简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility and impact of implementing the ESC 0-1 hour high sensitive troponin pathway in clinical practice and with specific reference to the 0-3 hour pathway currently in use.
The principal outcome measure will be the safety of the 0-1 hour protocol (which is less established and has limited data on safety when implemented in clinical practice)
详细描述
-
the investigators propose to compare 2 'gold standard' NICE recommended/ESC guideline-backed pathways; the accelerated 0-1 hour troponin clinical pathway versus the conventional 0-3-hour pathway, in a randomised multicentre controlled study.
-
The primary outcome is to compare percentage safe (with the emphasis and sample size calculation on safety) discharge by 4 hours from presentation by means of the 0-3 hours versus the 0-1-hour (with the 0 hour in both pathways incorporating discharge using the limit of detection).
-
the investigators propose to use high sensitivity troponin T (hs cTnT) (ROCHE, Elecsys assay as this is currently in routine clinical use at the site) for this purpose and also perform comparative analyses using a high sensitivity troponin I (hs cTnI) assay (ABBOTT, Architect).
-
Redundant blood sample will also be used to evaluate point of care testing (POCT), with additional blood sample taken for POC. These samples will be undertaken as part of routine clinical care and will not require additional venepuncture (and will only be analysed if consent is gained for tissue use in research) population. A co-primary endpoint will be single sample rule-out by point of care troponin (POCT) (with a value of <4ng/l in those with chest pain onset >3 hours from presentation) as assessed in the recent APACE study of triage true POC.11 A comparison of this rule-out in terms of effectiveness (percentage discharge) and safety (sensitivity) will be made with ROCHE lod (<5ng/l)12 and the optimised rule-out of Abbott architect (HSTNI<5ng/l)13
2.2 Secondary objectives
- The relative performance of the Abbott Architect high sensitivity troponin I (hs TnI) , Quidel's TriageTrue and Siemens Attellica troponin I assay will also be assessed in terms of the primary and secondary endpoints by reference to high sensitivity troponin T (hs cTnT) with cut-points for Abbott hs-cTn I from the BACC study used for the 0-1-hour pathway.14
- The performance of the novel machine learning algorithm, the Myocardial Ischemic Injury Index (MI3, Abbott) will also be assessed retrospectively with regard to safety and efficacy. This sub study using fully anonymized data will be performed in association with coinvestigators from Abbott Diagnostics (appendix 1).
- To understand if low levels of Growth Differentiation Factor (GDF-15), could expand safe discharge beyond the LOD. This will be tested for retrospectively in stored plasma samples.
- To assess if point of care troponin samples at time points at 1 to 3 hours (additional samples) mirror gold standard high sensitive troponin analysis with respect to diagnosis of acute or chronic myocardial injury and/or type 1 or type 2 myocardial infarction.
- Hypothesis That an accelerated 0-1-hour troponin protocol, when implemented into clinical practice as a pragmatic RCT, will effect safe discharge with greater numbers discharged, by 4 hours from presentation, compared to the use of the more conventional 0-3 hour troponin protocol.

结局指标
主要结局
percentage safe discharge by 4 hours. safety defined as type 1 MI and CV deah
时间窗: 4 hours
We will compare safe discharge by each strategy (ie the ESC 0-1 hour pathway versus 0-3 pathway) and the proportion actually discharged by each pathway at 4 hours. The exact definition of safety will be percentage (of cohort randomised to each pathway) safely discharged by 4 hours of presentation to accident and emergency (Safety will be judged by type 1 myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death by 4 weeks with sensitivity \>98% - the study will be powered on safety to establish whether 0-1-hour performance is equivalent to 0-3-hour sampling by means of a non-inferiority analysis- see statistics). (Type 1 myocardial infarction is due to acute coronary atherothrombotic myocardial injury with either plaque rupture or erosion and, often, associated thrombosis. A separate analysis will also be undertaken with inclusion of type 2 MI as well as type 1 MI as an endpoint
