About this study

Official title: Incidence Study on Acute Coronary Disease With ST Segment Elevation (CAD ST +) in the Emergency Room (InSyCo ST + Study)

Cardiovascular disease, and in particular ischemic heart disease, is the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide today (1). Myocardial infarction (MI) presents the most serious clinical entity through its short-term life threatening involvement.

The many advances in the management of IDM during the acute phase, namely the increasingly frequent and effective use of reperfusion means (angioplasty and thrombolysis) as well as pharmacological progress, in particular, the management of anti-thrombotic treatment has enabled a significant reduction in intra-hospital mortality, in the medium and long term (2). In fact, the mortality rate dropped from 25-30% before the creation of the cardiac intensive care units (ICUS) around the 1960s, to around 16% in the 1980s and reaching 4 to 6% today. In the latest data from the French FAST MI 2015 register (French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation or Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction) mortality was 2.8% in hospital (3) and 5.3% at 6 months (4). Nevertheless, mortality rates diverge from one register to another and are generally higher compared to randomized controlled clinical trials.

In our country, due to the aging of the Tunisian population (currently the oldest population in Africa), as well as the rise in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (5), the incidence of IDM is clearly increasing. However, our local specificities concerning the management of this pathology and the intra-hospital mortality which results from it, remain little described despite the importance of these data in the development of personalized algorithms and the improvement of the quality of this support.

the management of CAD ST + in the public sector poses more and more efficiency problems and moves away from international recommendations in our country, an assessment of our national situation is necessary.

The objectives of the study are, primary, the incidence of new cases that consult the emergency room for CAD ST + and the treatment delivered to the emergency room, in particular the nature of the treatment for obstruction (primary angioplasty or thrombolysis). Secondary, the evaluation of hospital complications and the future of patients on D30 and after one year from the inclusion's day.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 27 Jul 2020. 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 Tunisia. 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?

MORTALITY (time frame: one month). 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 NCT04487509, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Jul 2020.
