Study population: The study reflects a search strategy of available literature on pulmonary arterial hypertension in scleroderma.

Who may be able to join

  • Studies were included they were (1) in patients with SSc; and if they (2) determined PAH with right heart catheterization; (3) involved a comparison of SSc patients with and without PAH; and (4) had sample size larger than 20.

Who cannot join

  • Studies were excluded if they were review articles, and if the study was written in languages other than English. When the same patients were used in more than one analysis, the most recent or largest sample-size study was included.

About this study

This protocol is of a systematic review for risk factors of pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic sclerosis.

Read the detailed description

A systematic review was conducted to determine the risk/associated factors for pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic sclerosis, including clinical/disease characteristics, antibody status, test results and biomarkers. The frequency of publications featuring a risk/association were reported. The following databases were searched: Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and SCOPUS.

The following search terms were used:

( essential pulmonary hypertension or familial primary pulmonary hypertension or hypertension, pulmonary or hypertension,lung or hypertensive pulmonary vascular disease or idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension or lung arterial hypertension or lung artery hypertension or lung hypertension or primary pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary arterial hypertension or pulmonary artery hypertension or pulmonary fixed hypertension or pulmonary hypertensive disease or pulmonary hypertensive diseases or pulmonary hypertensive disorder or pulmonary hypertensive disorders )

AND

( generalised scleroderma or generalized scleroderma or progressive scleroderma or progressive sclerodermia or progressive sclerosis,systemic or progressive systemic sclerosis or scleroderma, generalised or scleroderma, generalized or scleroderma, progressive or scleroderma, systemic or sclerosis,progressive systemic or sclerosis,systemic or sclerosis,systemic progressive or systemic progressive sclerosis or systemic scleroderma or systemic sclerosis,progressive or

scleroderma, limited or limited scleroderma or limited cutaneous scleroderma or

diffuse scleroderma or progressive diffuse scleroderma or scleroderma, diffuse )

AND

( prevalence or prevalence study or relative risk or risk factors )

  2. Risk factors for pulmonary arterial hypertension in scleroderma

    to determine the risk factors associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension in scleroderma

    Measured: 2 years from study start date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Systemic Sclerosis, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.

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 19 Aug 2022. 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 Canada. 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 Pulmonary arterial hypertension in scleroderma (time frame: 2 years from study start date). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Aug 2022.
