Abstrakt: | Introduction: Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder of lipid metabolism and a preventable cause of premature cardiovascular disease. Current detection rates for this highly treatable condition are low. Early detection and management of FH can significantly reduce cardiac morbidity and mortality. This study aims to implement a primary-tertiary shared care model to improve detection rates for FH. The primary objective is to evaluate the implementation of a shared care model and support package for genetic testing of FH. This protocol describes the design and methods used to evaluate the implementation of the shared care model and support package to improve the detection of FH. Methods and Analysis: This mixed methods pre-post implementation study design will be used to evaluate increased detection rates for FH in the tertiary and primary care setting. The primary-tertiary shared care model will be implemented at NSW Health Pathology and Sydney Local Health District in NSW, Australia, over a 12-month period. Implementation of the shared care model will be evaluated using a modification of the implementation outcome taxonomy and will focus on the acceptability, evidence of delivery, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, implementation cost and timely initiation of the intervention. Quantitative pre-post and qualitative semistructured interview data will be collected. It is anticipated that data relating to at least 62 index patients will be collected over this period and a similar number obtained for the historical group for the quantitative data. We anticipate conducting approximately 20 interviews for the qualitative data. Ethics and Dissemination: Ethical approval has been granted by the ethics review committee (Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Zone) of the Sydney Local Health District (Protocol ID: X23-0239). Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and an end-of-study research report to stakeholders. Competing Interests: Competing interests: DS has received grants from Regeneron, Amgen, Arrowhead, Ionis and Novartis via Sydney Local Health District; consulting fees and speaker fees from Amgen and Novartis; and drug samples for a treatment adherence programme from Sanofi. CMH has received Amgen, Sanofi and MRFF grants looking at FH identification in the general practice setting, and assisted in the Amgen-funded independent education design for the GP. MNS is supported by an NHMRC Investigator Grant and received honoraria related to consulting, research and/or speaker activities from Amgen. (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.
