About this study

Official title: Assessment of Cognitive and Functional Impairment of Older Patients After Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Endoscopic Ultrasound

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an interventional endoscopy procedure utilized in the therapeutic management of pancreatobiliary diseases including gallstones, bile duct strictures, leaks and infections, pancreatitis, and cancers of the bile duct or pancreas. ERCP is classified as a high risk procedure. Potential adverse events directly attributable to the technical aspects of ERCP include pancreatitis, hemorrhage, infection, and bowel wall perforation. Other potential adverse events of ERCP may be less apparent and/or unknown, such as risk of neurocognitive dysfunction. Overall, neurocognitive dysfunction after medical procedures impacts quality of life, functional disability, depression, and caregiver and societal burden.

The prevalence of postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction and disability following interventional endoscopy procedures such as ERCP has not been reported. This prospective observational study is designed to assess the prevalence of cognitive impairment and functional disability after ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures in older patients, and to assess whether specific patient and/or procedural factors are associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Neurocognitive function assessmentOther

    Neurocognitive function will be assessed via a phone battery derived from standard cognitive tests proven feasible and valid to assess memory, attention, reasoning, and executive functioning. Functional status will also be assessed via phone. The duration of time required for the patient to complete telephone interview for neurocognitive and functional assessment will be approximately 45 minutes per time point.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Research SubjectsAll adults aged 60 years or older scheduled to undergo outpatient ERCP and/or EUS at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) will be invited to participate in the study. Invited patients who consent to participate as study subjects will undergo neurocognitive and functional assessment pre-procedure and at 90 days post-procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cognitive Impairment, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 29 Jul 2024. 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 States. 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?

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?

Prevalence of cognitive impairment and/or functional disability (time frame: 90 days). 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 Jul 2024.
