Acute Coronary Syndrome, Coronary Artery Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The FLORIDA (Fractional FLOw Reserve In cardiovascular DiseAses) study sought to investigate outcomes of FFR-guided versus angiography-guided treatment strategies in a large, real-world cohort.
Detailed description
The objective of the FLORIDA study was to investigate mortality outcomes of FFR-guided versus angiography-guided treatment strategies in a large, real-world patient cohort, including patients with different stages of coronary artery disease as well as patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). All patients were followed for a period of 3 years after the index date. The analysis period extended from the individual index date to the date of death or the end of the 3-year follow-up period. Patients were matched for sex, presence of acute coronary syndrome, age ± 5 years, and propensity scores estimated with logistic regression based on 72 variables , with each FFR patient matched to the closest angiography-only patient
Interventions
Patients were stratified into the FFR group if a coronary angiography with adjunctive FFR measurement was performed during the index hospitalization.
Patients were stratified into the angiography-only group if a coronary angiography without adjunctive FFR measurement was performed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| All-cause mortality | 36 months | All patients were followed for a period of 3 years after the index date. The analysis period extended from the individual index date to the date of death or the end of the 3-year follow-up period. The primary endpoint was mortality at 3 years, prospectively assessed at a quarterly basis. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| All-cause mortality | 12 months | Prospectively assessed at a quarterly basis. |
