Trial summary

The purposes of this study are: (1) to compare the body composition, physical activity, physical function, and quality of life between patients with and without CKD after CABG; and (2) to analyze the relationships among body composition, physical activity, and physical function in this population.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 75 years
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients who underwent CABG at the Department of Cardiovascular Center at Far-Eastern Memorial Hospital since January 2000 were selected for recruitment to this study.Thirty male patients after CABG with CKD and 30 matched controls were recruited (ages between 40-75 years old).

Who may be able to join

  • patients undergoing CABG without valve surgery
  • chronic kidney disease(matched group: without CKD)

Who cannot join

  • heart transplantation or redo CABG
  • amputation,
  • cerebrovascular disease or any others disease with limbs dysfunction,
  • lung deficit,
  • cancer,
  • cognitive disorders.

About this study

The purposes of this study are: (1) to compare the body composition, physical activity, physical function, and quality of life between patients with and without CKD after CABG; and (2) to analyze the relationships among body composition, physical activity, and physical function in this population. It is expected that patients after CABG with CKD have the worse body composition, physical function, and quality of life than patients after CABG without CKD; and patients with higher physical activity levels have the better body composition, physical function, and quality of life.

Read the detailed description

It has been reported that cardiac disease and renal disease frequently coexisted. Recently, the term cardiorenal syndrome was used to describe the interaction between heart and kidney. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease, and the cardiovascular disease is one of most severe complication in patients with CKD. Previous studies have showed the changes in body composition, physical inactivity, decreased physical function, and poor quality of life existed in patients with either cardiovascular disease or CKD. Patients concomitant with cardiovascular disease and kidney insufficiency were expected to significantly increase physical dysfunction. However, few studies addressed on these alterations in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with CKD were reported.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. lean body mass and body fat

    All the subjects underwent dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) examination for body composition evaluation. The lean body mass and body fat were examined by DEXA.

    Measured: The participants were followed at one time points after operation in past 10 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. physical activity

    The level of physical activity was evaluated by the self-administrated long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, which was permitted by the Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health, R.O.C.(Taiwan). It is an instrument that estimates the weekly time spent on the performance of physical activities according to intensity, in different contexts of life (workplace, household tasks, transport and leisure). Reported minutes per week in each category were weighted by a metabolic equivalent (MET; multiples of resting energy expenditure).

    Measured: The participants were followed at one time points after operation in past 10 years

  2. physical function

    The outcome measures of physical function included grip strength, 30-second chair stand test, and six-minute walk test(6MWT).

    Measured: The participants were followed at one time points after operation in past 10 years

  3. quality of life

    QOL was measured using abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. The original WHOQOL-BREF comprised 26 questions and included four domains: physical, psychological, social relationships, and environment. The WHOQOL-BREF scale has been adapted for Taiwan and added two questions appropriate for Taiwanese culture.

    Measured: The participants were followed at one time points after operation in past 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Far Eastern Memorial Hospital.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

lean body mass and body fat (time frame: The participants were followed at one time points after operation in past 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 30 Aug 2013.
