Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The investigators recruited 4500-5000 native inhabitants aged 35-75 years lived in China according to China census-tract data from the year 2005. The gender was accordance with China census-tract data, and the population aged 35-75 years has a higher incident of intracranial aneurysm in the literature. Assuming an 8 percent prevalence of intracranial aneurysm in the general population and using a two-sided alpha value of 0.05, the investigators estimated that 4500-5000 native inhabitants would need to be enrolled for the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Native inhabitants lived in a defined area sites in China
  • Aged 35-75 years

Who cannot join

  • Less than 35 years old or more than 75 years old
  • Incompetent patient who cannot give consent for routine MR Angiography and his/her surrogate decision maker is not available
  • Any patients with a contraindication to having a standard MRI examination, such as phase maker, orbital metallic foreign body, etc.

About this study

Official title: Epidemiology of Cerebral Aneurysms With MRA in China in Middle-aged or Elder Person: a Population-based Survey

The Chinese Cerebral Aneurysms Survey is a continuing prospective study among middle-aged and older individuals (35 - 75 years) that aims to determine the prevalence of cerebral intracranial aneurysms in the general population with MRA at 3.0 Tesla (T).

Read the detailed description

Cerebral intracranial aneurysms are common. In angiographic and autopsy studies, estimates for prevalence vary between 0.2 and 9.9 percent. The methods used to detect the aneurysms markedly influenced the proportion of aneurysms. Retrospective autopsy studies probably give an underestimation and prospective angiography studies an overestimation of the actual prevalence. Accurate data on the prevalence of intracranial aneurysms are essential in evaluating the results of screening programs for aneurysms in general population.

During the past decade, MRA, as a preferred accuracy modality for noninvasive intracranial vascular imaging at most centers, is playing an increasing role in the evaluation of patients suspected of having intracranial aneurysms. In recurrent study, we have tested that MRA at 3T has excellent sensitivity, accuracy, and correlation with DSA and is comparable to catheter cerebral angiography for the evaluation of patients with intracranial aneurysms (Stroke, in press). Therefore, we examined trends in intracranial aneurysm prevalence with the use of MRA at 3.0T to determine the true prevalence of cerebral intracranial aneurysms in the general middle-aged or elder population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 14 Dec 2009. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yong-Dong Li, MD, PhD (0086-21-64844183, dr_liyongdong@sina.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cerebral intracranial aneurysms identified by 3-D TOF-MRA at 3T (time frame: 18 months after the study). 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 NCT00926172, 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 14 Dec 2009.
