About this study

Official title: Performance of a New Risk Score (SVEAT Index) to Identify Low-risk Patients Presenting to Emergency Department With Acute Chest Pain

This is a prospective, observational study to assess the efficacy of the newly developed SVEAT scoring system in identifying low-risk patients who may be eligible for early discharge. Various elements of clinical information including Symptoms, Vascular history, EKG, Age and Troponin values will be checked and entered on the scoring form to calculate the SVEAT risk score. Additionally, HEART score and TIMI risk score will be calculated for the same subjects.

The primary aim is to assess the positive and negative predictive values for the SVEAT index for cardiovascular events and compare it to the HEART and TIMI Scores.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, observational study in patients presenting to the emergency department or admitted to clinical decision unit at Renown Regional Medical Center with a primary complaint of chest pain in a period of 12 months.

All patient >24 years will be recruited. Exclusion criteria include patients with clear-cut acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, traumatic non-cardiac chest pain, life-expectancy less than 90 days, hemodynamic instability or inability to provide informed consent. Data and scores based on commonly known TIMI* risk score, HEART score and a newly developed SVEAT index ( Symptoms, Vascular disease, EKG, Age, Troponin) will be obtained by primary investigator trained physicians or advanced nurse practitioners as earliest as possible after their initial presentation. The care of the patients will be left to the discretion of the treating physician.

The outcome of each patient will be determined by either chart review, telephone contact or office visit as appropriate in 30 days post presentation. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of SVEAT index will be calculated using standard statistical analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of SVEAT index, TIMI risk score and HEART score will be generated and compared using commercially available software. P value of 0.05 or less will be considered statistically significant difference.

The primary hypothesis of the study is that scoring systems that better incorporate useful clinical information such as the SVEAT score may improve our ability to accurately identify low-risk acute chest pain patients presenting to the ED.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chest Pain, run by University of Nevada, Reno at 1 site in United States.

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 11 Oct 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 States. 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?

Occurence of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Events) (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT03511430, 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 11 Oct 2018.
