About this study

Official title: Age-Dependent Impact of the SYNTAX-score on Mortality After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in an All-Comer Population

The SYNTAX-score has been proposed as a tool for risk stratification and guiding revascularization therapy in patients with complex coronary artery disease.

There are limited data on the prognostic value of the SYNTAX-score among elderly patients.

Aim of this study was to investigate whether age modifies the impact of the SYNTAX-score on all-cause mortality at 2 years after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Read the detailed description

SYNTAX score has been used as a tool to quantify severity of coronary artery disease. Interventional or operative treatment of patients is associated with improvement in SYTAX score after PCI so called residual SYNTAX score. The higher the SYNTAX score value the higher is the mortality. Whereas this is true for both young and old patients is debatable. Therefore we aim to investigate in this registry age-dependent impact of baseline and residual SYNTAX score on 1- and 2-year mortality after PCI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and PCI, run by LMU Klinikum at 1 site in Germany.

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 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 9 Aug 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 Germany. 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?

Medium- to long-term Mortality (time frame: 2 years). 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 9 Aug 2018.
