About this study

Official title: Incidence And Predictors of Delirium After Cardiac Surgery; A Prospective Observational Cohort Study From a Single Tertiary Referral Centre

Delirium is a common problem that occurs after cardiac surgery. The incidence of delirium after cardiac surgery is estimated to be 26-52%, with a significant percentage being hypoactive delirium1-4.Postoperative delirium has been associated with higher hospital costs, longer lengths of hospital stay, increased likelihood of institutionalization, increased risk for dementia, and increased morbidity and mortality.5-7 .

The overall purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and perioperative factors that predispose to cause delirium in postoperative cardiac surgery patients in our ICU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Delirium, run by Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre at 1 site in Nepal.

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 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 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 Nepal. 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?

incidence and perioperative factors that predispose to cause delirium in postoperative cardiac surgery patients in our ICU (time frame: 6 months). 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 2 Aug 2021.
