About this study

This study aims to investigate Serum Tenascin C levels in patients with acute symptoms relating to a known or newly diagnosed aortic aneurysm in emergency department and reveals the possible role of Tenascin C in the development of the disease.

Read the detailed description

Patients with acute and chronic aortic disease /survivors and non-survivors were compared. Further subgroup analysis on the characteristics of the aneurysm and patients were performed. The aneurysms (ruptured and dissected) were divided according to the style of the Stanford classification,according to the location of the pathology in aneurysms of the ascending thoracic aorta .the descending thoracic aorta, or the abdominal aorta.The subgroup were divided according to the extent of propagation of the disease (rupture,covered rupture, acute dissection, chronic dissection and ectasia). Rupture was defined by direct visualisation of the discontinuity of the aortic wall by computed tomography, sonography, intraoperative findings or at autopsy with detection of blood in the pleural, pericardial or abdominal cavity. Covert rupture was defined as an intramural haematoma without detection of free blood in the body cavities. Acute dissection was defined when blood separating the layers of the aortic media was newly diagnosed. Chronic dissection was defined as the absence of any visible propagation of a known dissection compared to preexisting examinations. Ectatic aneurysm was defined as a permanent localised dilatation of the aorta with a diameter of at least 50% greater than normal. Documentation of the surgical interventions and autopsy reports was used to confirm the diagnosis. In all patients the investigators collected the history, age of the patients, duration of pain, blood pressure at admission and laboratory parameters (haematocrit, creatinine) and Tenascin C Serum levels after admission to our emergency department immediately. The patients were followed up until hospital discharge and the outcome (survived/died) was recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. The level of serum tenascin-C

    serum tenascin-C in ng/ml was measured by elasia

    Measured: lesser than 48hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Characteristics of enrolled subjects

    age in years,sex,IBM in kg/m^2 and associated history was collected

    Measured: lesser than 48hours

  2. The level of D-D,C-reactive protein,elastic protein fragment

    The level of D-D in ng/ml,C-reactive proteinin ng/ml,elastic protein fragmentin ng/ml was measured by elasia

    Measured: lesser than 48hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Dissection, run by Central South 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiangping Chai, M.D. (+86-13787204259, laochaicn@aliyun.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The level of serum tenascin-C (time frame: lesser than 48hours). 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 29 Jun 2016.
