About this study

Official title: Enhancing the Diagnosis and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Newham by Integrated Use of Electronic Health Records

The investigators will develop a "risk report" within the primary care electronic health record (EMIS) for patients attending for their National Health Service Health Check. The value of the report for reducing cardiovascular risk will be assessed qualitatively and also quantitatively in a non-randomised comparative trial.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will design a template within the primary care electronic health record (EMIS) that draws on Health Check data to provide a contemporary "risk report". Included in the report will be clear description of life-time cardiovascular risks, the factors driving those risks and how risk might be reduced through life-style and risk factor modification. The investigators will evaluate the benefits of providing patients with a risk report qualitatively by patient and clinician interviews. Quantitative analysis of the benefit of the risk report will be provided by a non-randomised comparative trial. First, a group of patients undergoing a conventional Health Check will be recalled after three months for a second Health Check, allowing measurement of the change in "Heart Age" - a convenient index of life-time cardiovascular risk. Following introduction of the risk report the investigators will recall a further group of patients for a second Health Check, allowing measurement of the change in "Heart Age". The effect of the risk report will be determined by comparing the change in Heart Age between the two groups of patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Heart Age

    Change in Heart Age between 1st Health Check and 2nd Health Check three months later

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Changes in smoking status

    Changes in smoking status (number smoked per day) by direct patient enquiry between 1st Health Check and 2nd Health Check three months later.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Change in total cholesterol

    Changes in total blood cholesterol (mmol/L) by serum sampling between 1st Health Check and 2nd Health Check three months later.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Change in systolic blood pressure

    Change in systolic blood pressure (mmHg) by direct measurement using an inflatable cuff between 1st Health Check and 2nd Health Check three months later.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Change in body mass index

    Change in body mass index by measurement of height and weight between 1st Health Check and 2nd Health Check three months later.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Enhanced Health Check in people with Cardiovascular Disease, run by Queen Mary University of London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 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 6 Mar 2018. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Change in Heart Age (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT02486913, 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 6 Mar 2018.
