Randomized Study of a Dematerialized Management for Post-Emergency Gynecological Follow-Up

The GYNAB study aims to compare patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes between dematerialized post-emergency gynecological follow-up using a connected health app and traditional in-person follow-up. Conducted by Drs. Laëtitia CAMPIN and Louis MARCELLIN at Hôpital Cochin, it is sponsored by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris. The main objective is to assess patient satisfaction at day 7 on a scale from 0 to 10, considering symptom management, follow-up quality, and task performance. Secondary objectives include comparing satisfaction at day 28, PROM-ED scores for symptom relief, understanding, reassurance, and care planning at days 7 and 28, hospitalization rates, unscheduled consultations, surgical interventions, total hospital time by day 28, and physician satisfaction at 28 days. This randomized trial involves women aged 18-60 needing follow-up for conditions like genital infections, non-complicated ectopic pregnancies, unlocated pregnancy, first trimester metrorrhagia, miscarriages , and severe vomiting before 12 weeks. Inclusion criteria are women aged 18-60 needing specified follow-up. Exclusion criteria are severe clinical intolerance, severe criteria ultrasound findings, non-French speakers, and inability to use digital applications. The intervention group uses a connected health app for data collection and communication, logging symptoms and test results, with medical team notifications for urgent updates. The control group receives traditional in-person follow-up with scheduled consultations and emergency contact information. The study hypothesizes that digital follow-up will improve patient experience, reduce hospital visits, and provide comparable or superior satisfaction and clinical outcomes. The results could promote broader digital health adoption in various medical fields.
