Trial summary

Standards Echocardiographic have been defined mainly on caucasian or Asian populations. In the EchoNoRMAL study the criteria for African populations were based solely on data from 198 subjects. This study suggests the presence of different standards depending on the ethnic origin of the subjects. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Echocardiographic Standards and Sub-Saharian Africans (SSA) Migrants' in New Aquitaine Region: NEMANA

Standards Echocardiographic have been defined mainly on caucasian or Asian populations. In the EchoNoRMAL study the criteria for African populations were based solely on data from 198 subjects. This study suggests the presence of different standards depending on the ethnic origin of the subjects. The aims of this study is to describe the proportion of subjects reclassified (normal-pathological) according to the use of echocardiographic norm differences showed in TAHES population (Sub Saharian Africans) with those routinely used

Read the detailed description

Sub-Saharian Africans populations seem to be more vulnerable in the field of health in general and in cardiovascular pathologies in particular.

  • The echocardiographic standards were mainly defined for Caucasian or Asian populations (EchoNoRMAL col. 2014 and 2015). In the EchoNoRMAL study, the criteria for the African populations were based on a reduced workforce (data from 198 subjects).
  • This study suggests the presence of different standards depending on the ethnic origin of the subjects. The authors noted that the establishment of references according to the ethnic origin of the subjects is necessary and highlighted the need for additional study for the underrepresented groups, in particular those including subjects of African origin.

The need for different ECG standards in African subjects, was confirmed in a study in the general African population (TAHES), represents 16% of immigrants in 2015 (INSEE According to reports from the health insurance funds, the migrant population,

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of subjects reclassified (from pathological to normal) according to the echocardiographic standard used (reference standard vs. TAHES standard).

    Compare the echocardiography standards previously established in TAHES study to those used routinely managed for the population of SSA migrants in la region New Aquitaine, in order to define pathological subjects

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Describe the reasons of reclassification, based on the change of echocardiography standards use for the following criteria: left ventricular hypertrophy, left atrial dilatation, aortic dilatation, ascending, right ventricular dilatation

    Identification and analyse the number of subjects requalified from pathological to normal) and identify reasons of the reclassifications after the use of the standards

    Measured: 18 months

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Echocardiography measures on SSA participants in people with Diagnosis, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 29 Apr 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 France. 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.

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

Contact Philippe Lacroix, Professor (0033555056391, philippe.lacroix@unilim.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of subjects reclassified (from pathological to normal) according to the echocardiographic standard used (reference standard vs. TAHES standard). (time frame: 18 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.
