Key requirements

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 study population is derived from the Florida-Puerto Rico Stroke Registry to Reduce Stroke Disparities. In-hospital acute stroke performance measures are documented and obtained through the American Heart Association (AHA) Get With The Guidelines-Stroke (GWTG-S) premier hospital quality improvement program and GWTG-S data collection instruments. Through the GWTG-S data, the Registry currently has close to 169,000 patients enrolled since 2010.

Who may be able to join

  • age is 18 and older
  • primary diagnosis of ischemic stroke
  • enrolled in the Florida - Puerto Rico Stroke Registry

Who cannot join

  • primary diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage
  • diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage
  • stroke not otherwise specified
  • no stroke related diagnosis
  • admission for elective carotid intervention only

About this study

Official title: Disparities in Stroke Outcomes and Care Delivery in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: FLorida Puerto Rico Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Study (FLiPER-AF)

In this study, FL-PR Stroke Registry will be used to determine novel data on disparities in stroke care and outcomes for patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in 'real life' hospital setting. Investigators will evaluate clinical practice for AF detection and treatment in stroke patients within large stroke hospital systems of care with multi-ethnic patient populations and thereby representative of the states of Florida and Puerto Rico. The results of this study will be of critical importance for secondary stroke prevention by identifying gaps in stroke care for patients with AF and by recognizing the needs for developing targeted interventions to reduce disparities in diverse populations of stroke patients with AF and improve systems of care for all stroke patients with AF.

What is being measured

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

  1. In-Hospital Quality of Care Acute Stroke Measures

    As measured by modified rankin score (mRS) at discharge (a score that measures the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke). A minimum score of 0 indicates no symptoms and therefore no disability. A maximum score of 6 indicates death has resulted

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Temporal trends of atrial fibrillation for stroke outcomes

    Changes in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its effect on related hospital discharge characteristics among stroke patients

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Temporal trends in the frequency of hospital prescriptions at discharge of anticoagulants for stroke patients

    Changes over the years measured through the quantification of the frequency hospitals prescribe anticoagulants (i.e., aspirin, warfarin, and novel oral anticoagulants) at discharge

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Temporal trends in the frequency of hospital prescriptions for atrial fibrillation monitoring devices

    Changes over the years measured through the quantification of the frequency hospitals prescribe atrial fibrillation monitoring devices (i.e., Holter monitoring and prolonged electrocardiogram monitoring).

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation, run by University of Miami at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 3 Feb 2021. 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 United States. 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?

In-Hospital Quality of Care Acute Stroke Measures (time frame: 5 years). 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 NCT03627806, 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 3 Feb 2021.
