About this trial

This trial will prospectively evaluate the impact of integrating AI-ECG within the pay-for-performance program on improving the diagnosis, treatment, and clinical outcomes of occlusion myocardial infarction patients by promoting accurate and timely diagnoses through financial incentives.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients in the emergency department

Patients received at least 1 ECG examination.

Disqualifiers

The patients received ECG at the period of inactive AI-ECG system.

Patients with a history of coronary angiography within the past 3 days.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • AI-ECG P4P program

    Other intervention

    The AI-ECG system will conduct a real-time analysis of the ECG. When the system identifies potential OMI cases, it will immediately send short message service notifications to the on-duty cardiologists. This will enable the cardiologists to promptly review and confirm the diagnosis.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

D-to-W time (Door to Wire Time)

Door-to-wire time refers to the duration from a patient's arrival at the emergency department (ED) to the successful placement of a wire into the coronary artery during a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) procedure.

Time frame
From the start of the emergency visit to the following 48 hours.
2

Cost Outcome Measure

Total expenditures, from the start of the emergency visit to 90 days post-discharge (in USD), for comparison between the intervention and control groups, based on records from NHI (National Health Insurance) claims data.

Time frame
From the start of the emergency visit to 90 days post-discharge.

Secondary outcomes

1

Door-to-Wire time less than 90 minutes

The proportion of patients achieving a Door-to-Wire time of less than 90 minutes in the intervention group compared to the control group. The intervention and control groups' door-to-wire time will be compared. Door-to-wire time is defined as the duration from the first ECG to the successful placement of the wire during PPCI for OMI patients in the emergent department.

Time frame
48 hours
2

In-hospital all-cause Mortality Rate

The proportion of patients who die from any cause, regardless of the underlying condition, during hospitalization.

Time frame
90-day follow
3

In-hospital cardiac death

The proportion of patients who die from cardiovascular-related causes during hospitalization.

Time frame
90-day follow
4

Length of ICU

Comparison of length of ICU between the intervention and control groups.

Time frame
90-day follow

Other outcomes

1

Emergent CAG without PCI

The number of patients who received emergent coronary angiograms without lesions need intervention.

Time frame
From the start of the emergency visit to the following 48 hours.
2

Procedure related vascular complications

The number of patients who received a procedure with vascular complications.

Time frame
From the start of the emergency visit to the following 48 hours.
3

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury

The number of patients who received a procedure with contrast-induced acute kidney injury.

Time frame
90-day follow
4

Procedure related mortality

The proportion of patients who die due to the procedure within 90 days.

Time frame
90-day follow
