  • In order to be eligible to participate in the control group, a subject must meet all of the following criteria:
  • Aged between 6 and 18 years
  • Normal weight according to the IOTF criteria
  • Undergo surgery for elective reasons

About this study

The aim of Prevent CardioKids is to evaluate to what extend disturbed vascular function markers are already present in children of different weight categories and whether these are age dependent. Also differences - and relationships - between vascular function measurements and plasma biomarkers between lean and overweight/obese children will be compared.

The aim of Prevent CardioKids is to evaluate to what extend disturbed vascular function markers are already present in children of different weight categories and whether these are age dependent. Also differences - and relationships - between vascular function measurements and plasma biomarkers between lean and overweight/obese children will be compared.The primary endpoint is to examine the difference in micro- and macro-vasculature characteristics in children with different weight classifications (lean; overweight; obese; extreme obese; morbid obese). Secondary endpoints are differences in lipoprotein profiles, pro-inflammatory and oral glucose tolerance profiles between different age groups, between lean and overweight/obese children and in relation with the measured micro- and macro-vasculature characteristics

Receives: Other: Lifestyle intervention
Lean childrenLean children according to the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) criteria admitted at de pediatric ward for a planned surgery, for example the correction of floppy ears

What is being measured

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

  1. Vascular function measured by peripheral arterial tonometry (EndoPAT)

    The primary endpoint is the difference in micro- and macrovascular characteristics, as measured by EndoPAT in lean/overweight/obese children in different age groups.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Differences in characteristics of the microcirculation as measured via fundus photography

    Differences in characteristics of the microcirculation as measured via fundus photography in overweight/obese children in different age groups, between lean and overweight/obese children in different age groups and in relation with the measured micro- and macrovascular characteristics

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Differences in characteristics of microcirculation measured via lipoprotein profiles

    Differences in characteristics of the microcirculation as measured via lipoprotein profiles in overweight/obese children in different age groups, between lean and overweight/obese children in different age groups and in relation with the measured micro- and macrovascular characteristics

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Differences in characteristics of the microcirculation as measured via pro-inflammatory profiles

    Differences in characteristics of the microcirculation as measured via pro-inflammatory profiles in overweight/obese children in different age groups, between lean and overweight/obese children in different age groups and in relation with the measured micro- and macrovascular characteristics

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact A. Vreugdenhil, Dr. (003143-3875284, a.vreugdenhil@mumc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vascular function measured by peripheral arterial tonometry (EndoPAT) (time frame: 1 year). 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 29 Apr 2020.
