About this study

Official title: Predictive Criteria of Acute Heart Failure (AHF) in Patients Admitted to Emergency Department for Dyspnea.

No studies have analyzed the predictive value of different anamnestic and clinical signs for the diagnosis of acute heart failure (AHF) in patients admitted to emergency department. That's why the expert group of the AHF of South West of France mobilizes to conduct this study to evaluate the diagnostic predictive value of different anamnestic and clinical signs for the diagnosis of AHF to emergencies.

Read the detailed description

There is no recommendation of the French Society of Emergency Medicine (SFMU) on the management of the acute heart failure in the emergency department.

The present study hypothesizes that identifying anamnestic and clinical criteria of AHF in patients admitted to emergency department for acute dyspnea would optimize the management of these patients upon arrival to the emergency department and to implement rapidly the appropriate therapeutic strategies.

All patients admitted for dyspnea will be enrolled by the emergency physicians (after verification of inclusion and exclusion criteria) in the 3 participating centers.

Then, all files will be analyzed retrospectively from information collected by a committee of experts cardiologists and emergency physicians of each center.

The primary objective is the evaluation of diagnostic predictive value of different anamnestic and clinical signs for the diagnosis of AHF in emergency department for the construction of a clinical prediction score of acute heart failure. The secondary objective is the description of the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients admitted to the emergency for acute dyspnea.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 3 sites 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 2 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 28 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

diagnosis of AHF after expertise (time frame: 12 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 NCT02835963, 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 28 Jan 2022.
