简要总结
The goal of this clustered, diagnostic randomized controlled trial is to study a clinical decision rule including a high-sensitive troponin I point of care test in patients with chest pain in primary care.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Can unnecessary referrals to secondary care be reduced by the use of a clinical deci-sion rule in patients with new onset, non-traumatic chest pain in primary care? Compared to current daily practice.
- What is the accuracy (sensitivity, negative prediction value) of the clinical decision rule for excluding ACS and MACE at 6 weeks and 6 months?
详细描述
This clustered, diagnostic randomized controlled trial will included patients with acute chest pain consulting their general practitioner. Practices in the intervention group will use a clinical decision rule consisting of the Marburg Heart Score and a high-sensitive troponin I point of care test to exclude acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and decide upon referral. Practices in the control group will apply usual care following local guidelines.
An independent endpoint committee consisting of a cardiologist and general practitioner will adjudicate the final diagnosis. Primary endpoints are ACS and Major Adverse Cardiac Events. A delayed reference standard of 6 months will be used.
For high sensitive troponin I measurement, the Siemens Atellica VTLi immunoassay analyser is used.

结局指标
主要结局
Hospital referral rate for acute chest pain
时间窗: 6 weeks after inclusion
hospital referral rate for acute chest pain compared between intervention and control group
Diagnostic accuracy of the clinical decision rule
时间窗: 6 months after inclusion
Diagnostic accuracy (i.e. sensitivity, negative predictive value) for ACS and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) MACE is defined as a combined endpoint of ACS, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angiography revealing procedurally correctable stenosis managed conservatively and all-cause mortality.
Hospital referral rate for acute chest pain
时间窗: 24 hours after inclusion
hospital referral rate for acute chest pain compared between intervention and control group
Diagnostic accuracy of the clinical decision rule
时间窗: 24 hours after inclusion
Diagnostic accuracy (i.e. sensitivity, negative predictive value) for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). MACE is defined as a combined endpoint of ACS, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angiography revealing procedurally correctable stenosis managed conservatively and all-cause mortality.
Diagnostic accuracy of the clinical decision rule
时间窗: 6 weeks after inclusion
Diagnostic accuracy (i.e. sensitivity, negative predictive value) for ACS and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) MACE is defined as a combined endpoint of ACS, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angiography revealing procedurally correctable stenosis managed conservatively and all-cause mortality.
