Summary
The PACIFIQUE survey assessed medical practices for patients undergoing coronary angioplasty in France. It focused on hospital discharge and 6-month follow-up care to understand current management strategies.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Clinical Research
- Health Services Research
Context:
- The PACIFIQUE survey was conducted in major French interventional cardiology centers, each performing over 600 procedures annually.
- Data collection occurred over a specific two-week period in January 2004.
- The study focuses on patients who have undergone coronary angioplasty.
Purpose:
- To determine current medical management practices at hospital discharge for patients treated with coronary angioplasty.
- To evaluate the 6-month follow-up medical management in patients post-coronary angioplasty.
- To establish a benchmark for interventional cardiology patient care in France.
Summary:
- The study outlines the protocol for the PACIFIQUE survey, a national initiative in France.
- It details the methodology for assessing patient management after coronary angioplasty.
- The survey captured data on treatments administered upon hospital discharge and at the six-month follow-up mark.
Impact:
- Provides insights into real-world clinical practices in interventional cardiology.
- Aims to identify potential areas for improvement in patient follow-up care.
- Serves as a foundation for future studies on post-angioplasty management and outcomes.
