Preemptive Pharmacogenetic-guided Metoprolol Management for PostoperativeAtrial Fibrillation in Cardiac Surgery

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Post-operative Atrial Fibrillation
Interventions
Other: Guided Metoprolol Management
Registration Number
NCT03943927
Lead Sponsor
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Brief Summary

Metoprolol is frequently administered to cardiac surgery patients to reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF). Metoprolol is metabolized by the enzyme CYP2D6, which is known to have many mutations that could influence a patient's ability to metabolize the drug. In this prospective clinical trial, the investigators will determine the genotype of CYP2D6 for patients undergoing cardiac surgery, provide an altered dosing recommendation for metoprolol, then report the relative effectiveness in managing PoAF for each pharmacogenetic- guided dosing category. The investigators will also explore the effects of personalized metoprolol dosing recommendations on outcomes in hospital length of stay, cost, and provider participation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillationFrom the end of anesthesia up to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

Incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation measured with post-operative electrocardiogram or rhythm strip, or at least two of the following: documentation in the progress notes, nursing notes, discharge summary, and change in medication.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of clinical decision support tool recommendations that were acknowledged but ignored by the provider.From end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days
Overall cost of treatmentFrom end of surgery to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days
Cost of interventions to control or treat post-operative atrial fibrillationFrom end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days
Incidence of adverse drug eventsFrom end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days
Proportion of clinical decision support tool recommendations that were acknowledged and accepted by providerFrom end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days
Length of hospital stayFrom end of surgery to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

Length of hospital stay (in days) after surgery

Rate of genome tailored prescription changesFrom the end of anesthesia up to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

Rate of genome tailored prescription changes as measured by the proportion of patients in whom metoprolol prescription is based on CYP2D6 metabolizer status.

Reasons for non-adherence to recommendationsFrom end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

Reasons for non-adherence to recommendations; prepopulated choices including 1. clinically inappropriate recommendation 2. provider preference 3. Other (free text option).
