1. Clinical, process and patient-centred endpoints | • Hospital length of stay • Coronary care length of stay • Proportion of patients receiving invasive coronary angiography (ICA) during index hospitalisation • Proportion of patients receiving coronary revascularisation during index hospitalisation • Proportion of patients receiving subsequent unplanned coronary revascularisation after index hospitalisation within 12 months • Proportion of patients in CTCA arm receiving ICA despite <50% stenosis on CTCA • Proportion of patients assigned to CTCA with normal or mild non-obstructive disease • Proportion of patients prescribed ACS therapies during index hospitalisation • Proportion of patients discharged on prevention treatment or who have alteration in dosage of prevention treatment during index hospitalisation • Representation or rehospitalisation with suspected ACS/recurrent chest pain within 12 months • Patient symptoms and quality of life up to 12 months • Health service resource utilisation • Patient satisfaction • Clinician certainty of presenting diagnosis after CTCA |
2. Safety | • Proportion of patients with allergy/anaphylaxis/acute kidney injury • Proportion of patients with alternative diagnoses that relate to clinical presentation identified on CTCA, e.g. aortic dissection or pulmonary embolus • Proportion of patients with an incidental but potentially concerning finding on CTCA, e.g. malignancy or pulmonary nodules • Total average radiation exposure from CTCA in the intervention arm during index hospitalisation |
3. Health economics | • Incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained |
