About this study

Official title: Preoperative Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio, and Mean Platelet Volume as Predictors of 1 Year Mortality in Patients Undergoing an Open Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: a Retrospective Study

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a multifactorial degenerative disorder, which if untreated might lead to catastrophic complications. The treatment for AAA includes open and endovascular repair, both of which carry a significant degree of risk. Thus, researchers have performed several studies addressing simple and readily available risk stratification markers, such as complete blood count in patients undergoing open AAA repair.

The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been frequently used as a marker of systemic inflammatory response, which reflects neutrophilia and lymphopenia. The primary pathophysiology of AAA involves chronic inflammation in the aortic wall and atherosclerosis, accompanied with thrombosis. NLR was proposed as a fair indicator for poor prognosis in patients with AAA. The mean platelet volume (MPV) is the marker of platelet activation and an indicator of the activation of thrombus formation. Moreover, it is reportedly associated with the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) suggests thrombosis and inflammation and indicates a high risk of cardiovascular events in various groups of patients. The PLR is associated with poor prognosis following AAA repair. Despite accumulating evidence for the prognostic value of white blood cell counts in abdominal aortic aneurysm, few studies have investigated the value of these parameters, including NLR, MPV, and PLR, in patients undergoing AAA open repair.

The investigators aimed to investigate if preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), or mean platelet volume (MPV) could be used to predict 1-year mortality in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will retrospectively review medical records who underwent open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair between Jan 2008 and July 2019. The investigators will divide the patients into two groups according to the occurrence of 1-yr mortality. Then the investigators compare complete blood count including NLR, PLR and MPV between the groups. Furthermore, the patient will be divided into tertiles according to the preoperative NLR, PLR, and MPV values to compare the incidence of 1-yr mortality and other morbidities. Multivariable logistic regression analysis will be performed to investigate possible prognostic factor for 1-yr mortality in these patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, run by Gangnam Severance 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 5 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 25 Mar 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 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?

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?

The incidence of postoperative 1-yr mortality (time frame: 1-yr after operation). 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 25 Mar 2022.
