Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The clinical study will be conducted in Region Örebro County. Recruitment will start October 1st 2017 and is expected to continue for two influenza seasons until April 30, 2019. Individuals for inclusion are recruited among adult patients > 18 years presenting with influenza-like illness at the emergency unit and who, due to strong clinical suspicion of ongoing influenza infection, are tested.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients (>18 years) presenting with influenza-like illness.
  • Written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Inability to provide informed consent.
  • Age <18 years.
  • Symptoms indicating an acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, rapid atrial fibrillation or acute stroke.

About this study

Official title: Prevalence and Prognostic Implications of Cardiac Injury in Patients With Influenza-like Illness

This study investigate the prevalence of elevated biomarkers of cardiac injury in patients with suspected influenza infection and the prognostic implication on the composite endpoint of death of any cause, hospitalization due to myocardial infarction, unstable angina, heart failure and stroke.

Read the detailed description

The relationship between influenza and cardiovascular events was described in an early study of influenza epidemics from 1915 to 1929 including the 1918-1920 pandemic. Retrospective studies have shown increased risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during the first week following an infection with influenza.

Biochemical markers of cardiac injury such as high sensitive cardiac troponins may be increased during infection with influenza. Increased levels of cardiac troponins are associated with adverse outcome in many different populations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of biochemical markers

    Level of cardiac troponin in patients with influenza The level of hs-cTn, NT-proBNP and hs-CRP at inclusion in patients with and patientes without influenza.

    Measured: One year

  2. Level of biochemical markers

    Level of other biochemical markers in patients with influenza

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Prognostic implication

    Time to all-cause death

    Measured: One year

  2. Prognostic implication

    Time to admission for myocardial infarction

    Measured: One year

  3. Prognostic implication

    Time to admission for unstable angina

    Measured: One year

  4. Prognostic implication

    Time to admission for heart failure

    Measured: One year

  5. Prognostic implication

    Time to admission for stroke

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza, Human and Myocardial Injury, run by Örebro University, Sweden at 1 site in Sweden.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Level of biochemical markers (time frame: One year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Sep 2022.
