About this study

To conduct a series of five inter-related studies on acute cardiac ischemia (ACI) in women.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Acute cardiac ischemia (ACI), including acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina pectoris, is the leading cause of death in women in the US. Despite growing interest in ischemic (coronary) cardiac disease in women, little research has focused on women in the most common site of ACI initial evaluation and care: the emergency department (ED). Improving medical care quality and outcomes for ACI in women will require an understanding of gender's influence on initial ED presentation, diagnosis, triage, treatment, and outcomes.The detail of prospectively-collected data and number of patients available for this project with the resulting large statistical power (while savings the cost of the $1.8 million ACI-TIPI Trial data collection effort) and the experience of the CCHSR in over a decade of related studies of factors influencing the triage, treatment, and outcome of ED patients with ACI, provide this project with substantial promise of new and useful results.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The five studies included. STUDY I: Were women's emergency department (ED) presentations of ACI different from men's? STUDY II: Were there differences between women and men in the ED diagnosis and triage of patients with chest pain and other symptoms suggestive of ACI? STUDY III: Were there differences between women and men in the use of non-invasive and invasive treatments among patients presenting to the ED with ACI? STUDY IV: Were there significant differences between women and men in medical outcomes during the acute event and within 30 days following ED presentation with ACI? STUDY V: Had differences between women and men in their ED presentation, diagnosis, and/or triage for chest pain or other symptoms compatible with ACI changed over the past 10-15 years? In studying the impact of gender, these studies also included analyses for primary and interaction effects related to patient sociodemographic features, ED presenting clinical features, physician type and training, hospital type and ED setting, health insurance type, and include adjustments for patients' probabilities of having ACI as well as their likelihood of acute cardiac mortality.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Diseases and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005701, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2016.
