Registered outcomes 8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Breathlessness intensity (Borg CR10) after the 6-minute walk test | Week 12 | Breathlessness rated on the Borg CR10 scale (0 = nothing at all, 10 = maximal; higher is worse) during the 5 minutes of seated recovery after a 6-minute walk test, with a fan (fan-to-face and fan-to-leg arms) or seated rest without a fan (no-fan arm). Rated at minutes 1, 3 and 5; the minute used for the primary analysis is \[FIX BEFORE SUBMITTING\]. The walk test is done without a fan in all arms. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | 6-minute walk distance | Week 0 and week 12 | Distance walked in 6 minutes. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Recovery time after exertion | Week 0 and week 12 | Minutes from the end of the walk test until Borg breathlessness first returns to the pre-test value, asked every minute for 5 minutes (censored at 5 minutes). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Borg CR10 breathing discomfort | Week 0 and week 12 | Borg CR10 rating of breathing discomfort (0 to 10, higher is worse), assessed before and at the end of the 6-minute walk test. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Dyspnoea-12 total score | Week 0 and week 12 | 12 breathlessness descriptors, each scored 0 to 3; total 0 to 36 (higher is worse), with physical (0 to 21) and affective (0 to 15) components. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Functional class | Week 0 and week 12 | NYHA class (I to IV) in heart failure participants, and MRC dyspnoea grade (1 to 5) in all participants. Higher is worse. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Borg CR10 leg effort | Time Frame: Week 0 and Week 12 | Borg CR10 rating of leg effort (0 to 10, higher is worse), assessed before and at the end of the 6-minute walk test. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Other | Qualitative experience, acceptability and context | Within 7 days after the week 12 visit | Semi-structured interviews (30 to 45 minutes) with about 24 to 30 participants on how the fan was used, perceived mechanism, barriers, and effect of heat and humidity. Reflexive thematic analysis. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
