Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 64 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: The participants were selected from electoral rolls by random sampling, with stratification for gender, age and centercentre (Lille or Dunkirk). All participants were all recruited between January 2011 and November 2013. Each selected participant received a letter asking him/her to contact the coordinating team and make an appointment for data collection. In the absence of a reply, participants were contacted by telephone. Data was collected at home (occasionally during a consultation in a healthcare establishment). In all cases, a trained, registered nurse administered a detailed questionnaire and performed spirometry testing.

Who may be able to join

  • had lived for at least 5 years in the same city or its surrounding urban area (either Lille or Dunkirk) in the northern of France
  • Agreed to participate and signed contentment

Who cannot join

  • The detainees
  • People under legal protection
  • Individuals unable to consent

About this study

Official title: ELISABET : Enquête LIttoral Souffle Air Biologie Environnement

The ELISABET STUDY is across sectional Survey on a representative sample of two urban area conduct on a representative sample. The main objective of the project is to compare the prevalence of the obstructive ventilatory disorders (OVD) in the Urban Community of Dunkirk touched by the industrial pollution in relation to the one recovered in the Urban Community of Lille (CUDL) less industrialized.

Read the detailed description

Airflow obstruction include Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstruction and asthma. Identification of Airflow obstruction is through Functional Tests Lung. In the 1950s, high pollution levels were associated with increased mortality. Despite a reduction of air pollution, it has been established that pollution peaks have short-term effects on acute respiratory episodes. The Urban Community of Dunkirk (CUD) focuses many large pollutant emitters. The long term effects of industrial pollution on TVO are unknown.

The main objective of the project is to compare the prevalence of Airflow obstruction in the Urban Community of Dunkirk affected by industrial pollution compared to that found in the Urban Community of Lille (CUDL) less industrialized. Secondary objectives are: 1) To assess the relationship between air pollution from industrial and biological markers, particularly the plasma concentrations of heavy metals 2) To assess the prevalence of TVO general population in French populations 3) Establish a baseline epidemiological and biological bank.

What is being measured

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

  1. airway obstruction

    Forced expiratory volume per second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio below 0.7. mesured by standardized spirometry

    Spirometry testing was performed mostly at home using Micro 6000 spirometers (Medisoft; Sorinnes, Belgium), according to the 2005 ATS/ERS guidelines. The spirometers were calibrated weekly. No bronchodilators were administered. For each participant, the spirometry test was repeated (up to seven times) until three acceptable, reproducible flow-volume loops were obtained, following the same guidelines. The greatest reproducible values of FEV1 and FVC were selected for the statistical analysis (regardless of whether these two values came from separate curves or from the same curve). All spirometry data were validated by an experienced, specialist physician.

    Measured: during a the single visit scheduled (less than 3 hours in the morning)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. hypertension

    Hypertension was defined as ongoing antihypertensive treatment, an Systolic blood pressure >=140 mmHg or a Diastolic Blood pressure >=90 mmHg

    Measured: during a the single visit scheduled (less than 3 hours in the morning)

  2. dyslipidemia

    Dyslipidemia was defined as ongoing cholesterol-lowering treatment or one or more abnormal fasting blood lipid values (total cholesterol 2.4 g/L, LDLcholesterol>=1.6 g/L, HDLcholesterol <0.4 g/L or blood triglycerides >=2 g/L)

    Measured: during a the single visit scheduled (less than 3 hours in the morning)

  3. diabetes mellitus

    Diabetes mellitus was defined as ongoing antidiabetes treatment (oral medication or insulin) or a fasting blood glucose (FBG) level >=1.26 g/L

    Measured: during a the single visit scheduled (less than 3 hours in the morning)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Airway Obstruction and Hypertension, run by University Hospital, Lille.

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 2 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 7 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

airway obstruction (time frame: during a the single visit scheduled (less than 3 hours in the morning)). 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 7 Jul 2015.
