Pre-Frailty Risk in Cardiovascular Surgery
An observational study of Post Cardiac Surgery, run by Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia.
Trial summary
Frailty is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), recent data has shown significant association between pre-frailty and the risk of incident for CVD, irrespective of any classical cardiometabolic risk factors, suggesting that targeting pre-frailty as a potentially reversible risk factor for CVD in… Read more about this study

- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Older adult
Study population: Patients with an established diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction or valve regurgitation) by previous electrocardiogram and/or Doppler echocardiography and all had surgical indication (coronary artery bypass, valve replacement or combined surgery). Patients with prior neurological disease (previous stroke or muscular dystrophies) or cognitive impairment resulting from previous injury or who refused to participate in the study were excluded. Twenty-four hours before the surgery patients were evaluated by Frailty score as described elsewhere and divided into 2 groups: No-Frailty (Frailty score 1 or 2) and Pre-Frailty (Frailty score 3 or 4). If the patient had Frailty score ≥ 5 they were excluded from the study.

About this study
Official title: Pre-Frailty Score as a Predictor Risk on Cardiovascular Surgery Outcome in Elderly
Frailty is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), recent data has shown significant association between pre-frailty and the risk of incident for CVD, irrespective of any classical cardiometabolic risk factors, suggesting that targeting pre-frailty as a potentially reversible risk factor for CVD in the elderly. Patients with high levels of frailty have an increased risk in post-operative period, with more time in mechanical ventilation, length of stay and complications (stroke and death) compared to patients with low frailty levels. The investigators hypothesized that pre-frailty patients also have a higher surgical risk compared to no-frailty patients.
Read the detailed description
This was a prospective observational study involving patients over 65 years recruited from the Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology. The patients had an established diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction or valve regurgitation) by previous electrocardiogram and/or Doppler echocardiography and all had surgical indication (coronary artery bypass, valve replacement or combined surgery). Patients with prior neurological disease (previous stroke or muscular dystrophies) or cognitive impairment resulting from previous injury or who refused to participate in the study were excluded.
Twenty-four hours before the surgery patients were evaluated by Frailty score as described elsewhere and divided into 2 groups: No-Frailty (Frailty score 1 or 2) and Pre-Frailty (Frailty score 3 or 4). If the patient had Frailty score higher than 5 were excluded from the study.
After surgery all patients were admitted at the intensive care unit (ICU) following the institutional mechanical ventilation protocol. Immediately after admission heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and oxygen pulse saturation (SpO2) were measured with a Dixtal monitor (DX 2010). After ICU admission all participants were followed up for main outcomes: hospital discharge, stroke, infection or death. In addition the investigators also measured length of stay, the duration of mechanical ventilation, vasopressors usage and the needed of physiotherapy indication after hospital discharge. All study participants receive medical and physiotherapy care according to the routine of the institution.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2016. 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?
Cardiac outcome in patients with or without frailty score (time frame: 6 months). 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 12 Jul 2016.
