About this study

Official title: Handgrip Strength (HGS) With HGS Asymmetry is Associated With All-cause Mortality and Hospital Readmissions Among Elderly Patients With Gastric Cancer.

Adding the handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry to the existing measurements of low HGS may improve the assessment of muscle function.

Read the detailed description

We sought to explore the associations between maximal HGS with HGS asymmetry and mortality, hospital readmissions, total complications, and prolonged length of stay (PLOS) among elderly patients with gastric cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. All-cause mortality

    within 3 months after surgery, collected from telephone follow-up

    Measured: about 3 months

  2. Hospital readmissions

    wihthin 3 months after surgery, collected from telephone follow-up

    Measured: about 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total complications

    during hospitalization, collected from medical records

    Measured: about 3 months

  2. prolonged length of stay

    during hospitalization, collected from medical records

    Measured: about 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Nanjing Medical University 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 31 May 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 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?

All-cause mortality (time frame: about 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 May 2022.
