Verification of the Safety of Early Discharge in Patients After Acute ST-segment Myocardial Infarction

October 18, 2017 updated by: Kamil Novobílský

Official Title Verification of the Safety of Early Discharge (Within 72 Hours) in Low Risk Patients After Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Open Randomized Study.

The aim of the study is to prove that early discharge (within 72 hours) in selected group of patients after myocardial infarction with elevations of ST-segment is feasible and safe

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The aim of the study is to prove

  • that early discharge (within 72 hours) in selected group of patients with low risk of follow-up complications after myocardial infarction with elevations of ST-segment, treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention, is feasible and safe
  • that early discharge is comparable with the group of patients, discharged in a standard way accordingly with present practice and physician´s decision (usually 4th-7th day), thus it is not associated with higher incidence of complications in 90th day after myocardial infarction

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Early discharge
Early discharge (within 72 hours) of selected patients with low risk of complications after myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation, treated with successful percutaneous coronary intervention
Active Comparator: Standard discharge
Discharge after myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation in a standard way accordingly with present practice and physician´s decision (usually 4th-7th day)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite of Incidence of Death, Reinfarction, Unstable Angina Pectoris, Stroke, Unplanned Rehospitalization, Repeat Target Vessel Revascularization and Stent Thrombosis in 90 Days After Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Time Frame: 90 days
Fischer´s exact test was used for comparison of qualitative variables between two groups. For comparison of quantitative variables we applied Mann-Whitney U test, respectively Student´s t-test (age). Normality of data was assessed with Shapiro-Wilk test. Values of p < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.
90 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complications Associated With the Puncture Site Requiring Treatment in 30 Days After Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Time Frame: 30 days
Fischer´s exact test was used for comparison of qualitative variables between two groups. For comparison of quantitative variables we applied Mann-Whitney U test, respectively Student´s t-test (age). Normality of data was assessed with Shapiro-Wilk test. Values of p < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.
