National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Cardiovascular Health Informatics Collaborative

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Cardiovascular Health Informatics Collaborative is an observational, multi-centre and longitudinal study of clinical data from collaborating hospitals. A dataset of the longitudinal record for patients who presented with a suspected acute coronary syndrome, characterised by the request of a troponin test, has been developed (NHIC-Troponin Study).

Detailed Description

The NHIC Cardiovascular Project in the United Kingdom was established to enable the sharing and repurposing of routinely captured clinical data for re-use in research. Data sharing for this study has been enabled by establishing a data sharing agreement between each of the collaborating hospitals. The data sharing agreement allows data to be shared between National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in accordance with an anonymisation and de-identification profile approved by each information governance department, ensuring that patient identities are protected. Ethics approval for each dataset has been obtained which detailed the further de-identification steps to ensure that research datasets are fully anonymised.

The cardiovascular theme clinical leads developed a standard target data model specification to capture the longitudinal record for patients who presented with a suspected acute coronary syndrome, characterised by the request of a troponin test (NHIC-Troponin Study). The data model was patient centric allowing for minor discrepancies between dataset areas such as missing discharges or test results returning outside of episodes of care. The model included 156 data points, grouped into demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, emergency department attendance and inpatient episodes, biochemistry, revascularisation and mortality. All patients were followed up on the NHS Spine Application, Summary Care Record until death or censoring on 1st April 2017.

This dataset comprised all patients who had a troponin measured at each of the five major academic centres between 2010 (2008 for University College Hospital) and 2017. The investigators identified a total of 257948 patient records who underwent troponin testing during the study period.

A Committee of Experts validates the protocol methodology and supervises the data management. A Steering Committee oversees study proposals including hypotheses, study design and statistical analyses including planned outcome measures.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
257948

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All patients with electronic records at collaborating hospitals.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All patients presenting to one of the collaborating hospitals.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Unselected cohort of patients who had a troponin measured
Patients who presented to hospital during the study period (2010-17) and had at least one troponin blood test measured.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mortality, All-cause
Time Frame: Hospital admission to 3 years follow-up
Number of patients who died (from any cause) including in-hospital, short-term and long-term mortality
Hospital admission to 3 years follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acute Revascularisation
Time Frame: 3 months follow-up
Acute revascularisation will be defined as having PCI or CABG in the time window between 48 hours before and 3 months after the first troponin measurement. This will account for patients who had revascularisation, in particular PCI, as an emergency prior to their first troponin blood test and to capture revascularisation, in particular CABG, performed as an outpatient following their index admission.
3 months follow-up

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2016

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Estimated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
