About this study

Official title: Risk and Clinical Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Cancer: A Nationwide Study

Using national health insurance service database, current study aim to evaluate the risk and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction in cancer patients and to find the optimal treatment strategy for acute myocardial infarction that can improve long-term prognosis.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted using Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Patients who were diagnosed with cancer from 2002 to 2021 will be included in the study. Using the selected patients, current study will analyze the incidence and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction in cancer patients and the prognosis according to the treatment method for acute myocardial infarction will be compared. Primary outcome will be all-cause death. Secondary outcomes will be myocardial infarction, revascularization, hospitalization for heart failure, stroke, and clinically relevant bleeding.

What is being measured

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

  1. All-cause death

    All-cause death which was obtained from death certification collected by Statistics Korea at the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of South Korea

    Measured: 2-years after diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Myocardial infarction

    Myocardial infarction is defined as presence of the diagnostic codes (ICD-10 I21, I22) in the primary position during hospitalization

    Measured: 2-years after diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

  2. Revascularization

    Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

    Measured: 2-years after diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

  3. Hospitalization for heart failure

    Heart failure events requiring hospitalization defined as presence of the diagnostic codes (I110, I130, I132, I255, I420, I425-I429, I43, I50, I971) in the primary position during hospitalization

    Measured: 2-years after diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

  4. Stroke

    Stroke is defined as ischemic stroke (ICD-10 I63, I64) or intracranial hemorrhage (ICD-10 I60-62), combined with the codes of diagnostic brain imaging.

    Measured: 2-years after diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

  5. Clinically relevant bleeding

    Bleeding requiring hospitalization or transfusion

    Measured: 2-years after diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cancer, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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.

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

All-cause death (time frame: 2-years after diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction). 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 14 Mar 2025.
