Study Protocol: 10-Year Follow-Up of Patients Screened for Cardiovascular Risk by the All With Heart Association - Development of a Morocco-Specific Risk Score

Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (2) locations...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, and their prevalence is steadily increasing in Morocco. Between 2010 and 2012, the All with heart Association conducted a large-scale cardiovascular screening campaign in the Greater Casablanca region, involving more than 10,000 adults aged over 40 years. This 10-year follow-up study aims to evaluate long-term cardiovascular outcomes and to develop a Morocco-specific cardiovascular risk score. Follow-up data will be collected through phone calls, WhatsApp, or SMS with participants or their families to document cardiovascular deaths, myocardial infarctions, and strokes. Statistical analyses, including survival analysis and multivariate logistic regression, will be used to identify significant risk factors and to construct a predictive risk model tailored to the Moroccan population. The study received a favorable opinion from the Rabat Ethics Committee. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants or their families prior to data collection. The findings are expected to enhance understanding of cardiovascular risk evolution in Morocco and to provide a validated, population-specific risk score to support prevention and patient management strategies.

Participants screened for cardiovascular risk (TAC cohort)
Participants aged 40 years and older who were screened for cardiovascular risk between 2010 and 2012 by the All with heart Association in the Greater Casablanca region. This cohort is being followed 10 years after the initial screening to assess cardiovascular outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, stroke) and to develop a Morocco-specific cardiovascular risk score. No intervention is applied; the study is purely observational.
