- Abstract
Using usual care as reference, clinician and combined nudge were associated with significantly increased statin prescription (adjusted percentage increase of 5.5%, 95% CI [3.4-7.8%], P = 0.01; and 7.2% [5.1-9.1%], P = 0.001, respectively), while patient nudge alone did not result in significant change (0.9% [-0.8 to 2.5%], P = 0.32). The use of hs-cTn was associated with increased utilization of echocardiography among patients with acute coronary syndrome (adjusted odds ratio 1.43, 95% CI [1.19-1.73]) but not low-risk patients. On the other hand, hs-cTn resulted in less utilization of invasive coronary angiography among low-risk patients (adjusted odds ratio 0.73 [0.58-0.92]) and similar utilization among high-risk patients.
