Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
WP1: Identification of the opportunities that exist to improve care after discharge from hospital following acute pancreatitis measured using survey of stakeholders to identify the key features and characteristics that define a ‘good’ follow-up pathway for patients with AP. Qualitative content analysis using a thematic approach at until saturation is reached (40 patients/ carers, 40 clinicians);WP2: Commentary describing the experiences of participants (patients and their carers) following discharge from hospital with acute pancreatitis measured using purposive selection of candidates completing an EoI to maximise sampling across collected descriptors (sex, ethnicity, aetiology, region), followed by semi-structure interviews (informed by analysis of WP1) and qualitative thematic analysis at Following analysis of WP1 to run concurrently with WP3 and WP4;WP3: Commentary describing the experiences of NHS clinicians with responsibilities for the care of patients with AP measured using purposive selection of candidates completing an EoI to maximise sampling across collected descriptors (sex, ethnicity, aetiology, region), followed by semi-structure interviews (informed by analysis of WP1) and qualitative thematic analysis at following analysis of WP1 to run concurrently with WP2 and WP4;WP4: Patient demographics, Patient co-morbidities, Prior diagnosis of mental health issues, Disease aetiology and inpatient treatment, Clinician planned follow-up on discharge measured using patient records at baseline;WP4: Alcohol usage measured using AUDIT-C PROM at baseline;WP4: Patient quality of life measured using EQ-5D-5L PROM at discharge, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months;WP4: Patient anxiety measured using GAD-7 PROM at discharge, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months;WP4: Patient depression measured using PHQ-9 PROM at discharge, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months;WP4: Patient endocrine insufficiency score measured using PEI-Q PROM at discharge, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, 6 m
