Trial summary

Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is still one of the serious complications of thoracic aortic surgery, with incidence of 8 to 50 percent. Postoperative AKI significantly increases the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is still one of the serious complications of thoracic aortic surgery, with incidence of 8 to 50 percent. Postoperative AKI significantly increases the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery. Previous studies for AKI after DHCA reported confounding results due to different criteria of AKI. Therefore, the investigators tried to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of AKI after thoracic aortic surgery according to the diagnostic criteria and staging system of AKI reported from acute kidney injury network. The investigators also tried to develop a risk model with scoring system of AKI and evaluate the performance of the risk model.

Read the detailed description

Significant improvement of morbidity and mortality has been achieved during last three decades since developing deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). However,postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is still one of the serious complications of thoracic aortic surgery, with incidence of 8 to 50 percent. Postoperative AKI significantly increases the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery. Previous studies for AKI after DHCA reported confounding results due to different criteria of AKI. Therefore, the investigators tried to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of AKI after thoracic aortic surgery according to the diagnostic criteria and staging system of AKI reported from acute kidney injury network (2007). The investigators also tried to develop a risk model with scoring system of AKI and evaluate the performance of the risk model.

What participants receive

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

  • Electronic Medical Record (EMR) ReviewOther

    Also called Electronic Medical Record (EMR)

    measurements of potential risk factors of acute kidney injury through the patients' previous medical record review.

    potential risk factors include previous history of hypertension, diabetes, cerebrovascular events, peripheral arterial disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, recent myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease; preoperative glomerular filtration rate, preoperative creatinine level, preoperative cardiac ejection fraction reported on echocardiography, use of preoperative inotropics, use of deep hypothermic cardiac arrest, intraoperative colloid use, intraoperative blood product transfusion, total time of cardiopulmonary bypass,

What is being measured

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

  1. presence of Acute kidney injury

    diagnosis of AKI if the record of patient meet one of the below criteria

    1. abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function currently defined as
    2. absolute increase in serum creatinine of more than or equal to 0.3 mg/dl (≥ 26.4 μmol/l),
    3. a percentage increase in serum creatinine of more than or equal to 50% (1.5-fold from baseline), or
    4. a reduction in urine output (documented oliguria of less than 0.5 ml/kg per hour for more than six hours)

    Measured: 1 time, within 48 hours of aortic surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracic Aortic Surgery, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 25 Dec 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 South Korea. 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?

presence of Acute kidney injury (time frame: 1 time, within 48 hours of aortic surgery). 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 25 Dec 2013.
