Read the detailed description

The Myocardial Infarction Register Saarland (MIR-SL), is intended to collect data about the treatment of patients suffering from ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It aims to provide current data on the implementation of guidelines for both, the interventional and adjuvant drug therapy of STEMI in daily clinical practice in the Saarland.

In order to obtain representative data for the Saarland, preferably all consecutive patients should be documented comprehensively in the University Hospital of the Saarland, the non-university hospitals with cardiac catheterization laboratory as well as in hospitals without cardiac catheterization laboratory .

MIR-SL is attended by all 22 hospitals in Saarland, that treat patients with acute STEMI. A follow-up will be carried out after three months, 12 months and five years.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Oct 2016 to primary completion in Jul 2018, 21 months.

Of 377 non-industry observational studies under Myocardial Infarction, half reached primary completion within 49 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 132. This study's 21 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 418 studies reached it within 41 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 113.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 14, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
