While the companies may be inundated with calls, the vast majority of potential candidates do not fit the trial criteria.
White bar patients who fit the EVAR-1 trial criteria; black bar patients who do not fit the EVAR-1 trial criteria.
Table 1 Patient data Patients who fit the EVAR-1 trial criteria Patients who do not fit the EVAR-1 trial criteria Number (male:female ratio) 61 (58:3) 62 (57:5) Age (years) 74.0 ± 0.8 74.8 ± 0.4 Aneurysm diameter (cm) 6.4 ± 0.1 6.2 ± 0.1.
Patients not meeting the EVAR-1 trial criteria had significantly longer fluoroscopic screening times and higher radiation doses.
While the majority of matching criteria can be gleaned from a scan of a user's medical record — Clark estimates this at about 75percentt — other trial criteria may need additional data.
Watson identifies patterns in patients, matching them to the clinical trial criteria much more quickly and efficiently".
These percentages will also most likely increase for patients who failed to meet the EVAR-1 trial criteria, as their procedures will inevitably be more complicated.
Before he started the second-line chemotherapy, he was diagnosed with a silent brain infarction based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings following the clinical trial criteria.
This study determined the radiation burden for standard EVAR, as determined by the EVAR-1 trial criteria, and more complex EVAR.
Patients who failed to meet the EVAR-1 trial criteria had EVAR procedures with longer fluoroscopic screening times associated with higher radiation doses.
A total of 123 elective patients aged >60, with aneurysms >5.5 cm who received a bifurcated stent-graft were allocated into a group based on whether or not they fulfilled strict EVAR-1 trial criteria.
