Cardiovascular disease continues to cause significant morbidity, mortality, and impaired quality of life, with unrealized health gains from the underuse of available evidence. The Transitions, Risks, and Actions in Coronary Events Center for Outcomes Research and Education (TRACE-CORE) aims to advance the science of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) by examining the determinants and outcomes of the quality of the transition from the hospital to the community and by quantifying the impact of potentially-modifiable characteristics associated with decreased quality of life, rehospitalization, and mortality. TRACE-CORE is composed of a longitudinal multi-racial cohort of patients hospitalized with ACS, two research projects, and development of a nucleus of early stage investigators. We are currently enrolling 2,500 adults hospitalized for ACS at 6 hospitals in the northeastern and southeastern United States. We will follow these patients for 24 months after hospitalization through medical record abstraction and six patient interviews focusing on quality of life, cardiac events, rehospitalizations, mortality, and medical, behavioral, and psychosocial characteristics. The Transitions Project studies determinants of and disparities in outcomes of the quality of patients’ transition from the hospital to the community. Focusing on potentially modifiable factors, the Action Scores Project will develop and validate action scores to predict recurrent cardiac events, death, and quality of life, describe longitudinal variation in these scores, and develop a dashboard for patient and provider action based on these scores. In TRACE-CORE, sound methodologic principles of observational studies converge with outcomes and effectiveness research approaches. We expect that our data, research infrastructure, and research projects will inform the development of novel secondary prevention approaches and underpin the careers of CVD outcomes researchers.
