The web platform PREDIRCAM2 was designed in a project funded by Instituto Carlos Tercero de Madrid (FIS PI12/00931) at the Endocrinology and Nutrition Department of Santa Creu I Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona, and Centro de Tecnologia Biomedica, ETSI de Telecommunicacion at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain. V.A.-A. and A.L. have received scholarships from the Catalan administration (Departament d'Economia I Coneixement de la Generalitat de Catalunya, Fondo Social Europeo, AGAUR-FI-DGR). V.A.-A. received an award from Sociedad Espanola de Endocrinologia y Nutricion in alliance with MSD and the project received media resource collaboration from Roche Diabetes Care.

Resum

An ongoing clinical trial is testing the efficacy of web telematic support in a structured program for obesity treatment and diabetes prevention. Participants were recruited from two tertiary-care hospitals and randomized to receive either a telematic intervention (TI) supported by PREDIRCAM2 web platform or a non-telematic intervention (NTI). All receive 1-year follow-up. Both interventions consist of tailored dietary and exercise prescriptions, based on a Mediterranean dietary pattern and general WHO exercise recommendations for adults. At 6 months, both groups have received 7 contacts, 3 exclusively telematic for the TI group. This is a preliminary result intention-to-treat analysis. One hundred eighty-three participants were recruited, with a mean body mass index of 34.75 +/- 2.75kg/m(2). General dropout rate at 6 months was 26.8%. Weight changes were statistically significant at months 3 and 6 compared to baseline, -2.915 +/- 0.24kg, -3.29 +/- 0.36kg, respectively (P<0.001), but not statistically significant between the 3- and 6-month time points -0.37 +/- 0.21kg (P=0.24). Mean group differences showed that the TI group lost 1.61 +/- 1.88kg more than the NTI group (P=0.39). Waist, waist/hip ratio, resting heart rate, blood pressure, HbA1c, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol also showed statistically significant changes at 6 months, with no significant differences between groups. Weight loss in the TI group shows similar results as the usual care NTI group for weight loss and control of obesity comorbidities. At completion of the clinical trial, these results will be reevaluated to assess the potential role of web support in weight-loss maintenance and its cost-effectiveness.
