  Purpose

Registry to Improve the Adoption of Consensus Treatment Guidelines (IMPROVE Brady)

The study is expected to provide evidence to support claim(s) that:

  • Education and process improvement initiatives can improve the diagnosis of and appropriate therapy application for sinus node dysfunction (SND)
  • The quality improvement methods studied have general applicability and can be used by all centers
  • Appropriate treatment minimizes caregiver burden
  • Appropriate treatment improves quality of life (QOL) and functional status compared to pre-implant

Condition Intervention
Sinus Node Dysfunction
Behavioral: Evidence based guidelines and tools

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The absolute change in the proportion of subjects diagnosed with SND before and after intervention [ Time Frame: Assessed at 6 and 12 months of follow-up from enrollment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • The absolute change in the proportion of subjects receiving indicated therapy before and after intervention [ Time Frame: Assessed at 3 and 6 months of follow-up from SND diagnosis ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Outcome measure applies to subjects that receive a SND diagnosis


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The proportion of Phase I subjects diagnosed with SND and the number of diagnoses that result in indicated therapy [ Time Frame: SND diagnosis assessed at 6 and 12 months of follow-up from enrollment and receipt of therapy assessed at 3 and 6 months of follow-up from SND diagnosis ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in time to diagnosis of SND before and after intervention [ Time Frame: From date of enrollment until date of SND diagnosis, assessed up to 60 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Time to diagnosis days (date of diagnosis - date of enrollment)

  • Change in time to receiving an indicated IPG device for subjects diagnosed with SND before and after intervention [ Time Frame: From date of SND diagnosis until date of therapy, assessed up to 60 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Time to diagnosis in days (date of implant - date of diagnosis)

  • Difference in caregiver burden between implant visit and 6 months post-implant [ Time Frame: between implant visit and 6 months post-implant ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in Quality of Life (QOL) between implant visit and 6 months post-implant [ Time Frame: between implant visit and 6 months post-implant ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
