Diagnostic Performance of Noninvasive Fractional Flow Reserve From Computed Tomography (PERFECT)

December 10, 2012 updated by: Ya-Wei Xu, Shanghai 10th People's Hospital

Individual-Patient-Data Pooled-Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy of Noninvasive Fractional Flow Reserve From Anatomic CT Angiography

Fractional Flow Reserve derived from computed tomography(FFRCT) is a novel method for determining the physiologic significance of coronary artery disease (CAD), which will help physicians in clinical decision-making and decrease the medical cost, but its ability to identify patients with ischemia has not been adequately examined to date.

Detailed Description

Fractional Flow Reserve derived from computed tomography(FFRCT) is a novel method for determining the physiologic significance of coronary artery disease (CAD), which will help physicians in clinical decision-making and decrease the medical cost, but its ability to identify patients with ischemia has not been adequately examined to date.

Available data from registered clinical trials has testified the diagnostic performance of FFRCT, but the diagnostic accuracy among them are not consistent.

Thus, the investigators designed a collaborative individual patient-data pooled-analysis aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of FFRCT and find the possible cause for inconsistency

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic Accuracy of FFRCT
Time Frame: 1 day
Diagnostic accuracy[Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV)]* of FFRCT to determine presence or absence of at least one hemodynamically (HD)-significant coronary artery stenosis at the subject level using binary outcomes when compared to FFR as the reference standard..*Sensitivity measures the proportion of actual positives which are correctly identified. Specificity measures the proportion of negatives which are correctly identified;PPV, or precision rate is the proportion of positive test results that are true positives (such as correct diagnoses);NPV is defined as the proportion of subjects with a negative test result who are correctly diagnosed.
1 day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic accuracy of FFRCT at the subject level
Time Frame: 1 day
Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of FFRCT at the subject level using binary outcomes when compared to FFR as the reference standard.
1 day
Diagnostic accuracy of FFRCT at the vessel level
Time Frame: 1 day
Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of FFRCT for the presence or absence of HD-significant coronary artery stenosis at the vessel level using binary outcomes when compared to FFR as the reference standard.
1 day
