Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization procedures are important interventions to reduce the risk of death, avoid future cardiovascular events, and improve quality of life of people with heart disease. However, exposure to the radiocontrast dyes required for these procedures can lead to contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI); a common and costly complication. There are accurate ways to identify patients at increased risk of this complication and strategies to prevent CI-AKI. This involves ensuring that patients who are at risk have procedures done with the minimum amount of X-ray contrast dye required, and that they receive optimal intravenous fluids at the time of the procedure.

This study will evaluate the implementation of a strategy where computerized decision support tools are used to help doctors identify patients at risk of CI-AKI, as well as make decisions about how much contrast dye to use and how much intravenous fluid to provide to patients who are identified at risk of CI-AKI in cardiac catheterization.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Overview: Randomized stepped-wedge trial to evaluate the impact of implementing a computerized decision support strategy that incorporates CI-AKI risk prediction and calculation of safe contrast dye limits and intravenous fluid recommendations.

Study Population: Adult patients undergoing diagnostic or interventional coronary angiography procedures will be eligible if not already receiving dialysis. Patients receiving emergency primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction will be excluded.

Intervention: Multivariable clinical risk prediction model to estimate risk of CI-AKI and safe contrast limits for patients above the median (\>5%) predicted risk of CI-AKI. Intravenous fluids recommendations based on weight and left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure will also be provided for patients identified above the median risk of CI-AKI.

The National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) Cath-PCI Registry AKI risk model will be used to estimated the predicted risk of CI-AKI, and safe contrast limits will be estimated using the ePRISM, Acute Kidney Injury Model with Contrast Sensitivities and Dialysis Risk (Health Outcomes Sciences) software, incorporated within the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcomes Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease (APPROACH) Cardiac Catheterization software.

Study Design: Using a stepped-wedge design, clusters of cardiologists who perform diagnostic or therapeutic cardiac catheterization in each centre will be randomized to be introduced to the intervention at sequential time points spaced over 20 months. At each step, cardiologists who have not yet been randomized will serve as controls.

Intervention

Cardiologists will receive computerized clinical decision support information for CI-AKI prevention for patients identified above the median (\> 5%) risk of AKI based on the NCDR risk prediction model for CI-AKI.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

Computerized clinical decision support intervention. This intervention consists of 2 decision support components for CI-AKI prevention:

1. Estimation of safe contrast limit to reduce the relative risk of CI-AKI by 20% (ePRISM Acute Kidney Injury Model with Contrast Sensitivities and Dialysis Risk software from Health Outcomes Sciences)
2. Patient weight and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) based intravenous crystalloid fluid recommendation.

Control

Usual care.

Group Type OTHER

Control

Intervention Type OTHER

Usual procedural care provided by cardiologist without introduction of the computerized clinical decision support information.
