Trial summary

Average life span, life expectancy, and the number of older people, aged 65 years and over, have increased during the last decades. As life expectancy increased, the rate of emergency and elective surgical interventions has also increased in the older age group. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Anesthetic Techniques and Clinical Outcomes in the Oldest-old Patients Operated for Orthopedic Surgery: A Seven-year Retrospective Analysis of Data in a Third Level Hospital

Average life span, life expectancy, and the number of older people, aged 65 years and over, have increased during the last decades. As life expectancy increased, the rate of emergency and elective surgical interventions has also increased in the older age group. Although good health is required to reach an advanced age, over time, organ functions may deteriorate, and some challenges may develop that will negatively affect the balance of homeostasis. Stress, such as trauma or surgery, can cause deterioration in organ functions or aggravation of impaired functions. The risk of developing undesirable events is higher, due to the diminished reserve and function, during anesthesia applied to these patients. There is a limited number of studies in the literature about the relation between the anesthesia technique and morbidity and mortality in oldest old patients operated for orthopedic surgery. In this study, we aimed to analyze the data of the oldest-old patients operated on for orthopedic surgery between 2016-2022, retrospectively, and to investigate the relationship between anesthesia technique and adverse effects including morbidity and mortality.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    postoperative mortality

    Measured: one month after operation

  2. Anesthesia Techniques

    Data were also analyzed and compared with groups and between groups according to the applied anesthesia technique (general anesthesia versus regional anesthesia).

    Measured: up to 6 hours

  3. Type of operation

    Orthopedic surgery type

    Measured: up to 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Presence and type of comorbidities

    Hypertension, dementia, asthma, COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), CHF (Chronic Heart Failure), CAD (Coronary artery disease), DM (Diabetes mellitus), valvular heart disease, history of pulmonary emboli, electrolyte imbalance, presence of cancer, renal diseases, history of cerebrovascular disease, endocrine diseases, neurologic diseases, other chronic diseases

    Measured: 6 month period before operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia, run by Istanbul Medeniyet University 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 26 Jul 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?

Mortality (time frame: one month after operation). The study lists 3 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 26 Jul 2024.
