About this study

This was a retrospective study using the Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). The study employed two study designs for different purposes as follows:

  • A cross-sectional analysis was conducted to explore the annual incidence trends.
  • A longitudinal cohort study was conducted to assess baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, long-term healthcare utilization, and cause-specific mortality among incident AMI patients.

In each part, the study was conducted for AMI, and separately for ST-segment elevation and non-ST- segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI and NSTEMI)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 11 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 3 Aug 2023. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Mean age of patients (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 30 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 3 Aug 2023.
