Trial summary

Framingham Risk Score (FRS) included age, gender, body mass index (BMI), cigarette smoking, blood pressure, total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Previously, Framingham cohort study and other study has confered patients with medium or high FRS had worse prognosis. Read more about this study

Study population: There were 3687 participants from multi-central departments with multiple classical Framingham risk factors atherosclerosis, including 1935 males and 1752 females whose age older than or equal to 18 years. All participants were followed up from November 2011 to June 2018. A total of hospitalized patients were consecutively enrolled from cardiology department and under treatment because of cardiovascular diseases .

About this study

Official title: Adding Ankle Brachial Index to Traditional Framingham Risks Can Improve All-cause Mortality and Cardiac Mortality Prediction in Medium and High Framingham Risk Score Patients: A China Prediction Model

Framingham Risk Score (FRS) included age, gender, body mass index (BMI), cigarette smoking, blood pressure, total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Previously, Framingham cohort study and other study has confered patients with medium or high FRS had worse prognosis. However, the score list was tending to over-estimate risk in medium FRS or under-estimate risk in high FRS patients . For this reason, ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines also recommend the use of additional markers to improve atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk assessment and medical decision making.

Meanwhile, the ABI, which was the ratio of systolic pressure at the ankle to that in the arm, was quick, easy and used to diagnosis and assess the severity of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the legs. Several research have shown its low value as an indicator of general atherosclerosis and independently risk associated with cardiovascular events in prospective studies . In addition, ABI aggressively modified risk factors and accelerated the adverse prognosis of ASCVD. However, whether FRS or ABI, were all related to participants and race. And, most studies were from western countries, lack of Asian date, especially aimed at risk prediction model research. Therefore, this research was aimed to validate incorporating ABI and relevant Framingham risk variables whether could improve prediction all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality in medium and high Framingham risk score (FRS) patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. All-Causes mortality and Cardiac mortality

    In this study, the Cardiac death was only cardiac event death. Medical records and death certificates of all patients who had an event were obtained and validated by cardiologist. Death was confirmed from hospital records or by contact with participants and their families. All materials were reviewed independently by five senior physicians of the cohort study to confirm the cause of death.

    Measured: from November 2011 to June 2018

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. New-onset Cardiovascular Events

    New-onset Cardiovascular events are composed of cardiac including non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and coronary revascularization procedures during follow-up time. Exclusion criteria were stale angina (>6 months), revascularization procedure for CAD ( >6 months) and myocardial infarction( >6 months).

    Measured: from November 2011 to June 2018

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ankle Brachial Index, run by Shanghai 10th People's Hospital.

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 0 inclusion and 2 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 12 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

All-Causes mortality and Cardiac mortality (time frame: from November 2011 to June 2018). 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 12 May 2021.
