About this study

Official title: Symptoms of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Medical Regulation: a Retrospective Study

The main objective was to analyze the impact of the gender of the attending physician in the differences in the management of ST+ ACS between men and women.

This study will be conducted in partnership with the interventional cardiology team of the CHR Metz-Thionville and SAMU (emergency call center) of Moselle, which has a detailed registry of coronary angiographies at the center. A retrospective observational study will be carried out over a "typical" period outside of covid at the CHR Metz Mercy (2021-2022) based on coronary angiographies performed in the context of ST+ ACS at the CHR of patients referred by the center 15.

The patient's medical record will be analyzed, going back to his call to the 15 via tape listening. The number of subjects required being calculated at 104 men and 104 women, these patients will be selected from the database of our cardiologist colleagues and we will match one man to one woman by comparing the delays of several items (1st medical contact, time of 1st ECG, medicalization or not, delay of call to the cardiologist, delay of coronary angiography...) according to the sex of the regulator. The consequences of a difference in management will be also evaluated by analyzing in-hospital mortality, mortality at 30 days of management, and functional sequelae at discharge (grades of dyspnea, disturbance of myocardial contractility, LVEF at discharge).

This study based on the differences in questioning according to the gender of the regulating physician would allow better identification of the factors that increase the delay in the management of ST+ ACS in women, and to find avenues of correction in order to limit the loss of opportunity for patients.

The patients included who are still alive will receive a notification of non-objection by mail.

What is being measured

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

  1. Delay between the call to the emergency center and the first contact with a physician

    Delay (minutes:seconds)

    Measured: End of the call to the emergency center, less than 10 min

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Delay between the call to the emergency center and the first electrocardiogram

    Delay (hours:minutes)

    Measured: At hospital discharge, an average of 2 hours

  2. Dispatch of a medical ambulance (Y/N)

    Number (%)

    Measured: End of the call to the emergency center, an average of 20 min

  3. Delay between the call to the emergency center and the first coronary angiography

    Delay (minutes)

    Measured: At hospital discharge, an average of 2 hours

  4. In-hospital mortality

    Number (%)

    Measured: 30 days after the call to emergency center

  5. Day 30 mortality

    Number (%)

    Measured: 30 days after the call to emergency center

  6. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

    Percentage

    Measured: At hospital discharge, less than 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 26 Dec 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 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.

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?

Delay between the call to the emergency center and the first contact with a physician (time frame: End of the call to the emergency center, less than 10 min). 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 26 Dec 2023.
