Study information

Study designRandomized controlled trial.
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeDiagnostic
Scientific titleTroponine-At-Bedside study
Study acronymTAB
Study objectivesWe hypothesized that Point of Care Testing in the emergency department for troponin I measurement would be associated with a faster process of care, including for patients presenting with non specific symptoms.
Ethics approval(s)The Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects of Henri Mondor Hospital approved the study protocol and patient informed consent procedures in June 2002.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute coronary syndrome
InterventionPoint-Of-Care testing in the emergency department vs central hospital laboratory testing for troponin I measurement.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureTime to anti-ischemic therapy.
Secondary outcome measures1. Time to physician notification of troponin I level
2. Length of stay within the emergency department defined by the time to bed assignment
3. Mortality at 30 and 90 days after presentation
4. Level of emergency department staff reliability on Point-Of-Care testing versus central hospital laboratory testing as assessed by the proportion of second troponin I tests ordered after the Point-Of-Care testing

Age groupAdult
Lower age limit18 Years
SexBoth
Target number of participants800
Total final enrolment833
Key inclusion criteria1. Age 18 years or older
2. Suspicion of acute coronary syndrom
3. Required to measure troponin I (Ti)
Key exclusion criteria1. Patients presenting with ST-elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) (typical chest pain and persistent [>20 min] ST-segment elevation [>0.1 mV in limb leads or 0.2 mV in precordial leads]) did not represent such a diagnostic challenge compared to NSTE-ACS and were candidate for urgent reperfusion procedure, and therefore were excluded from the current analysis.

Other exclusion criteria:
2. Refusal or inability to provide informed consent
3. Previous enrolment in the study

Additionally, aiming to select patients with high risk ACS, the patients who had 1-2 Ti levels consistently <0.10 µg/L within eight hours of the onset of ACS symptoms were excluded from the study post-hoc.
Date of first enrolment01/11/2002
