|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Proportion of patients free from first atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence lasting 6 minutes or longer | 12 months after initiation of allocated treatment excluding the first 3 months blanking period | In the absence of antiarrhythmic drugs in ablation group as documented by an implantable cardiac monitor from initiation of treatment. |
| Secondary | Total atrial arrhythmia burden (percentage of time in AF/AT) | baseline,12, 24, 36 months after initiation of treatment excluding the 3 months blanking period | Measured from the continuous implantable cardiac monitor with a 6 minutes AF episode detection cut-off limit. |
| Secondary | AF progression and reversion | baseline,12, 24, 36 months follow-up excluding 3 months blanking period | Progression to longstanding persistent or permanent AF/AT and regression going in opposite direction from persistent to paroxysmal AF or to sinus rhythm. Measured as combination of reduced number of progressions or increased number of AF/AT regression . |
| Secondary | Generic Health Related Quality of life (HRQoL) | baseline, 12, 24, 36 months follow-up | Generic Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) quality of life questionnaire using 8 subscales: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health. Scores from 0 to 100; lower scores poorer QoL. |
| Secondary | Symptoms | baseline, 12, 24, 36 months after initiation of treatment | European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Symptom Classification assessing the severity of AF related symptoms |
| Secondary | AF specific Health Related Quality of Life | baseline, 12, 24, 36 months after initiation of treatment excluding the 3 months blanking period | Assessed by University of Toronto Atrial Fibrillation Severity Scale (AFSS); 19-item AF-specific scale; ratings AF including 4 categories; 1. AF burden (calculated from modified sum of frequency, duration and severity of episodes); Total AF Burden=AF frequency + AF duration + AF severity. Each of 3 measures contributes equally to Total AF Burden score, and varies from 1-10 to yield Total AF Burden scores ranging from 3-30 where higher scores indicate greater AF burden. 2. Global Well Being (visual analogue scale 1-10; worst - best possible life); 3. AF Symptom Score (sum of 7 items on specified symptoms); For each of 7 questions (answers vary from 0=I have not had this symptom in past 4 weeks to 5=A great deal), values determined and summed together to form a total score (0-35). This score assumes linearity of severity. 4. Health Care Utilization (number of cardioversions, ablations, emergency room visits, hospitalizations due to arrhythmia, and specialist appointments). |
| Secondary | Cognitive function | baseline,12, 24, 36 months after initiation of treatment | Trail Making Test (TMT) parts A and B. Patient is asked to draw lines from figures in consecutive orders n 1-2-3 etc (TMT A) and from figures to letters 1-A-2-B etc.(TMT B) Examiner starts timing both part A and B and counts errors made. The Time in seconds and Number of errors are counted for both A and B test. The rhythm and pulse at the time of the evaluation will be recorded but is not used as a measure other than a binary value for correlation with cognitive function. |
| Secondary | Rate of Healthcare utilizations for cardiovascular reasons | baseline,12, 24, 36 months after initiation of treatment excluding the 3 months blanking period | Number of cardioversions, ablations, drug initiations, cardiovascular hospitalizations, emergency department visits and unplanned outpatient visits and its relation to AF/AT burden. Cardiovascular means related to AF including any treatment or diagnostic procedure for AF/AT, i.e. cardioversions, medication, further AF ablations after AF/AT recurrence, or any adverse events related to AF/AT or its treatment (acute stroke), heart failure, myocardial ischemic events; adverse events (eg. pacemaker implantation). |
| Secondary | Cost-effectiveness analysis by EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) | 36 months | Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) using EQ-5D; QALYs will then be incorporated with medical costs; cost/QALY to compare the treatments. i) EQ-5D descriptive system with five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, each with 5 levels. Digits combined into a 5-digit number for patient's health state. ii) Visual analogue vertical line scale (EQ-VAS) with endpoints labelled 'The best and worst health you can imagine' as a quantitative measure of health outcome reflecting patient's own judgement. Cost-effectiveness analysis of the treatments examining costs and health outcomes of the two interventions. It compares the interventions by estimating how much it costs to gain a unit of a health outcome. |
| Secondary | Proportion of patients with Reverse atrial remodeling | baseline, 12, 24 and 36 months | Proportion of patients with Reverse atrial remodeling as defined by at least 15% decrease of Left atrial maximal volume index (ml/m2) or increase of left atrial strain during reservoir phase (percentage) or left atrial strain during contraction phase (percentage) versus baseline. |
| Secondary | Proportion of patients free from ECG documented atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence lasting 6 minutes or longer after the 1st and last ablation procedure respectively | 36 months | Defined as single and multiple procedure success |
| Secondary | Adverse events | 12, 24, 36 months | Type and frequency of adverse events and serious adverse events related or not to treatment. |
| Secondary | Numbers of withdrawals / 'cross-overs' | 12, 24, 36 months | Frequency of withdrawals / 'cross-overs' in each treatment group |
| Secondary | Covariate adjusted primary endpoint freedom from first atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence lasting 6 minutes or longer | 12 and 36 months | Analysis using following covariates at baseline: coronary artery disease, hypertension, left atrial volume index. |
| Other | Predictors of non-responders by 4-Structured - AF characterization and conventional risk factors | 12 and 24 months | Structured AF (4S-AF) characterization assessing; 1. Stroke risk; No Oral Anticoagulation (OAC) or OAC = 0 - 1 point. 2. Symptom severity by European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Symptom (0 point = EHRA score 1-2a; 1 point = EHRA score 2b; 2 points = EHRA score 3-4). 3. Severity AF/AT burden (0 point = short, infrequent, 1 point = intermediate and/or frequent; 2 points = long or very frequent). 4. Substrate: Comorbidity/Left atrial enlargement (0 point = none; 1 = single/mild moderate; 2 points = multiple/ severe). Add +1 point if age \>75 years. Sum of points will be correlated to treatment responder, defined as sinus rhythm at 12 months without AF/AT recurrences, versus conventional. Conventional risk factors for AF/AT recurrence: 1. AF history, (months) 2. P wave duration (milliseconds) 3. LAVI (mL/m2) and atrial strain (percentage) by echocardiography 4. NTpro-BNP (ng/L) 5. BMI (kg/m2) 6. CHA2DS2vasc score (0-10) |
| Other | Blood pressure, systolic | baseline,12, 24, 36 months after initiation of treatment | Measured after 10 minutes rest by (mmHg). |
| Other | Blood pressure, diastolic (mmHg). | baseline,12, 24, 36 months after initiation of treatment | Measured after 10 minutes rest by (mmHg). |
| Other | Rhythm at time of responding to quality of life questionnaire | baseline, 12, 24, 36 months | Rhythm (atrial fibrillation or sinus rhythm) recorded at time of quality of life assessment for evaluation if correlated to QoL. |
