Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Stroke patients, to adapt to the recent change in the typology of new ischemic stroke in Western Europe, which for the most part are transient (30%) or minor ischemic strokes (35%). %). The profile of these patients is indeed compatible with outpatient care which should lead to the adaptation of the offer of care.

Who may be able to join

  • Hospitalization in the TIA clinic in Toulouse Hospital (a day clinic)
  • Having presented within the previous 7 days a transient ischemic attack or a minor stroke
  • Affiliated to a social protection system
  • To have given no opposition to participation in the study

Who cannot join

  • Patients with a transient ischemic attack - mimic (such as migraine or seizure)
  • Patients under protection of justice
  • Pregnant and / or breastfeeding woman

About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study on the Medical and Economic Consequences of an Ambulatory Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke Management

The effectiveness of outpatient management of minor TIAs and strokes in the context of a dedicated outpatient pathway with specialized care has been demonstrated and has resulted in an 80% decrease in stroke in the year followed the AIT (EXPRESS and SOS-TIA studies) At the same time, few studies have been conducted on their economic interest and none in France.

Patient's typology (younger patient, no sequel, no disability) with Transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke (MS) makes them compatible with ambulatory management.

Read the detailed description

Only two hospitals in France can take care patients with TIA or MS in an outpatient setting :Bichat hospital in Paris and Toulouse University Hospital. The effectiveness of this management has been demonstrated since recurrence stroke risk is reduced by 80% at one year. An English study (EXPRESS study) [2] showed a gain of 624 pounds with an ambulatory management compared to a conventional one. No studies are available in France on this subject.

The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of a collection of medical and economic data on a prospective way. The investigators collect medical (Cerebrovascular events, Stroke) and economic (direct and indirect costs) data concerning patients who were managed in TIA clinic in Toulouse Hospital. The medical data will be compiled with available French and International literature. The economic data will be compiled with available data in PMSI and health insurance database. This study aims to prepare a multicenter cohort to compare the cost effectiveness ratio between ambulatory and conventional management.

What is being measured

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

  1. The average cost-effectiveness ratio at 3 month

    The average cost-effectiveness ratio at 3 month where the effectiveness is the 3-month cerebro vascular event rate and the costs taken into account are medical and non-medical direct costs and indirect costs limited to work stoppages.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of full cost collection

    Percentage of patients for whom total direct medical, direct non-medical, and indirect costs could be collected by comparing with health insurance data

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Concordance between monitoring data collected in different database

    Concordance between prospectively collected monitoring data, supplemented by data from the PMSI database of Toulouse University Hospital and data extracted from the health insurance database via NIR.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Recurrence rate of cerebro and cardiovascular events at 7 days

    Recurrence rate of cerebro and cardiovascular events at 7 days : Stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular death within 30 days of stroke or MI

    Measured: 7 days

  4. Recurrence rate of cerebro and cardiovascular events at 3 months

    Recurrence rate of cerebro and cardiovascular events at 3 months : Stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular death within 30 days of stroke or MI

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Recurrence rate of cerebro and cardiovascular events at one year

    Recurrence rate of cerebro and cardiovascular events at one year : Stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular death within 30 days of stroke or MI

    Measured: one year

  6. Average cost-effectiveness ratio at one year

    The average cost - effectiveness ratio with the criterion of effectiveness the recurrence rate for cardiovascular events at one year (stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular death occurring within 30 days after a stroke or an IDM), and as cost criteria, direct medical and non-medical costs and indirect costs limited to work stoppages

    Measured: one year

  7. Percentage of patients treated in TIA clinic who had first medical contact with a senior

    Percentage of patients attending the AIT Clinic who had first medical contact with a senior neurology

    Measured: 1 day

  8. Percentage of patients with statin prescription at discharge

    Percentage of patients with statin prescription at discharge

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transient Ischemic Attack, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

The average cost-effectiveness ratio at 3 month (time frame: 3 months). 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?
