About this study

Official title: Impact of Short-term Air Pollution Exposure on Acute Coronary Syndrome in Two Cohorts of Industrial and Non-industrial Areas: A Time Series Regression With 6,000,000 Person-years of Follow-up (ACS - Air Pollution Study)

Background: There is a lack of data on the effect of air pollution on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in industrial and non-industrial areas.

Objectives: A comparison of association of air pollution exposure with ACS in two cohorts of industrially different areas.

Materials and methods: The study covered 6,000,000 person-years of follow-up and five types of air pollution between 2008 and 2017. A time series regression analysis with 7-lag was used to assess the effects air pollution on ACS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Air Pollution, run by Medical University of Silesia at 2 sites in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Poland. 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?

Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (time frame: 7 days). The study lists 2 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 7 Sep 2020.
