About this study

The purpose of this study to determine the prognostic value of the Selvester QRS score for perioperative myocardial injury following elective non-cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

This study was designed as an investigator-directed, non-commercial, observational, prospective, national, single-center study. The effect of preoperative complex ECG changes on the formation of cardiac damage will be studied. The data of the people participating in the study will be kept entirely confidential. After being informed about the study, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo preoperative evaluation. An ECG and cardiac troponin analysis will be performed to the patients who meet the eligibility. After the surgery will be completed control cardiac troponin and extensive physical examination will be performed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Selvester QRS Score with Preoperative ECGDiagnostic test

    Selvester QRS score will be calculated with the preoperative ECG of the patients.

Study groups in NCT05453097
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Perioperative Myocardial Injury OccuredPatients with troponin elevation from the preoperative basal level do not meet the criteria for myocardial infarction according to the fourth universal myocardial infarction guideline, do not describe active anginal complaints, and underwent surgery in the operating room.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Selvester QRS Score with Preoperative ECG
Perioperative Myocardial Injury Not OccuredPatients without troponin elevation from the preoperative basal level, do not describe active anginal complaints, and underwent surgery in the operating room.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Selvester QRS Score with Preoperative ECG

What is being measured

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

  1. The prediction of perioperative cardiac injury with preoperative Selvester ECG Score

    Selvester ECG score is a validated technique for predicting myocardial scar and injury level in patients who undergone PCI. It is aimed to predict and demonstrate perioperative myocardial damage using this algorithm.

    Measured: Change from Baseline cardiac troponin levels at postoperative 1st hour in PACU

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The prediction of preoperative high-sensitivity troponin and ECG abnormalities on arrhythmia susceptibility.

    The prediction of preoperative high-sensitivity troponin and ECG abnormalities on arrhythmia susceptibility by monitoring the cardiac rhythm

    Measured: Arrhythmia surveillance during peroperative and postoperative 1st hour in PACU

  2. Effect of preoperative cardiac assessment on postoperative cardiac adverse event

    Effect of preoperative cardiac assessment on postoperative cardiac adverse event

    Measured: Cardiac adverse event surveillance during peroperative and postoperative 24 hours

  3. Determination of postoperative intensive care hospitalizations for cardiac reasons

    Determination of the reasons of the postoperative intensive care unit hospitalizations for cardiac reasons.

    Measured: postoperative intensive care hospitalizations for cardiac reasons until postoperative 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Ischemia and Cardiac Arrhythmia, run by Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa 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 6 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?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 prediction of perioperative cardiac injury with preoperative Selvester ECG Score (time frame: Change from Baseline cardiac troponin levels at postoperative 1st hour in PACU). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05453097, which also lists 2 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.

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 28 Sep 2023.
