About this study

Official title: Safety and Cost Effectiveness of Same Day Discharge After Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Implant Versus Next Day Discharge

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to send patients home from the hospital on the same day following an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implant.

Read the detailed description

SDD for ICD is a prospective, randomized, multi-center study designed to show that SDD is safe in a defined patient population receiving an ICD implant and that this approach can be more cost effective for the hospital than the current NDD approach. Safety is to be demonstrated by showing that postoperative complications do not occur at a higher rate in the SDD group of patients when compared to the NDD group. Cost effectiveness is to be demonstrated by comparing health care utilization between the SDD and NDD groups for the first week post implantation. Patients who were implanted with a St. Jude Medical single or dual chamber ICD for primary prevention and who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria may be enrolled in the study. Patients areconsidered enrolled at the point of randomization.

Randomization is assigned in a 1:1 ratio between the NDD group and the SDD group. Patients will undergo study evaluations after implant, pre-discharge, 1-week and 6 months post implant.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Same Day DischargeOther

    Patients will send device data remotely to their physician on the day of discharge from the hospital and again 24 hours after discharge from the hospital.

Study groups in NCT01993862
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Next Day DischargeNo interventionThe patient will have a 23 hour standard of care observational stay in the hospital after an implantable cardioverter defibrillator implant procedure.
Same Day DischargeActive comparatorThe patient will be discharged from the hospital the same evening after an implantable cardioverter defibrillator implant procedure. Follow up after surgery will be done via remote device follow up (1) on the day of discharge and (2) 24 hours after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Same Day Discharge in people with Heart Failure and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 28 sites 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 4 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites 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. 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?

Complication rate at 1 week after an implantable cardioverter defibrillator implant (time frame: 1 week). 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 4 Feb 2019.
