Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of participants with diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation during the research window in control and intervention arms
Prevalence of AF in the research window assessed
From the first collection of patient medical records at the beginning of the trial to the last collection of patient records following the intervention at the end of the trial (Up to 6 months)
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Expected healthcare resource utilisation (Annual maintenance costs related to health states (informed by the primary endpoint), and daily treatment costs (including monitoring))
Up to 6 months
Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)
Up to 6 months
Life years (LYs)
Up to 6 months
Study Arms (2)
Intervention arm
The AF risk prediction algorithm will be run on patient records within the Egton Medical Information Systems (EMIS) data base, in order to identify patients at risk of developing AF
Control arm
Patients may be diagnosed with AF through routine clinical practice only
Eligibility Criteria
It is anticipated that approximately 18,000 patient records will be included in the trial. It is anticipated that approximately 1,200 undiagnosed patients would be invited for AF diagnosis across all study sites.30 years is taken as the minimum age entry criteria as the algorithm was built on information from patients \>30 years where AF becomes more prevalent.
You may qualify if:
- GP Practices within National Institute for Healthcare Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network: West Midlands (CRN: WM) CRN: WM
- Patients registered at a participating practice, aged ≥30 years and without an AF diagnosis.
- As above, and those with a negative or indeterminant ECG
- As above, and those with access to a smartphone
You may not qualify if:
- Patients \<30 years
- Patients with an existing diagnosis of AF
- Patients for whom the healthcare professional feels the study is unsuitable
