About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of Aggressive Process of Care Quality Improvement Intervention to Decrease Door to Balloon Time in Primary PCI for Acute Myocardial Infarction

The primary objective of this study is to assess whether an aggressive quality improvement intervention strategy will decrease time from hospital presentation to first balloon inflation in non-transfer patients with acute ST segment elevation MI (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Twelve hospitals in Michigan were randomized to either aggressive intervention or control. The intervention consisted of Grand Rounds at each hospital, sharing of best practices, and coordinating center staff working closely with staff at each intervention hospital to discuss solutions to barriers to rapid treatment for STEMI patients.

Read the detailed description

The participating hospitals randomized to the aggressive intervention strategy actively worked to create teams to analyze processes of care for STEMI patients, identify areas needing improvement, and implemented strategies to streamline treatment.

Hospitals randomized to control were instructed to conduct "business as usual".

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1: Aggressive Intervention StrategyExperimentalHospitals were randomized to an aggressive intervention strategy or to "business as usual". The hospitals randomized to the aggressive intervention strategy underwent the following: 1. Grand Rounds conducted by physician and nurse from the Coordinating Center. This included a formal presentation on the evidence supporting rapid time to treatment in STEMI patients and evidence based strategies for reducing treatment delays. 2. Discussion with staff regarding perceived barriers to treatment and suggestions/ideas for strategies to overcome these barriers 3. Follow-up monthly phone conferences to continue to discuss strategies and ideas sharing 4. Written plan from sites detailing plans to change processes of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Sites With Reduction in Door to Balloon Time

    Arrival time in Emergency Department to first balloon inflation in the coronary artery.

    Any reduction in median Door to Balloon Time from baseline to follow-up was counted as reduction in time

    Measured: Arrival to balloon inflation, measured in minutes (generally less than 120 mins)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non Intervention and Agressive Intervention Process Improvement Strategies in people with STEMI, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

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 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 15 Dec 2017. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Dec 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Sites With Reduction in Door to Balloon Time (time frame: Arrival to balloon inflation, measured in minutes (generally less than 120 mins)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 15 Dec 2017.
