Trial Outcomes & Findings for Holter Versus Zio Patch Electrocardiographic Monitoring in Children (NCT NCT03309956)

NCT ID: NCT03309956

Last Updated: 2024-06-18

Results Overview

The diagnostic yield, or the ability to detect an arrhythmia, will be measured for the Holter monitor and the Zio patch monitor for each patient. The diagnostic yield for each arrhythmia subtype will be determined for each device across all patients and compared in paired statistical analysis (McNemar's test).

Measure
Holter Monitor and Zio Patch
All subjects will wear the Holter monitor and Zio patch for a total of 48 hours. Holter Monitor: A Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart's electrical activity (ECG) continuously. Patients in this study will wear the monitor for 48 hours. Zio Patch: The Zio Patch is a small, adhesive, water-resistant single lead electrocardiographic monitoring device. Patients in this study will wear the patch for 48 hours.

Patients in this study will wear the patch for 48 hours. 247 subjects were enrolled. 47 patients were excluded from the arrhythmia analysis due to one or both devices being worn for \<24 hours (n = 18) or \>72 hours (n = 4), either device failing to record (n = 11), or one or both devices being lost (n = 14). A total of 200 patients completed the study and were included for the arrhythmia analysis after attrition. The Baseline Population characteristics are reported for the final 200 participants.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 48 hours

Population: 247 subjects were enrolled. 47 patients were excluded from the arrhythmia analysis due to one or both devices being worn for \<24 hours (n = 18) or \>72 hours (n = 4), either device failing to record (n = 11), or one or both devices being lost (n = 14). A total of 200 patients completed the study and were included for the arrhythmia analysis after attrition.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 48 hours

Population: 247 subjects were enrolled. 47 patients were excluded from the arrhythmia analysis due to one or both devices being worn for \<24 hours (n = 18) or \>72 hours (n = 4), either device failing to record (n = 11), or one or both devices being lost (n = 14). A total of 200 patients completed the study and were included for the arrhythmia analysis after attrition.

The aggregate percent analyzable data of the Holter monitor compared to the Zio Patch across all patients will be calculated using descriptive statistics.

Timeframe: 48 hours

Population: 247 subjects were enrolled. 47 patients were excluded from the arrhythmia analysis due to one or both devices being worn for \<24 hours (n = 18) or \>72 hours (n = 4), either device failing to record (n = 11), or one or both devices being lost (n = 14). A total of 200 patients completed the study and were included for the arrhythmia analysis after attrition.

Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze survey results. A one page patient satisfaction survey will be filled out at the end of the 48 hours to compare patient/parental preference and possible adverse reactions for each device.
