About this study
Official title: Late Postconditioning After Cardiac Surgery - Bridge From Surrogate Markers to Clinical Outcome
Retrospective analysis of a 6-month follow up within a randomised controlled study in cardiac surgery with pharmacological postconditioning (sedation on intensive care unit with sevoflurane)
Read the detailed description
Introduction: In a recent randomized controlled (RCT; NCT00924222) trial the investigators demonstrated in 102 patients that late post-conditioning with sevoflurane performed in the intensive care unit (ICU) reduced myocardial injury. These patients presented with lower troponin T values on the first post-operative day compared with patients undergoing propofol sedation. In order to assess possible clinical relevant long-term implications in patients enrolled in this study, the current retrospective analysis is performed focusing on cardiac and non-cardiac events during the first six months after surgery.
Methods: All patients who had successfully completed the late post-conditioning trial were included in this follow-up. Primary and secondary endpoints were the proportion of patients experiencing cardiac and non-cardiac events, respectively. Additionally, therapeutic interventions such as initiation or change of drug therapy, interventional treatment or surgery were assessed.

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?
the proportion of patients with cardiac events (time frame: 6 months after cardiac 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.
