About this study

Official title: Health Outcomes of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Prescribed Ticagrelor in UK Primary Care: a Retrospective Cohort Study

Cohort study using data from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). The study cohort includes all patients who received at least one prescription for ticagrelor for the first time between December 2010 and March 2015, following ACS. Patient baseline characteristics will be described: (Age, Gender, Body Mass Index, Smoking status, Sociodemographic status), type of ACS and interventions, CV history and comorbidities, bleeding and respiratory history.

The following outcomes will be examined: Incidence of vascular events (composite MI, Stroke, vascular death, specific vascular event and all cause death), incidence of bleeding and incidence of dysponea. Time to event for vascular events, bleeding and dyspnoea.

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?

Incidence of composite outcome of myocardial infarction (MI), Stroke or death from vascular causes in patients treated with ticagrelor in primary care following Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) (time frame: From index date up to 12 months). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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.
