About this study

Official title: A Novel Biomarker for the Prediction of Early Comorbidity in Cardiac Surgery: Red Cell Distribution With to Lymphocyte Ratio

It is aimed to investigate whether red cell distribution with (RDW) to lymphocyte ratio (RLR) can predict early comorbidity among cardiac surgery patients.

Read the detailed description

There are important developments in the field of cardiac surgery due to advances in medical treatments, surgical techniques, intraoperative anesthesia management, and postoperative intensive care. On the other hand, the proportion of high-risk patients has increased due to the increasing number of elderly patients with comorbidities presenting for cardiac surgery. It is important to analyze outcomes such as postoperative morbidity and mortality, due to concerns about the quality of life of patients after cardiac operations, the recommendations of current ERAS protocols, and the shortening of intensive care unit length of stay. Complications such as cardiac, pulmonary, renal, and neurological disorders, infections such as pneumonia or sepsis, and prolonged stay in the intensive care unit and hospital are indicators of not only the quality of care but also the quality of life after cardiac surgery. Therefore, it is important to determine the perioperative risk factors that cause postoperative morbidity. Various outcome prediction models are used for cardiac surgery, such as the Cardiac Anesthesia Risk Assessment score, Tuman score, Tu score, and the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Assessment score, which uses preoperative factors to predict the postoperative outcomes. It is known that intraoperative factors such as CPB duration, aortic cross-clamp time, surgical technique, and serum lactate levels are associated with postoperative morbidity. Recent studies suggest that inflammatory and immune imbalance may play an important role in postoperative complications. Studies point to new parameters derived from preoperative complete blood count as potential biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Many markers such as Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio, Mean platelet volume (MPV) or RDW alone have been studied in cardiac surgery. The ratio of red cell distribution width (RDW) to lymphocyte (L) has been popular in recent years as an indicator of poor prognosis, especially in oncological patients. However, this marker has not yet been evaluated in terms of morbidity or mortality in cardiac surgery patients.

The main purpose of this study; To investigate the RDW/L ratio as an early morbidity marker in cardiac surgery patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. red cell distribution width (RDW)

    preoperative measurement of complete blood count. RDW is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the mean cell size by the MCV of the red cells and multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage.

    Measured: preoperative period ( 24 hours before surgery)

  2. lymphocyte count

    preoperative measurement of complete blood count.

    Measured: preoperative period ( 24 hours before surgery)

  3. Complications

    postoperative complications such as pulmonary, neurologic, cardiac, infectious.

    Measured: postoperative periods, up to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Surgery, 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 1 inclusion and 7 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?

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05341037, which also lists 4 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.
