About this study

Official title: Long-term Clinical Outcomes, Cost-of-care, Clinical Characteristics, Re-admission Rates, Outpatient Care and Mortality in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease or Congestive Heart Failure in Singapore

The research project aims to perform data extraction, integration and analysis across multiple clinical, administrative, financial and pharmacy databases in the participating institutions. The key data components will include clinical cardiovascular specific data, procedural data, financial and administrative data (e.g. cost of medications and supplies, length of stay, diagnosis codes etc.), short-to-long term clinical outcomes (including hospital re-admissions, cardiovascular events, death), and quality-of-care indices (e.g. compliance to guideline-recommended therapy and medications). The research project will involve all patients proven and/or suspected with coronary artery disease (CAD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) admitted to National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) and NUH.

Read the detailed description

The research project is initiated by NHCS and its participating institutions include Ministry of Health (MOH), as well as National University Hospital (Singapore) Pte Ltd (NUH), Changi General Hospital (CGH), Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), Singapore General Hospital (SGH), Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) , SingHealth Polyclinics, National Healthcare Group Polyclinics (NHGP), Sengkang Hospital (SKH), National University Polyclinics (NUP), and Alexandra Hospital (AH).

The research project will leverage on the Health Data Grid (HDG) pilot project, now known as Business Research Analytics Insights Network (BRAIN). BRAIN will be a virtual repository that will enable access to anonymised and merged data from disparate databases at multiple institutions. The structures of BRAIN will preserve patients' privacy and confidentiality, ensure IT security and allow access only by authorised persons. The BRAIN pilot project will be co-funded by MOH and the Infocommunication Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA). To avoid doubt, after the BRAIN pilot project, a separate approval from the appropriate stakeholders will have to be sought for further funding of the operating costs of the BRAIN, regardless of whether the value of the BRAIN has been demonstrated during the BRAIN pilot project. There is no direct cost involved in the research project.

For the research project, MOH will contribute administrative data from the Registry of Births and Deaths, Casemix \& Subvention, the Mediclaim, and Omnibus databases, and the other participating institutions will contribute the data from the National Electronic Health Records (NEHR), Electronic Health Intelligence System (eHIntS) and Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) to BRAIN. Only anonymised data from BRAIN will be utilised for the research project.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Congestive Heart Failure, run by National Heart Centre Singapore at 13 sites in Singapore.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Singapore. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The primary outcome measure will be to assess the total number of patients who passed away due to any cause at the 1-year time point (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 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.

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 Mar 2020.
