Study population: Patients with CC were enrolled from the Childhood Cataract Program of the Chinese Ministry of Health (CCPMOH). The study involved 1,164 participants (6,585 persontimes) enrolled from Jan 2010 to Oct 2015. Cataract removal and/or intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were conducted by two experienced cataract surgeons for participants.

About this study

Official title: Developmental Profile of Ocular Refraction in Patients With Congenital Cataract: A Prospective Cohort Study

The purpose of prospective cohort study is to describe the developmental profile of refraction change in a large cohort of Chinese CC patients. The decisive factors to the range of myopic shift in unilateral CC appeared to be different from that in bilateral CC, indicating dramatic differences in the etiopathogenesis and refractive prognosis between bilateral and unilateral CC.

Read the detailed description

The refractive status is crucial to visual function and may change throughout life. For patients with congenital cataract (CC), the developmental profile of refraction is complicated due to the potential influences of diverse clinical manifestations and various treatments, and has not yet been fully characterized.

The investigator described the developmental profile of refraction change in a large cohort of Chinese CC patients. The decisive factors to the range of myopic shift in unilateral CC appeared to be different from that in bilateral CC, indicating dramatic differences in the etiopathogenesis and refractive prognosis between bilateral and unilateral CC. The refraction data from CC patients provided in the study are of clinical significance to the guidelines for CC treatment, especially for IOL calculation concerning the laterality of CC.

What is being measured

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

  1. The refraction status (presented as spherical equivalent, SE)

    Refractions were conducted with objective retinoscopy and cycloplegia, and performed by experienced optometrists.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 5 May 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 China. 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?

The refraction status (presented as spherical equivalent, SE) (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT02761850, 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 5 May 2016.
