Study of the Interest of ECG Teletransmission in Retirement Home (EHPAD) In the Ile-de-France Region. (TEECAD)

September 27, 2022 updated by: Gérond'if
The aim of the study is to evaluate the interest and the workability of ECG teletranmission in EHPAD in Île-de-France. ECG for the elderly is beneficial to detect or monitor cardiovascular disease.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Main objectives :

  • Evaluate the workability of ECG uploaded by a caregiver who was trained before
  • Evaluate the prevalence of ECG anomalies highlighted thanks to the realisation of an uploaded ECG (supraventricular and ventricular rhythm disorder and coronary pathology)

Secondaries objectives :

  • Evaluate the prevalence of unknown ECG anomalies and thus determine the number of new diagnostics highlighted thanks to uploaded ECG
  • Evaluate the prevalence of ECG iatrogenic anomalies

The study is observational, multicentre and prospective. It is going to include 3211 elderly living in EHPAD in Île-de-France. 150 EHPAD or involved in the study, they are split in two groups : 100 EHPAD will receive ECG and 50 EHPAD will not. This last group will enable to lead a comparative analysis, only global data about death will be collected.

The study will last 36 months with 12 months of participation for each resident.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Experimental arm
This group consists of 100 EHPAD which will benefit from ECG teletransmission. all data will be collected
Control arm
This arm consists of 50 EHPAD that have not benefited from ECG teletransmission. Only the global death occurrence data will be analyzed, no individual data will be collected.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assessment of teletransmetted electrocardiogram (ECG) feasability (number of ECGs interpretable)
Time Frame: 12 months
An interpretable ECG is defined by an absence of parasite, a stable baseline, an absence of argument of a malposition of electrodes, an unwinding paper speed: 25 mm / sec, a calibration of the amplitude
12 months
Assessment of prevalence of anomalies highlighted by performing an electrocardiogram.
Time Frame: 12 months
The prevalence of anomalies highlighted by performing an electrocardiogram: supra-ventricular rhythm disorders, ventricular rhythm disorder and coronary pathologies.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Assessment of commorbidity risk and life expectancy according Charlson score.
Time Frame: 12 months
12 months
Assessment of prevalence of unknown and iatrogenic anomalies according to the electrocardiogram
Time Frame: 12 months
12 months
