This study will implement a regression discontinuity design (RDD). RDD is a quasi-experimental study design able to provide robust findings on causality using observational data.', 'detailedDescription': 'All patients in this study were included in the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR), a sub-registry of SWEDEHEART. \\[2\\] Data regarding FFR assessments are documented in SCAAR in terms of FFR values and coronary segments investigated with FFR. The use of FFR during PCI is left at the discretion of the operator. Since a nondeterministic assignment to revascularization is expected at the cut-off, a fuzzy RDD design will be used in the analyses. Moreover, FFR values equal to 0.80 (at the cut-off) will be excluded from the analysis since treatment assignment exactly at the cut-off may substantially vary across operators and this may create distortions in the treatment discontinuity. Local linear regression estimates with Kernel triangulation and asymmetric bandwidth selection will be used in the analysis. Bandwidth selection will be based on a fully data-driven approach that minimizes the bias-variance trade-off.\\[3\\] Estimates from RDD will be presented as risk differences \\[RD\\] complemented by 95% robust confidence intervals.\\[4\\]'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Patients with chronic coronary syndrome undergoing coronary angiography and FFR measurement in Sweden.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Chronic coronary syndrome undergoing coronary angiography and FFR measurement\n* Swedish personal identification number\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* previous coronary artery bypass grafting\n* left main disease or undergoing FFR/PCI of left main\n* IVUS/OCT use\n* diffuse disease (≥ 2 segments treated in a same vessel investigated with FFR, ≥ 2 segments investigated with FFR in a same vessel)\n* PCI in a distal segment with respect to FFR measurements'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05592535', 'briefTitle': 'Outcomes With Fractional Flow Reserve in Chronic Coronary Syndrome', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Uppsala University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Prognostic Impact of Fractional Flow Reserve in Chronic Coronary Syndrome: Quasi-Experimental Findings Using a Regression Discontinuity Design', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '1'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'FFR below 0.80', 'description': 'Patients with significant coronary hyperemic gradient', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Coronary revascularization']}, {'label': 'FFR above 0.80', 'description': 'Patients without significant coronary hyperemic gradient'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Coronary revascularization', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Coronary revascularization performed by PCI in a vessel investigated with FFR or indication for surgery', 'armGroupLabels': ['FFR below 0.80']}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Uppsala University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
