Trial summary

High blood glucose levels in surgical patients with and without diabetes are associated with increased risk of medical complications and death. Over the short-term, high blood glucose can adversely affect fluid balance, impair immunologic response to infection, and promote inflammation and endothelial dysfunction… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Type 2 Diabetes in the Perioperative Period: Prevalence and Clinical Outcome

High blood glucose levels in surgical patients with and without diabetes are associated with increased risk of medical complications and death. Over the short-term, high blood glucose can adversely affect fluid balance, impair immunologic response to infection, and promote inflammation and endothelial dysfunction (blood vessel function). Blood glucose control with intensive insulin therapy in patients with critical illness (very sick patients in intensive care unit) reduces the risk of multiorgan failure and systemic infections, and decreases short- and long-term mortality. High blood glucose has also been associated with poor outcome in non-critically ill patients admitted to general surgical and medical wards; however, intensive glycemic control is not aggressively pursued because of fear of hypoglycemia. A computerized search of biomedical journal literature from MEDLINE, PubMed, and Ovid from 1966 to 2008 provided very little information on the prevalence and outcome of high blood glucose during the perioperative period (before and after surgery) in non-critically ill patients. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the impact of high blood glucose, in large number of subjects with and without diabetes, during general (non-cardiac) surgery.

Read the detailed description

We will perform a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery from 01/01/07 to 06/30/07 at Emory University Hospital as inpatient.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00738114
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1group without hyperglycemia (fasting blood glucose below 126mg/dl) approximately 1000 patients
2group with hyperglycemia (fasting blood glucose above 125 mg/dl) or history of diabetes approximately 500 patients

What is being measured

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

  1. assess impact of hyperglycemia and diabetes during the periop period on clinical outcome(mortality and morbidity)in patients undergoing general and non-cardiac surgery.

    Measured: 01/01/07 - 06/30/2007

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. determine the scope of clinical inertia in patients with diabetes and untreated hyperglycemia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery

    Measured: 01/01/07 - 06/30/2007

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperglycemia and Diabetes, run by Emory University at 1 site in United States.

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 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 21 Nov 2013. 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 United States. 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?

assess impact of hyperglycemia and diabetes during the periop period on clinical outcome(mortality and morbidity)in patients undergoing general and non-cardiac surgery. (time frame: 01/01/07 - 06/30/2007). 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 NCT00738114, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Nov 2013.
