Study summary

The PM-Heart algorithm (PMHeartIHD) is an in-house developed software that predict the survival prognosis for the individual patient hospitalized with ischemic heart disease (IHD) after a coronary arteriography has been performed. The software is intended to be used as a clinical decision support system i.e. the calculated survival prognosis is expected to enhance the quality of the treating physician's therapeutic considerations concerning (minor) adjustments to the patients treatment and follow-up - all within the framework of the current medical guidelines. Thus, the algorithm does not "show the physician specifically what to do", but rather ensures a better knowledgebase for the overall interpretation and choice of management of the patient.

Read the detailed description

To investigate the clinical usefulness of the developed clinical decision support system - the PMHeartIHD algorithm - we wish to investigate whether the clinical use of the algorithm will;

  • Improve patient prognosis and,
  • Minimize the risk of re-hospitalization,

compared to patients who are treated without the attending/treating physician knowing the algorithm's prognosis?

Study arms

  • No intervention
    Control

    The one-year mortality prediction, calculated by the PM Heart algorithm, will not be available to the physician.

  • Experimental
    Intervention

    The one-year mortality prediction, calculated by the PM Heart algorithm, will be available to the physician.

Interventions

  • OtherPM HeartIHD prediction

    The calculated prediction and the explainability factors will be made available to the physician, which the physician then can decide to take into his/hers evaluation about further treatment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number and duration of readmissions within one month after randomization

    A composite outcome of a) readmissions within one month, and 2) all-cause mortality within one year - for patients randomized to the study. All the outcomes listed below will be assessed as a comparison between the "intervention group" and the "control group".

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  2. Number and cause of death (all-cause mortality) within one year after randomization

    A composite outcome of a) readmissions within one month, and 2) all-cause mortality within one year - for patients randomized to the study.

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

Secondary outcomes

  1. Readmission(s) within 30 days of the randomization

    Readmission(s) within 30 days of the randomization. Incl. information on the quantity, duration, cause, outcome etc.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days after randomization to the study.

  2. Cardiovascular readmission(s) within 30 days of the randomization

    Cardiovascular readmission(s) within 30 days of the randomization. Incl. information on the quantity, duration, cause, outcome etc.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days after randomization to the study.

  3. Readmission(s) with acute coronary syndrome

    Readmission(s) with acute coronary syndrome. Incl. information on the quantity, duration, cause, outcome etc.

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  4. One-year survival

    One-year survival

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  5. Total number of days the primary hospitalization lasts

    Length (i.e. total number of days) of the primary hospitalization (i.e. when the patient is randomized to the study).

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  6. Total number of days at the hospital incl. hospitalizations during the first year after inclusion

    Total number of days in hospital during the first year after inclusion

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  7. Number of hospitalizations the first year

    Number of hospitalizations the first year

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  8. Number and type of performed cardiac investigations

    Number and type of performed cardiac investigations; i.e. TTE, KAG, Heart-CT, Holter/R-tests, ECG, blood samples, etc.

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  9. Number of cardiac follow-up consultations at the hospital

    Number of cardiac follow-up consultations at the hospital

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  10. Number of check-ups for cardiovascular reasons at the general practitioner

    Number of check-ups for cardiovascular reasons at the general practitioner.

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

  11. Number of cardiovascular drugs at discharge

    Number of cardiovascular drugs at discharge + after 1 year.

    Time frame: From randomization to the study and up to 1 year hereafter

    Dosages (DDD) of drugs at discharge + after 1 year.

    Time frame: Up to 1 year after randomization to study.

  13. Incidence of a) new ischemic events, b) arrhythmias, c) and/or heart failure

    Incidence of a) new ischemic events, b) arrhythmias, c) and/or heart failure

    Time frame: Up to 1 year after randomization to study.

  14. Health economic analyses of implementing the algorithm

    Health economic analyses: How does implementing the algorithm alter the overall costs and resource spending, incl. e.g. social benefits, compared with standard-of-care. i.e. does knowing a more precise 1-year mortality prediction reduce/increase the resource consumption. Will be based on economic analyses of the costs related to the abovementioned outcome measurements.

    Time frame: Up to 1 year after randomization to study.

  15. The algorithm's reception and introduction in clinical use

    We wish to investigate how the algorithm is introduced and received in the clinic, both by the medical staff but also the patients. Will be investigated using interviews.

    Time frame: Before start of clinical study and up to 1 year after randomization to study.

  16. The usability of the algorithm

    The usability of the algorithm i.e. is it easy to use/understand, any praise or criticisms, ideas for new features etc. Will be based on questionaires and feedback from users.

    Time frame: Before start of clinical study and up to 1 year after randomization to study.

  17. How, and to what extend, is the algorithm used by the medical staff.

    We wish to investigate how, and to what extend, the algorithm is used by the medical staff, e.g. are the medical staff inclined to use the prediction, does it alter their treatment choices etc. Will be based on questionaires, interviews, feedback from users, and assessment of "look-ups".

    Time frame: Before start of clinical study and up to 1 year after randomization to study.
