An interventional study of Virtual multidisciplinary review in Pulmonary Nodule, Solitary and Pulmonary Nodule, Multiple, sponsored by Southern Adelaide Local Health Network. Status unknown at 1 site in Australia. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-09-21.
Sponsored by Southern Adelaide Local Health Network · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
This is a study to determine how a virtual model for the management of lung nodules compares to a face-to-face clinic for patient satisfaction, quality of life and cost.
Initial Steps:
Individuals that have consented to participate are randomly assigned to either the 'virtual model' of lung nodule management (a), or the 'face-to-face model' of lung nodule management (b). Each participant has a 50% chance (1 in 2) of being assigned to either group.
All participants in this research study will be asked to complete an initial set of two questionnaires. The questionnaires include:
Once participants have had their face-to-face appointment or virtual review, they will be asked to complete four questionnaires at a 1-month and 3-month interval. The questionnaires include:
188 studies on the registry are indexed under Multiple Pulmonary Nodules; 60 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 55 is below the median of 88 across 97 interventional studies indexed under Multiple Pulmonary Nodules.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants in this arm will be reviewed in a virtual clinic by a multidisciplinary team
Other: Virtual multidisciplinary review
Participants in this group will be reviewed in a face-to-face clinic
The virtual multidisciplinary review involves participants being reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team of specialist doctors, nurses and radiologists in a virtual environment. The team will analyse radiologic scans and make a recommendations for any follow-up scans, procedures or appointments that may be required
Cost
Economic cost to participants and our health service, measured by an investigator-derived questionnaire asking participants to describe time spent engaging in the their health care and any direct costs associated with visits. Economical modelling will also be applied to determine the staffing and resource costs associated with provision of care to participants in each arm.
Time frame: 6 months
Participant satisfaction
Participant satisfaction, measured by the Visit-Specific Satisfaction Instrument (VSQ-9)
Time frame: 6 months
Anxiety
Participant anxiety as measure by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), which is a questionnaire containing seven items each for depression and anxiety subscales. Scoring for each item ranges from zero to three, with three denoting highest anxiety or depression level. A total subscale score of \>8 points out of a possible 21 denotes considerable symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Time frame: 6 months
