About this study

The aim of the present study is the evaluation of the occurrence and effect of hepatic dysfunction on outcome following cardiac surgery, as well as the monitoring of changes in liver haemodynamics in the early postoperative period.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, consecutive study of patients undergoing cardiac surgery in Heart and Vascular Center, Semmelweis University, Budapest.

Registered data:

  • Anamnestic and demographic data
  • Liver dysfunction prior surgery, etiology of liver dysfunction
  • Perioperative clinical data: laboratory tests, imaging, haemodynamic measures
  • risk prediction score of the American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA), EUROpean System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroScore), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II), Canadian Cardiovascular Society grading of angina pectoris (CCS)
  • Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), MELD excluding International Normalised Ratio (INR) (MELD-XI), modified MELD score (modMELD), Child-Pugh

The occurrence and etiology pattern of hepatic impairment are going to be evaluated according to age and type of cardiac illness. Correlations between perioperative haemodynamical alterations and structural, functional changes in hepatic status will be investigated.

The impact of hepatic impairment on surgical outcome is going to be examined by multivariate regression models.

What is being measured

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

  1. The composite of in-hospital death of any cause

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  2. Length of hospital stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  3. Length of ICU stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Evidence of clinically definite postoperative decline in hepatic function

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  2. Need for reoperation due to bleeding or cardiac cause

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  3. Evidence of clinically definite postoperative pulmonary or systemic congestion

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  4. Evidence of clinically definite postoperative low cardiac output syndrome

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  5. Evidence of clinically definite postoperative acute kidney injury and the need for dialysis

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  6. Evidence of clinically definite postoperative impaired coagulation

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Surgery and Hepatic Impairment, run by Semmelweis University Heart and Vascular Center at 1 site in Hungary.

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 6 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 11 Jan 2022. 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 Hungary. 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 Andrea Székely, MD, PhD (+36206632243, andi_szekely@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The composite of in-hospital death of any cause (time frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Jan 2022.
