T-MACS Decision Aid: a Randomized, Controlled Point of Care Trial

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to establish whether the safety of the T-MACS decision aid to immediately 'rule out' acute coronary syndromes with one blood sample for the cardiac damage marker troponin, is non-inferior to an approach requiring serial troponin sampling over three hours.

Clinical Trial Description

We will conduct a randomized, controlled point of care trial embedded in routine practice. We will ask clinicians to obtain written informed consent during the course of their clinical duties. Patients who have suspected cardiac chest pain, who are identified as being at very low risk by the T-MACS algorithm, will be invited to participate. Patients will then be randomly allocated to be advised that they can be discharged immediately (so long as the doctor and patient have no other concerns; this is the originally intended use of T-MACS; intervention arm) or to receive a second blood test after 3 hours (current practice; control arm). Participants will then be followed up by electronic record review after 30 days and 12 months. Other than the difference in the requirement for a second blood test, participants will not notice any change to their care. The accelerated pathway (involving a single blood test) has been shown to be safe in observational research involving over 5,000 patients. All of the data that are collected are the same of those that are collected in routine care, and they will be anonymised for analysis. ;
