About this study

Official title: Association of Long-term Conditions With Survival Following Acute Myocardial Infarction in England and Wales

This study aims to determine the extent to which pre-existing long-term conditions are associated with survival following a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) using observational data from the UK's national heart attack register.

Read the detailed description

Using observational data from the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) of all hospitalisations for acute myocardial infarction in all acute hospitals in England and Wales, this study aims to determine the extent to which pre-existing long-term conditions are associated with survival following acute myocardial infarction. The study will include an investigation of individual long term conditions for patients with acute myocardial infarction, including chronic heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic renal failure or peripheral vascular disease as well as the combination of such conditions and their resulting impact on long term all-cause mortality (up to 8.4 years). In addition, an investigation of the association of receipt of guideline recommended care for acute myocardial infarction patients with pre-existing long term conditions will be made.

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

  • long term conditionsOther

    Long term conditions including diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, chronic heart failure, chronic renal failure, cerebrovascular disease or peripheral vascular disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients who died from any cause by the end of the study censoring period

    Death data was obtained from national death records from the Office for National Statistics

    Measured: 8.4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of patients who received guideline recommended therapy during the study period

    All guideline recommended therapies for acute myocardial infarction relevant to the duration of the study period (2003 to 2013) will be assessed.

    Measured: Any guideline therapy administered during the patients hospital admission for acute myocardial infarction, an average of 4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Marlous Hall.

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 24 May 2022. 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?

Number of patients who died from any cause by the end of the study censoring period (time frame: 8.4 years). 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 NCT03037255, 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 24 May 2022.
