About this study

Official title: Establishment Reference Values for Abdominal Skeletal Muscle Compartments in Turkish Children

The aim of this study was to establish reference values for three compartments of the abdominal skeletal muscle area (psoas muscle area, paraspinal muscle area, and total skeletal muscle area) obtained from cross-sectional Computed tomography images in Turkish Children

Read the detailed description

The aim in this study is to determine reference values for Turkish children by evaluating the abdominal region skeletal muscle area (psoas muscle, paraspinal muscles and total skeletal muscle in the section) obtained from cross-sectional CT images.

Material Method of the Research The study was planned as a retrospective study. Patients under 18 years of age who are admitted to Istanbul Province Bağcılar Training and Research Hospital with acute abdominal pain or acute trauma between May 5, 2017 and May 5, 2023 and who underwent abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging on this date of application will be scanned through the hospital information management system. Past diagnoses of these patients will be questioned and those with chronic diseases will be excluded from the study.

CT images of the patients will be retrieved from the PACS database. From the sections taken at the L3-L4, L4-L5 levels, the cross-sectional area of the psoas muscle, paraspinal muscles and the total skeletal muscles in that section will be measured using the hospital's SYNAPS system. The results will be recorded in cm2.

    The Paraspinal muscle area at the L3-L4 vertebra level in the patients' abdominal computed tomography will be measured.

    Measured: 1 interview day

  3. L3-L4 LEVEL: Abdominal muscle area,

    The Abdominal muscle area at the L3-L4 vertebra level in the patients' abdominal computed tomography will be measured.

    Measured: 1 interview day

  4. L4-L5 LEVEL: Psoas muscle area

    The Psoas muscle area at the L4-L5 vertebra level in the patients' abdominal computed tomography will be measured.

    Measured: 1 interview day

  5. L4-L5 LEVEL: Paraspinal muscle area

    The Paraspinal muscle area at the L4-L5 vertebra level in the patients' abdominal computed tomography will be measured.

    Measured: 1 interview day

  6. L4-L5 LEVEL: Abdominal muscle area,

    The Abdominal muscle area at the L3-L4 vertebra level in the patients' abdominal computed tomography will be measured.

    Measured: 1 interview day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Child Development and Sarcopenia, run by Istanbul Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital 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 4 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 20 Nov 2024. 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?

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?

L3-L4 LEVEL: Psoas muscle area (time frame: 1 interview day). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06121791, 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.

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 20 Nov 2024.
