ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Patients with cardiovascular disease are living longer and are more frequently accessing healthcare resources. The Evaluation of the Methods and Management of Acute Coronary Events (EMMACE)-3 national study is designed to improve understanding of the effect of quality of care on health-related outcomes for patients hospitalised with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS ANDANALYSIS:
EMMACE-3 is a longitudinal study of 5556 patients hospitalised with an ACS in England. The study collects repeated measures of health-related quality of life, information about medications and patient adherence profiles, a survey of hospital facilities, and morbidity and mortality data from linkages to multiple electronic health records. Together with EMMACE-3X and EMMACE-4, EMMACE-3 will assimilate detailed information for about 13â 000 patients across more than 60 hospitals in England. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION EMMACE-3 was given a favourable ethical opinion by Leeds (West) Research Ethics committee (REC reference 10/H131374). On successful application, study data will be shared with academic collaborators. The findings from EMMACE-3 will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, at scientific conferences, the media, and through patient and public involvement. STUDY REGISTRATION NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT01808027. Information about the study is also available at EMMACE.org.
