Trial summary

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. PCI, as a well-proved and booming measure in CHD management, is invasive and of high cost, however the knowledge about the real-life PCI use in China is limited. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The China PEACE (Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events) Prospective Study of Coronary Catheterization and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. PCI, as a well-proved and booming measure in CHD management, is invasive and of high cost, however the knowledge about the real-life PCI use in China is limited. Within a nation-wide and regional representative probability sample of hospitals in China, 14,000 CAG/PCI inpatient cases will be sampled randomly from 2001 to 2011. The sampled medical records will be reviewed and abstracted in the national coordinating centre, in order to evaluate the treatment pattern, outcomes, and cost for PCI, during the past decade. Basic data and innovative evidence will accelerate evidence-based clinical practice and policy making, and improve patients outcomes in future finally.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major concern in public health globally, as well as in China, and remarkable variations of resources available and health system performance have been noted. Relatively limited information is available about how evidence-based therapies are incorporated appropriately into routine clinical practice. In addition, little information is available about the magnitude and quality of PCI, which has developed rapidly during the past several decades. Practical and applied knowledge from large unselected population is needed to guide practice and policy for quality improvement and cost reduction.

To investigate the treatment pattern and outcomes of PCI during the past decade in China, using a stratified two-stage cluster sampling design, from 70 sampled hospitals, 7,000 CAG/PCI cases will be selected in 2011, and 3,500 in 2001 and 2006 separately. Photocopies of the 14,000 medical records of CAG/PCI cases will be sent to the national coordinating centre. Demographic characteristics, medical history, clinical features, diagnostic tests, medications, procedures, and in-hospital outcomes of patients will be abstracted by well trained professional abstractors. By characterizing differences in patients' features, comparing the use of medications and procedures, and examining the in-hospital outcomes, we'll define the gaps between clinical practice and guidelines, as well as the disparities across different regions and hospitals, to evaluated the treatment pattern and outcomes in the last decade in China. New knowledge will be generated about PCI management all over China, to provide evidence for policy-making and clinical guidelines, and to improve patients prognosis in future finally.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Heart Disease, run by China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 1 Jul 2014. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Severe complications after PCI (time frame: Duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 week). 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 NCT01624896, 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 1 Jul 2014.
