MONICA Newcastle Study
The objectives of the MONICA Newcastle Study were to measure the trends in coronary heart disease (CHD) morbidity and mortality and to assess the extent to which these trends are related to changes in known risk factors, daily living habits, health care, and major socioeconomic features measured at the same time in defined communities in different countries.

-
Participants (hospitalized patients) were interviewed shortly after CHD events. Fatal events were ascertained by continuous surveillance of all death certificates and details of fatal cases were obtained from death certificates, postmortem records and from doctors, relatives or other informants. Information on the use of medical treatment during and after hospitalization was collected in Newcastle from August 1984 to December 1985 and from July 1988 to March 1994 but information on the use of medical treatment before hospitalization was collected continuously throughout the period.Two more surveys of risk factors were conducted in 1988-1989 and in 1994 apart the first one in 1983

Timeline
Population
MONICA-Newcastle - Population
The population for the MONICA Project in Newcastle was residents aged 35–64 years of the five local government areas of Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock.
Participants were cases of "non fatal" coronary heart disease events. A non-fatal event is one in which the patient is alive at 28 days or there are insufficient data for determining survival status.
Selection Criteria
- Minimum age
-
35
- Maximum age
-
64
- Countries
-
- Australia
- Territory
- Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock
- Health Status
-
- Being in hospital for non fatal events meaning having definite sequential changes in a series of electrocardiographs (ECGs); or having symptoms of Acute Myocardial Infarction that were typical, atypical or inadequately described, together with more minor ECG changes and abnormal enzymes; or having typical symptoms, abnormal enzymes and ischaemic or non-codable ECG or ECG not available.
Sources of Recruitment

-
- Other specific population : Hospitalized patients
- Supplementary Information
-
All suspected coronary heart disease events in the study population were identified prospectively from surveillance of hospital admissions, death records, and other sources.Newcastle follows the "hot pursuit" method of identifying patients. This means that they recruit patients while they are still in the hospital, and obtain information, for example on symptoms, directly from the patients.
