About this study

Official title: Evaluate the Predictive Impact of the Meessi MEESSI Score for the Risk Stratification of Patients Admitted for Acute Heart Failure in Emergency Department

Our primary purpose is to assess MEESSI score in predicting mortality and readmission of patients managed for acute heart failure (AHF) in Emergency Department.

European Society of Cardiology recommend risk stratification for patients with AHF.

Read the detailed description

Improved risk stratification of acute heart failure (AHF) in the emergency department (ED) may help physicians' decisions regarding patient admission or early discharge disposition. The MEESSI-AHF (Multiple Estimation of risk based on the Emergency department Spanish Score In patients with AHF) score was developed to predict 30-day mortality in patients presenting with AHF EDs in Spain. Whether it performs well in other countries is unknown.

The MEESSI-AHF risk model includes 13 variables readily available on arrival to Emergency Department. The 40% of patients classified as LOW RISK (30-day mortality: <2%) should be considered as potential candidates to be early discharged from Emergency Department without admission after adequate response to initial treatment. The 10% of patients classified as VERY HIGH RISK (30-day mortality: >2%) may clearly benefit from hospital admission.

Objective: To externally validate the MEESSI-AHF score in another country.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MEESSI scoreDiagnostic test

    The score aimed to predict the AHF patient's future in the month following management for ED

What is being measured

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

  1. MEESSI score

    predict the AHF patient's future in the month following management in ED with The MEESSI (Multiple Estimation of risk based on the Emergency department Spanish Score In patients with AHF).The MEESSI-AHF risk model includes 13 variables readily available on arrival to Emergency Department. The 40% of patients classified as LOW RISK (30-day mortality: <2%) should be considered as potential candidates to be early discharged from Emergency Department without admission after adequate response to initial treatment. The 10% of patients classified as VERY HIGH RISK (30-day mortality: >2%) may clearly benefit from hospital admission.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Re-admission rate [ Time Frame: 30 days ]

    30-day re-admission rate compared between the 4 risk categories defined by the MEESSI score

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Mortality rate [ Time Frame: 30 days ]

    Mortality rate at 30 days compared between the 4 risk categories defined by the MEESSI score

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Sensitivity [ Time Frame: 30 days ]

    Sensitivity, specificity and ROC curve of the MEESSI score in relation to the composite criterion according to the 4 risk categories

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Emergencies and Heart Diseases, run by University of Monastir at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 16 May 2023. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Semir Nouira, Professor (7310600 ext. 216, semir.nouira@rns.tn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MEESSI score (time frame: 30 days). 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 16 May 2023.
