Trial summary

Several score systems were created to stratify perioperative risk and predict mortality. The study rises from the needing of a rapid and simple system to identify the patient worthy of Postoperative Intensive Surveillance. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: POSTOPERATIVE INTENSIVE CARE SURVEILLANCE. A Tool to Optimize ICU-beds Management?

Several score systems were created to stratify perioperative risk and predict mortality. The study rises from the needing of a rapid and simple system to identify the patient worthy of Postoperative Intensive Surveillance. In the first phase Authors retrospectively investigated on patients underwent to elective surgery searching for determining factors (DFs) for postoperative ICU admission. Later, Researchers prospectively studied how DFs could predict the admission in ICU of consecutive patients scheduled for elective surgery during a three-months period and created an index, named PoIS (Post-operative Intensive Surveillance), based on the results of this analysis. Authors used surgical invasiveness (SI), Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Myocardiopathy (MCP), Cerebrovascular Disease (CVD), Body Mass Index (BMI), age, serum creatinine level (sCr), Tiffenau Index (TI) and male sex for the development of the original model. Authors classified SI from G1 (lowest) to G5 (highest).

The results show that the power of prediction of postoperative morbidity of PoIS and POSSUM resulted coincident and better than the American Society of Anesthesiology scoring system.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Post-operative Adhesion(s), run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 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 9 Sep 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 Italy. 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?

Post-operative intensive care surveillance scoring system (time frame: 1 hour after the end of 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.

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 9 Sep 2016.
