Outcomes From an Asthma Disease Management Program
NCT00137722 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Disease management is used to manage patients who have asthma and who are enrolled in a managed care health plan. To understand the effect of disease management on asthma severity and utilization, the investigators at Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, will review data from a Medicaid Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) to determine the number of health plan members with different asthma severities and what their outcomes are. This will help us to improve the service provided to these patients. The investigators wish to publish this so that other health plans can benefit from the investigators experience.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00137722
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00137722 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. An enrollment target was not published in the registry record, which is common for early-stage or observational entries. The listed sponsor is Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City, which has 93 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Asthma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Education of providers and their staff is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00137722 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Missouri. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
