Trial summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequently encountered and prognostically significant complications after cardiovascular surgery. However, there is no definitive treatment to intervene after development of AKI, therefore, preventive strategy has been the major issue. Read more about this study

About this study

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequently encountered and prognostically significant complications after cardiovascular surgery. However, there is no definitive treatment to intervene after development of AKI, therefore, preventive strategy has been the major issue. By this time, incidence of AKI after cardiovascular surgery has been reported 3-50% based on the studies with various definition of AKI and different patient cohorts. Development of unified definition for AKI in the early 2000s opened a new era in AKI study.

According to the previous studies, aortic surgery, especially thoracic aortic surgery was known to be highly prevalent of AKI, which was considered to be caused by use of total circulatory arrest (TCA), relatively high number of emergency cases, combined malperfusion syndrome before surgery and relatively complicated surgical procedure. However, there has not been many studies of AKI in thoracic aortic surgery because of its low incidence and urgent clinical presentation of aortic pathology, which hinder large randomized controlled study. Moreover, there are conflicting reports of incidence and risk factors of AKI after thoracic aortic surgery, no conclusive result has been made. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the incidence and risk factors after thoracic aortic surgery only due to dissection.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of acute kidney injury based of RIFLE criteria

    serum creatinine, GFR were retrospectively retrieved from electrical medical record upto 7days after surgery.

    Measured: upto 7 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Risk factors of acute kidney injury

    • age, sex, comorbidities
    • serum creatinine, hemoglobin,mean arterial blood pressure
    • CPB duration, aorta cross clamping duration, total circulatory arrest duration, operative procedures performed, amount of transfused blood components
    • serum creatinine upto 7 days after surgery, mean arterial pressure, cardiac index, amount of transfused blood components in intensive care unit, ventiltor duration, ICU stay duration, renal replacement therapy, 30-day mortality

    Measured: after diagnosis of acute kidney injury after operation (usually within 7 days after operation)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dissection of Thoracic Aorta, run by Yonsei University 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 2 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 16 Jul 2014. 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?

incidence of acute kidney injury based of RIFLE criteria (time frame: upto 7 days after 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 16 Jul 2014.
