Join us to hear our Research Advisory Group present the groundbreaking results of the Aortic Syndrome Evidence Synthesis (ASES) Study, a pivotal research initiative funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The results of this study are set to reform how emergency departments diagnose potential cases of aortic dissection.
Insightful Analysis
Steve Goodacre from the University of Sheffield, an esteemed Professor in Emergency Medicine, will provide a comprehensive overview of the study’s findings. His insight will highlight the potential of clinical scores and blood tests in identifying patients who necessitate a CT aortogram.
Patient-Centric Approach
Valérie Lechene will share her reflections on the integral role of PPV (Patient and Public Involvement) in the research process. Her insights will underline the importance of patient perspectives and the input from the charity in shaping medical research and practice, ensuring that the study’s outcomes resonate with those directly affected by aortic dissection.
This webinar is suitable for anyone interested in aortic dissection, whether you’re personally affected, a healthcare worker, or a clinician. We’ll explain things in a simple and clear way, so everyone can understand the important medical findings.
Background
The ASES project is a collaborative effort led by specialists in emergency medicine, surgery, imaging, and health economics, alongside public representatives from the Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust. The initiative’s goal is to evaluate the efficacy of clinical scores and blood tests in diagnosing acute aortic syndrome, with a focus on optimising patient management while minimising unnecessary CT scans. Through comprehensive research and a novel computer model, the project aims to refine diagnostic strategies, thereby enhancing patient outcomes and informing future investigations in this critical area of medicine.
Whether you are a medical professional seeking to expand your diagnostic toolkit or someone touched by aortic dissection, this session promises valuable insights and forward-thinking discussions.
This session is now full. Please join the Research Panel to receive a recording of the session.
