About this study

This study aims to investigate and evaluate clinical performance and quality measures for adults with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in China. Further more, the investigates like to develop quality improvement strategies and relevant tools focusing on treatment and clinical outcome in patients with STEMI. This is a annually survey , through consecutively recruiting all eligible inpatients and collecting relevant medical information, the performance of all participating hospitals. Further, quality improvement strategies including summary of clinical performance and quality measures, clinical pathways and team building will be organized for the purpose of quality improvement. All hospitals will consecutively recruit qualified patients in the same method adopted in baseline period. Then the reperfusion rates and other performance measures will be compared annually.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major concern in public health globally, as well as in China, and remarkable variations of resources available and health system performance have been noted. Acute myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity, both in rural and urban area.

This study aims to investigate and evaluate clinical performance and quality measures for adults with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in China. Further more, the investigates like to develop quality improvement strategies and relevant tools focusing on treatment and clinical outcome in patients with STEMI.

This is a annually survey , through consecutively recruiting all eligible inpatients and collecting relevant medical information, the performance of all participating hospitals. Demographic characteristics, clinical features, diagnostic tests, medications, procedures, and in-hospital outcomes of patients will be obtained and then, the treatment pattern and outcomes will be evaluated. Further, quality improvement strategies including summary of clinical performance and quality measures, clinical pathways and professional training will be organized for the purpose of quality improvement. All hospitals will consecutively recruit qualified patients in the same method adopted in baseline period. Then the reperfusion rates and other performance measures will be compared annually.

New knowledge will be generated about STEMI management in China, to improve STEMI patients prognosis in future.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Hongjian Wang (13910008985 ext. 13910008985, wanghongjianfw@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Aspirin at arrival (time frame: 24 hours after admission). The study lists 31 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 9 Oct 2019.
