About this study

Official title: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D and Postoperative Outcome in Cardiac Surgical Patients

We will use a retrospective data analysis to evaluate the association of the two vitamin D metabolites 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D with clinical outcome in cardiac surgical patients. The occurrence of several postoperative adverse events such as myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome, stroke and in-hospital death will be assessed from cardiac surgery to discharge. In addition, we will assess the association of the two vitamin D metaboolites with the duration of mechanical ventilatory support and intensive care unit stay from cardiac surgery to discharge. Moreover, in-hospital stay will be assessed according to vitamin D metabolite levels.

Read the detailed description

In a retrospective data analysis, we will evaluate the association of vitamin D metabolites (circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) with MACCE (major cardiac or cerebrovascular event) in cardiac surgical patients. The occurrence of several postoperative adverse events such as myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome, stroke and in-hospital death will be assessed from cardiac surgery to discharge. Approximately 4,000 data sets from mid of 2012 until the end of 2013 will be analyzed. In all patients, we will also assess the association of vitamin D metabolite levels with the duration of mechanical ventilatory support and intensive care unit stay from cardiac surgery to discharge. Moreover, in-hospital stay will be assessed according to vitamin D status

What is being measured

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

  1. major cardiac or cerebrovascular event (MACCE)

    MACCE is defined as in-hospital death, myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome or stroke.

    Measured: Patients will be followed for an average time of 14 days from cardiac surgery to discharge

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. duration of ventilatory support

    Measured: Patients will be followed for an average time of 14 days from cardiac surgery to discharge

  2. intensive care unit stay

    Measured: Patients will be followed for an average time of 14 days from cardiac surgery to discharge

  3. in-hospital stay

    Measured: Patients will be followed for an average time of 14 days from cardiac surgery to discharge

  4. infection

    Measured: Patients will be followed for an average time of 14 days from cardiac surgery to discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by Heart and Diabetes Center North-Rhine Westfalia 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 1 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 11 Aug 2016. 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?

major cardiac or cerebrovascular event (MACCE) (time frame: Patients will be followed for an average time of 14 days from cardiac surgery to discharge). 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 NCT02192528, 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 11 Aug 2016.
