weight management, and cognitive behavioral pain management. The provider intervention involves provision of patient-specific recommendations for care (e.g., referral to physical therapy, knee brace, joint injection), based on evidence-based guidelines. Outcomes are collected at baseline, 6-months, and 12-months. The primary outcome is the Western Ontario and McMasters Universities Osteoarthritis Index (self-reported pain, stiffness, and function), and secondary outcomes are the Short Physical Performance Test Protocol (objective physical function) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (depressive symptoms). Cost effectiveness of the interventions will also be assessed.Discussion
Results of these two studies will further our understanding of the most effective strategies for improving hip and knee OA outcomes in primary care settings.Trial registration
NCT01130740 (VA); NCT 01435109 (NIH).Item Open Access Patient, Provider, and Combined Interventions for Managing Osteoarthritis in Primary Care: A Cluster Randomized Trial.(Annals of internal medicine, 2017-03) Allen, Kelli D; Oddone, Eugene Z; Coffman, Cynthia J; Jeffreys, Amy S; Bosworth, Hayden B; Chatterjee, Ranee; McDuffie, Jennifer; Strauss, Jennifer L; Yancy, William S; Datta, Santanu K; Corsino, Leonor; Dolor, Rowena JBackground
A single-site study showed that a combined patient and provider intervention improved outcomes for patients with knee osteoarthritis, but it did not assess separate effects of the interventions.Objective
To examine whether patient-based, provider-based, and patient-provider interventions improve osteoarthritis outcomes.Design
Cluster randomized trial with assignment to patient, provider, and patient-provider interventions or usual care. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01435109).Setting
10 Duke University Health System community-based primary care clinics.Participants
537 outpatients with symptomatic hip or knee osteoarthritis.Intervention
The telephone-based patient intervention focused on weight management, physical activity, and cognitive behavioral pain management. The provider intervention involved electronic delivery of patient-specific osteoarthritis treatment recommendations to providers.Measurements
The primary outcome was the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) total score at 12 months. Secondary outcomes were objective physical function (Short Physical Performance Battery) and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire). Linear mixed models assessed the difference in improvement among groups.Results
No difference was observed in WOMAC score changes from baseline to 12 months in the patient (-1.5 [95% CI, -5.1 to 2.0]; P = 0.40), provider (2.5 [CI, -0.9 to 5.9]; P = 0.152), or patient-provider (-0.7 [CI, -4.2 to 2.8]; P = 0.69) intervention groups compared with usual care. All groups had improvements in WOMAC scores at 12 months (range, -3.7 to -7.7). In addition, no differences were seen in objective physical function or depressive symptoms at 12 months in any of the intervention groups compared with usual care.Limitations
The study involved 1 health care network. Data on provider referrals were not collected.Conclusion
Contrary to a previous study of a combined patient and provider intervention for osteoarthritis in a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center, this study found no statistically significant improvements in the osteoarthritis intervention groups compared with usual care.Primary funding source
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.Item Open Access Potassium Measures and Their Associations with Glucose and Diabetes Risk: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).(PLoS One, 2016) Chatterjee, Ranee; Zelnick, Leila; Mukamal, Kenneth J; Nettleton, Jennifer A; Kestenbaum, Bryan R; Siscovick, David S; Ix, Joachim H; Tracy, Russell; Hoofnagle, Andrew N; Svetkey, Laura P; Edelman, David; de Boer, Ian HBACKGROUND: Recent studies have found low-normal potassium (K) to be associated with increased diabetes risk. We sought to verify these associations in a multi-ethnic US cohort; and to determine if these associations extend to US Hispanics and Asian-Americans. METHODS: We analyzed data from Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) participants who were free-of-diabetes at baseline. We examined cross-sectional associations between measures of K-serum, dietary, and urine-with fasting glucose and HOMA-IR. We examined longitudinal associations between K and diabetes risk over 8 years. FINDINGS: In multivariable models, compared to those with higher serum K (≥4.5mmol/L), those with lower serum K (<4.0mmol/L) had significantly higher fasting glucose [1.3 mg/dL (95%CI 0.2, 2.4), P-value = 0.03]. Incident diabetes developed in 1281 of 5415 at-risk participants. In minimally-adjusted models, we found inverse associations between serum and dietary K and diabetes risk. Compared to those with higher serum K, those with lower serum K had an HR (95% CI) of incident diabetes of 1.23 (1.04, 1.47), P-value = 0.02. However, these associations were attenuated in fully-adjusted models. We found no significant interaction between potassium and ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS: In this multi-ethnic cohort, we found a significant inverse association between serum K and fasting glucose but no significant association with longer-term diabetes risk. This inverse association between potassium and glucose must be studied further to understand the physiology and its potential impact on chronic health.Item Open Access Serum potassium is a predictor of incident diabetes in African Americans with normal aldosterone: the Jackson Heart Study(AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL NUTRITION, 2017-02) Chatterjee, Ranee; Davenport, Clemontina A; Svetkey, Laura P; Batch, Bryan C; Lin, Pao-Hwa; Ramachandran, Vasan S; Fox, Ervin R; Harman, Jane; Yeh, Hsin-Chieh; Selvin, Elizabeth; Correa, Adolfo; Butler, Kenneth; Edelman, David
