Trial summary

Because of increased life expectancy and improved therapeutic methods in cardiology, the proportion of very old patients with cardiovascular disease increases. However, clinical practice "in real life" are still insufficiently known in this population. Read more about this study

About this study

Because of increased life expectancy and improved therapeutic methods in cardiology, the proportion of very old patients with cardiovascular disease increases. However, clinical practice "in real life" are still insufficiently known in this population. The recommendations still lack of studies specifically devoted to elderly or very elderly, an extrapolation of data based on evidence obtained in younger populations.

This is a multicenter observational study during a day. On this day, all participating centers fill a questionnaire for each patient 80 years or older hospitalized in their service.

Read the detailed description

Information about the center will be collected: non-university or university center, presence of coronary angiography room, number of beds, number of patients 80 years or older hospitalized in the day of the investigation.

The questionnaire is designed to:

  • Know the history of cardiovascular and noncardiovascular patient and degree of dependence
  • Know the reason for hospitalization
  • Evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic already implemented or planned for this patient

The day of the survey, information on each patient 80 years or older hospitalized in the service will be collected:

  • Patient Data: date of birth, sex, status. The patient identification data (name, surname, address) will not be collected.
  • Patient History: date of last hospitalization, life, cardiovascular risk factors, cardiovascular and non cardiovascular history, date of last hospitalization, life
  • Circumstances of admission: course of care before admission, admission to intensive care unit or hospital unit classical primary diagnosis and diagnosis (s) partner (s)
  • Initial assessment: treatment admission, major hemodynamic, electrocardiographic and biological
  • Regarding the current hospitalization: diagnosis already implemented or planned (echocardiography, angiography, electrophysiological study, etc ...), therapeutic methods already implemented or planned angioplasty, percutaneous valve intervention, conventional or biventricular stimulation, cardiac surgery, medication
  • Become of the patient after hospitalization
  • The clinician's subjective impressions about the condition of the patient and monitoring recommendations
  • Assessment of addiction: ADL Scale

No monitoring of patients is contemplated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of patients for which national guidelines were followed

    Evaluate clinical practice and particularly the monitoring of recommendations of international scientific societies in the population of very elderly (≥ 80 years)

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of patients aged 80 and older hospitalized in the university and non university

    Better understand the demographics of cardiology services in France (Demography)

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by French Cardiology Society at 1 site in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. 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 7 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients for which national guidelines were followed (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01121679, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Aug 2019.
