About this study

Official title: Cerebrospinal Fluid Cholinergic Biomarkers and Postoperative Cognitive Change in Aged Patients

Previous study demonstrated that the condition of central cholinergic nerve is important for the postoperative cognitive dysfunction. In present study investigators hypothesized that the acetylcholine concentration in the cerebral spinal fluid is associated to the postoperative cognitive changes in aged patients undergoing osteopathic surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Short-term postoperative cognitive dysfunction rate

    Measured: The day before surgery and 7 days after surgery (or before leave hospital)

  2. Concentration of Acetylcholine in CSF

    Measured: During spinal anesthesia

  3. Concentration of choline acetyltransferase in CSF

    Measured: During spinal anesthesia

  4. Concentration of acetylcholinesterase in CSF

    Measured: During spinal anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Long-term postoperative cognitive dysfunction rate

    Measured: Two months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Necrosis of Femoral Head and Knee Osteoarthritis, run by RenJi Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 22 May 2019. 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?

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?

Short-term postoperative cognitive dysfunction rate (time frame: The day before surgery and 7 days after surgery (or before leave hospital)). The study lists 4 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 22 May 2019.
