About this study

Official title: Observational Study on the Prognostic Relevance of Admission Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1C) in Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

In patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), hyperglycemia is considered an adverse prognostic factor. Glycated hemoglobin (or HbA1c) can be measured to estimate the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time, thus determination of glycated hemoglobin at admission after aSAH serves as an approximation of blood glucose levels in the weeks preceding aneurysm rupture. In this patient registry admission HbA1c, clinical course and neurological outcome after 6 month are recorded, to determine whether elevated blood glucose levels prior to aneurysm rupture influence the clinical course and patient outcome after aSAH.

Read the detailed description

In patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), hyperglycemia is considered an adverse prognostic factor. Glycated hemoglobin (or HbA1c) can be measured to estimate the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time, thus determination of glycated hemoglobin at admission after aSAH serves as an approximation of blood glucose levels in the weeks preceding aneurysm rupture.

In this patient registry admission HbA1c within 72 hours after confirmed aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in patients aged over 18 years is determined and correlated with clinical course and neurological outcome after 6 month as determined by modified Rankin score. Additionally, patients are monitored for incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and the incidence of new infarction on the discharge ct scan attributable to DCI. General treatment of cerebral aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage in all patients follows international guidelines.

What is being measured

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

  1. modified Rankin score

    Measured: 6 month after discharge

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of DCI related new infarction on discharge ct scan

    Incidence of new infarction on discharge ct scan not attributable to causes other then DCI.

    Measured: at discharge, approx. 14-21days after admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperglycemia and Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, run by Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2015. 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 Germany. 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?

modified Rankin score (time frame: 6 month after discharge). 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 18 Mar 2015.
