About this study

Official title: Decision Variability Between Different Heart Teams for Complex Coronary Artery

The purposes of this study are 1) to explore the variability of decisions between different heart teams in complex coronary artery disease; 2) to evaluate the reasons of the discrepancy in decision making.

Read the detailed description

Heart team has been recommended by guideline for optimizing the decision making for patients with complex coronary artery diseases (CAD). However, prior studies have demonstrated that heart team decision might have poor reproducibility, and the variability of heart team decision remains unknown.

Thus, the investigators designed a single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study to explore the decision variability of heart team in CAD patients. The investigators will retrospectively recruit patients with angiographically confirmed 3-vessel or left main disease from a coronary angiography database at Fuwai hospital. Patients' baseline information will be collected. And different heart teams will be established and made decisions for the enrolled patients. First, the investigators will assess the decision variability between different heart teams. Secondary, the investigators will evaluate the reason of discrepancy by qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 17 Aug 2021. 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 China. 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?

Kappa value of decisions (time frame: at the end of enrollment (6 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2021.
