About this study

Official title: Measurement of the Total Lung Volume Using Optimized Single-breath Helium Dilution Method in Patients With Obstructive Lung Disease

Whole-body plethysmography (WBP) is the gold standard for measuring lung volume, but its clinical application is limited because it requires expensive equipment and is complicated to use. Studies have shown that the single-breath helium dilution (SBHD) method, which is commonly used in clinical practice, significantly underestimates lung volume in patients with obstructive lung disease (OLD). Therefore, by comparing the differences in lung volume measured by the SBHD method and WBP in patients with different severities of obstructive lung disease, we aim to establish a correction equation for the SBHD method to determine the total lung volume in obstructive lung disease patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Establishment of the TLC-SBHD correction equation

    TLC-adjusted SBHD (L) = -0.669 + 0.756 × TLC-SBHD (L) - 0.047 × FEV1/FVC + 0.039 × height (cm) - 0.009 × weight (kg) (r2 = 0.753 and adjusted r2 = 0.751)

    Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Lung Disease, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 9 Jun 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 China. 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?

Establishment of the TLC-SBHD correction equation (time frame: 2 year). 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 9 Jun 2021.
