About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Dietary Phytochemical Index, Oxidative Stress and Inflammation of Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between dietary intake, blood total antioxidant capacity and disease activity in individuals with AS. This study will include patients diagnosed with AS who applied to Ankara City Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital, and a control group that does not have AS. The sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional habits and 1-day physical activity status of individuals with AS and healthy persons will be recorded. Anthropometric measurements of all individuals (such as height length (cm) and body weight) will be taken. From the height and body weight measurements, the individuals body mass indexes will be calculated. All parts of the questionnaire for individuals included in the research will be filled in by the researcher through face-to-face interview technique. The disease activity score of the individuals in the case group will be evaluated by the physician. Serum biochemical parameters will be taken from the patient files. In the patient information system of the control group, above mentioned blood tests will be recorded from the examinations performed in the last 1 month. Serum total antioxidant and oxidant levels will be measured in a private laboratory with a tube (5 ml) of blood from all individuals. The parameters to be examined in blood samples are specific to the study and their cost will be covered by the researchers.

Read the detailed description

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that progresses with inflammation of synovial membranes. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between total dietary phytochemical intake, blood total antioxidant capacity and disease activity in individuals with AS. This study will include patients diagnosed with AS who applied to Ankara City Hospital Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Hospital, and a control group that does not have AS and that meet exclusion criteria. The sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional habits, one-day food consumption records and 1-day physical activity status of AS diagnosed and healthy individuals included in the study will be recorded with a questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements of all individuals (case and control) such as height length (cm) and body weight (kg) will be taken. From the height and body weight measurements, the students' body mass indexes will be calculated from the formula [weight (kg) / height (m²)]. Waist circumference; The perimeter passing through the middle of the distance between the lowest costa and crista iliaca superior will be measured by tape measure. All parts of the questionnaire for individuals included in the research will be filled in by the researcher through face-to-face interview technique. The disease activity score (ASDAS) of the individuals in the case group will be evaluated by the physician. Serum biochemical parameters (complete blood count, fasting blood sugar, liver function tests, urea, creatinine, lipid profile, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, c-reactive protein) will be taken from the patient files. In the patient information system of the control group, complete blood count, fasting blood sugar, liver function tests, urea, creatinine, lipid profile, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and c-reactive protein levels will be recorded from the examinations performed in the last 1 month. Serum total antioxidant and oxidant levels will be measured in a private laboratory with a tube (5 ml) of blood from all individuals. After the blood samples are centrifuged, 0.5 ml will be separated into eppendorfs. Samples will be stored in a -80 degree refrigerator in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Hospital. Total antioxidant and oxidant capacity measurement will be done in a private laboratory in Ankara in the form of service procurement by Erel method. Samples for total antioxidant and oxidant analysis will be sent to the relevant laboratories in dry ice. The parameters to be examined in blood samples are specific to the study and their cost will be covered by the researchers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dietary phytochemical index

    Dietary phytochemical index is calculated from one day dietary record. Higher index is better.

    Measured: Will be done only once on the first day after inclusion.

  2. Total antioxidant and oxidant capacity

    Higher total antioxidant capacity and lower oxidant capacity is better.

    Measured: Blood samples will be obtained once on the first day after inclusion. Samples will be stored in -80 C medical refrigerator and analysis will be done after collection of all samples.

  3. Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score

    Higher scores (>2.1) mean active disease. Lower scores (<1.3) mean inactive disease

    Measured: Will be done only once on the first day after inclusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ankylosing Spondylitis, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 14 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 26 Feb 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Dietary phytochemical index (time frame: Will be done only once on the first day after inclusion.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04772976, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 26 Feb 2021.
