About this study

The aim of the study is to evaluate the interest and the workability of ECG teletranmission in EHPAD in Île-de-France. ECG for the elderly is beneficial to detect or monitor cardiovascular disease.

Read the detailed description

Main objectives :

  • Evaluate the workability of ECG uploaded by a caregiver who was trained before
  • Evaluate the prevalence of ECG anomalies highlighted thanks to the realisation of an uploaded ECG (supraventricular and ventricular rhythm disorder and coronary pathology)

Secondaries objectives :

  • Evaluate the prevalence of unknown ECG anomalies and thus determine the number of new diagnostics highlighted thanks to uploaded ECG
  • Evaluate the prevalence of ECG iatrogenic anomalies

The study is observational, multicentre and prospective. It is going to include 3211 elderly living in EHPAD in Île-de-France. 150 EHPAD or involved in the study, they are split in two groups : 100 EHPAD will receive ECG and 50 EHPAD will not. This last group will enable to lead a comparative analysis, only global data about death will be collected.

The study will last 36 months with 12 months of participation for each resident.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT04357405
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental armThis group consists of 100 EHPAD which will benefit from ECG teletransmission. all data will be collected
Control armThis arm consists of 50 EHPAD that have not benefited from ECG teletransmission. Only the global death occurrence data will be analyzed, no individual data will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of teletransmetted electrocardiogram (ECG) feasability (number of ECGs interpretable)

    An interpretable ECG is defined by an absence of parasite, a stable baseline, an absence of argument of a malposition of electrodes, an unwinding paper speed: 25 mm / sec, a calibration of the amplitude

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Assessment of prevalence of anomalies highlighted by performing an electrocardiogram.

    The prevalence of anomalies highlighted by performing an electrocardiogram: supra-ventricular rhythm disorders, ventricular rhythm disorder and coronary pathologies.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assessment of commorbidity risk and life expectancy according Charlson score.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Assessment of prevalence of unknown and iatrogenic anomalies according to the electrocardiogram

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Pathology and Residents of Retirement Home (EHPAD), run by Gérond'if at 1 site 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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study halted prematurely and will not resume; participants are no longer being examined or receiving intervention). 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?

Assessment of teletransmetted electrocardiogram (ECG) feasability (number of ECGs interpretable) (time frame: 12 months). 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 29 Sep 2022.
