Trial summary

REASON FOR STUDY Major non-cardiac surgery has a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Recently, suitable measurements of a patient's preoperative cardiorespiratory reserve, performed non-invasively by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, have been shown to be predictive of outcome following non-cardiac surgery.

About this study

REASON FOR STUDY

Major non-cardiac surgery has a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Recently, suitable measurements of a patient's preoperative cardiorespiratory reserve, performed non-invasively by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, have been shown to be predictive of outcome following non-cardiac surgery. Although the exact mechanisms behind poor reserve in this population are unknown, poor cardiac function and particularly diastolic dysfunction are likely to be important.

AIMS

The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of diastolic dysfunction in determining poor cardiorespiratory reserve in elderly patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. This will provide suitable information to inform a further therapeutic preoperative interventional study.

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS

  1. To determine the presence and severity of diastolic dysfunction, measured by preoperative transthoracic echocardiogram, in a series of elderly surgical patients undergoing major elective non-cardiac surgery
  2. To investigate the relationship between diastolic dysfunction and poor cardiorespiratory function during and following exercise measured by non-invasive testing including cardiopulmonary exercise testing, non-invasive blood pressure measurements and biochemical analysis
  3. To determine whether patients with poor diastolic dysfunction are likely to have worse outcomes following major surgery compared with those who show no evidence of diastolic dysfunction. Outcomes will be measured in terms of length of hospital stay and early postoperative morbidity (validated scoring system) and mortality.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diastolic Dysfunction, run by Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact james prentis, mbbs (0191 4602958, jamesprentis@btinternet.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Oct 2015.
