Trial summary

Thoracic pain is the main symptom of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), urgent and serious illness. Whereas hospital mortality decreased until reaching 10%, out-of-hospital mortality remains high: half of the deaths occur during the first two hours. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Medical Telephone Triage of Emergency Calls for Thoracic Pain: Construction of a Probability Score for Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Thoracic pain is the main symptom of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), urgent and serious illness. Whereas hospital mortality decreased until reaching 10%, out-of-hospital mortality remains high: half of the deaths occur during the first two hours. The benefit of an early diagnosis of ACS in term of morbidity and mortality is well established. Identification of the coronary origin of a thoracic pain by the telephone triage physician of the pre-hospital emergency service (SAMU) leads to the sending of a physician staffed ambulance (UMH) and is thus a key element of the prognosis.

The aim of the study is to build a telephone predictive score of ACS at the triage of calls for non traumatic thoracic pain. The separate analysis of the questionnaires by sex will authorize the validation of a unique score or two distinct scores for men and women.

Read the detailed description

In France, approximately 30% of the calls for thoracic pain associated with an ACS do not benefit from the sending of an UMH. Our assumption is that this situation could be improved if telephone triage physicians were guided by recommendations or consensual algorithms of decision. The telephone triage doctor will manage a single questionnaire with the patient, with demographic and simple clinical data. The construction of the score will be done by the analysis of these data confronted with the final diagnosis (effective ACS or not). The effective existence of an ACS among patients with thoracic pain will be affirmed by an expert committee after collection of the intra-hospital patient's data and the follow-up at one month.

What is being measured

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

  1. diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

    The criterion selected to build these scores will be the effective existence of an ACS among included patients.

    Measured: one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 3 sites 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 29 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (time frame: one month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02042209, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Jul 2020.
