Brief Summary:
The investigators goal is to assess real-world effectiveness of patient decision aids (PtDA) for high-risk decisions using the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) as a model.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Heart Failure, Systolic Heart Failure Other: Educational video and/or handout Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The investigators propose the DECIDE-ICD trial: a type II effectiveness implementation hybrid trial of the investigators ICD PtDAs. The Investigators will use a 6-site stepped-wedge design, with implementation guided by normalization process theory® and evaluation guided by the RE-AIM framework.

The investigators aim to evaluate reach and effectiveness of the ICD PtDAs using a pragmatic, stepped-wedge design on decision quality (knowledge and value-concordance) and psychosocial outcomes.

  • Hypothesis 1a: PtDAs will reach over 50% of eligible patients.
  • Hypothesis 1b: ICD PtDAs will be effective in improving decision quality in real-world practice.
  • Hypothesis 1c: Better informed patients will have lower anxiety, higher rates of planning for the possibility of deactivation, and increased identification of a surrogate decision maker.

The investigators propose 3 a priori hypotheses:

  • The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by age (>= 70 years old vs <70 years old);
  • The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by heart failure type (non-ischemic vs ischemic);
  • The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by the type of device they are considering (ICD vs ICD replacement vs CRT-D).

Along with these hypotheses, we recognize that other important covariates exist, such as health literacy and education level.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 1000 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:

Step-wedge design. 6 groups will begin recruiting participants as control participants. Throughout the study, at 5 month intervals, 1 randomly selected site at a time will begin intervention.

Due to the impact of COVID-19 on sites and patient visits from March-April 2020, we moved back the implementation of intervention dates for the 5th site (UCH/DH) by 2 months and the 6th site (Beth Israel) by 1 month.
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

Actual Study Start Date : May 28, 2018
Estimated Primary Completion Date : December 31, 2021
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 31, 2021

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
No Intervention: Participants will fill out surveys
These participants will fill out surveys in regard to their experiences, opinions, and knowledge of the defibrillator process.
Active Comparator: Educational video and/or handout
These participants will receive an educational video and/or handout about the defibrillator process. Then they will fill out surveys in regard to their experiences, opinions, and knowledge of the defibrillator process.
 Other: Educational video and/or handout
The intervention includes a video and/or handout (whichever is easier for the participant) that will give information about defibrillators and about other patients' experiences with their decisions about defibrillators.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline knowledge about defibrillation at 1 month and 6 months [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months ]
    Multiple survey responses by participants will indicate knowledge changes over time.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Reach of eligible patients [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months ]
    Measuring how many patients of the eligible patient base are able to view or read the educational materials.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Differential effect by age [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months ]
    The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by age (>= 70 years old vs <70 years old)

  2. Differential effect by heart failure type [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months ]
    The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by heart failure type (non-ischemic vs ischemic)

  3. Differential effect by type of device [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months ]
    The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by the type of device they are considering (ICD vs ICD replacement vs CRT-D).
