Re: PapersMulticentre randomised controlled trial of nursing intervention for breathlessness in patients with lung cancer
Dear Study Team,
The intervention were described as:
"....
....
Early recognition of problems warranting pharmacological or medical intervention"
Could you comment on the frequency of opioid use in both groups at baseline and during the study period?
"to ensure the uniformity of the intervention across centres: all nurses taking part were taught the intervention in the same way, using a practice guideline, and they all completed a checklist at the end of each intervention session indicating the strategies they had used with patients (these were used to monitor correct delivery of the intervention)."
I wonder if you could provide your checklist tools and share it with us in the supplemetary matrial collection.
Best regards
