Key requirements

  • Ages 20 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Based on the raw data of BMI by Batsis et al's report in 2017 (mean value of two groups: 28.5 and 27.6, mean SD of two groups: 1.0), authors calculated total numbers of subjects, based on the Kang method using G power 3.1. Assuming the between factors analysis using the F-test of MANOVA, effect size 0.45, α value ≤0.05, power 0.8, number of groups 2, and number of repeated measures 4 were inputted. Supposed that the dropout rate was 20%, 34 patients in each group were finally calculated.

Who may be able to join

  • brain MRI / CT-based stroke patients who were referred for VFSS

Who cannot join

  • In case of a history of dysphagia

About this study

Official title: Prediction of Functional Health Status and Aspiration Using Multiple Dysphagia Scales Over 6 Months After Acute Stroke: Prospective, Observational, Parallel Group, Case-control Trial

In order to discover dysphagia scales, which shows meaningful predictability of aspiration and functional health status in patients with acute stroke, authors plan to find out more predictable indicators than existing penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) to validate their predictions and their internal and external validity over 6 months following stroke .

Read the detailed description

To determine the dysphagia scale with significant predictions of aspiration and functional health status in patients with acute stroke, video-fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) will be performed to the patients who will be referred for VFSS among stroke patients who would be diagnosed by Brain MRI / CT. When any type of dysphagia is found, participant will be assigned to the test group (DYS), and when no dysphagia is found, they will be assigned to the control group (NOD).

Numerous kinds of assessment will be conducted before and after VFSS, before discharge, and 3, 6, and 9 months after the stroke onset.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Stroke and Dysphagia, run by Ulsan University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2019. 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 South Korea. 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 Chang Ho Hwang (+82-52-250-7210, chhwang1220ciba@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of Body mass index (Kg/m2) (time frame: 1 day before and 1 day, 3 weeks after the VFSS, 3 month, 6 months and 9 months after the stroke onset). 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 17 Dec 2019.
