## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- This randomized feasibility trial evaluated a multicomponent collaborative quality improvement strategy (**C-QIP**) for chronic **cardiovascular disease** (ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, heart failure) in four Indian outpatient clinics. - 410 adults were randomized to C-QIP or usual care and followed for a median 15 months. Retention was high: 192/206 (93.2%) in C-QIP and 187/204 (91.7%) in usual care. - The C-QIP intervention combined **electronic decision support** for providers, non-physician care coordination, patient education, text-message reminders, and audit-feedback. - Primary endpoints assessed feasibility, fidelity, adoption, and acceptability; secondary endpoints included **guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT)** use, self-reported adherence, care processes, and risk factors. - Fidelity was high: 187/198 (94.4%) C-QIP participants received lifestyle counseling by study end. - C-QIP increased GDMT use for ischemic heart disease (58.3% vs 32.4%; RR 1.45, 95% CI 1.18–1.78) and ischemic stroke (76.7% vs 31.8%; RR 2.41, 95% CI 1.52–3.81) but not for heart failure. - Self-reported adherence improved with C-QIP for medications (90.9% vs 82.3%; RR 1.08, 95% CI 1.04–1.12), diet (91.9% vs 82.3%; RR 1.07, 95% CI 1.02–1.13), and physical activity (91.4% vs 70.4%; RR 1.23, 95% CI 1.16–1.30). - The design was pragmatic and feasible in routine outpatient settings; major limitations included individual randomization within shared clinics (risk of contamination), feasibility design without power for hard clinical outcomes, and limited subgroup analyses. - Authors conclude the multicomponent strategy was feasible, acceptable, and improved care processes; they recommend larger cluster-randomized hybrid trials to test effects on morbidity and mortality. - Trial registrations: NCT05196659 and CTRI/2022/04/041847. Data are stored at the Centre for Chronic Disease Control repository with restricted access; analysis code is publicly available on GitHub and archived on Zenodo. - Funding was provided by the Fogarty International Center (NIH) and related NIH awards; competing interests include disclosed patents and industry relationships for some senior authors.

We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and preliminary effect of a multicomponent, collaborative quality improvement (C-QIP) strategy among patients with CVD attending outpatient clinics in India. ### Methods and findings In this pragmatic feasibility randomized controlled trial, 410 adults with ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, or heart failure attending four public and private hospitals were randomized to C-QIP (electronic decision support for providers, non-physician care coordination, patient education, text-message reminders, and audit-feedback) or usual care. Primary outcomes were feasibility, fidelity, adoption, and acceptability; secondary outcomes included guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), self-reported adherence, care processes, and risk factors. At end of study (median follow-up 15 months), retention was 192/206 (93.2%) in C-QIP and 187/204 (91.7%) in usual care. Fidelity was high: 187/198 (94.4%) C-QIP participants received lifestyle counseling at end of study. C-QIP increased GDMT use for ischemic heart disease (58.3% versus 32.4%; relative risk [RR] 1.45, 95% CI [1.18, 1.78]) and ischemic stroke (76.7% versus 31.8%; RR 2.41, 95% CI [1.52, 3.81]), but not heart failure. Self-reported adherence was higher for medications (90.9% versus 82.3%; RR 1.08, 95% CI [1.04, 1.12]), diet (91.9% versus 82.3%; RR 1.07, 95% CI [1.02, 1.13]), and physical activity (91.4% versus 70.4%; RR 1.23, 95% CI [1.16, 1.30]). Limitations include feasibility design, individual randomization within shared clinics, and limited power for clinical outcomes and subgroup analysis. ### Conclusions The C-QIP trial demonstrated that a multicomponent strategy is feasible, acceptable, and improved chronic CVD care processes in India. Future large, confirmatory hybrid trials are needed to establish whether such quality improvement strategies can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. ### Trial Registrations [NCT05196659](https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05196659); CTRI/2022/04/041847 ## Author summary ### Why was this study done? * Many people living with heart disease, stroke, or heart failure do not consistently receive the long-term medicines and follow-up care known to prevent future cardiovascular events. * In India, outpatient care for chronic cardiovascular disease is often fragmented, and practical strategies are needed to help clinics deliver optimal guideline-based care. * We tested whether a multicomponent strategy combining care coordination, clinical decision support, patient reminders, education, and audit-feedback could be delivered in routine outpatient clinics to improve cardiovascular disease care in India. ### What did the researchers do and find? * We randomized 410 adults with ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, or heart failure at four hospitals in India to receive the C-QIP strategy or usual care. * The strategy was feasible and acceptable: more than 90% of participants completed the final study visit, and most patients and providers reported willingness to continue using the C-QIP strategy. * Compared with usual care, C-QIP improved use of recommended combination of cardiovascular preventive medicines for ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke, and improved self-reported adherence to medicines, diet, and physical activity. ### What do these findings mean? * A multicomponent quality-improvement strategy can be implemented into routine outpatient clinics in India and can improve cardiovascular care processes. * The study was not designed to prove effects on heart attacks, strokes, deaths, or long-term risk-factor control, so these results should be interpreted as feasibility and preliminary effectiveness findings. * Future larger studies should use cluster-randomized designs to reduce contamination between treatment groups and assess whether this approach improves clinical outcomes at scale. ## Figures ![Table 2](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.t002) ![Fig 3](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.g003) ![Fig 4](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.g004) ![Fig 1](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.g001) ![Table 1](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.t001) ![Fig 2](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.g002) ![Table 2](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.t002) ![Fig 3](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.g003) ![Fig 4](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.g004) ![Fig 1](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.g001) ![Table 1](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.t001) ![Fig 2](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/figure/image?size=inline&id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004932.g002) **Citation:** Singh K, Roy A, Kondal D, Nikhare K, Gandral M, Patil SG, et al.
