Trial summary

With the development of population aging, the incidence of covert stroke gradually increased. Currently, there is still lack of prospective cohort study with large sample size on the relationship between perioperative covert stroke and postoperative cognitive outcomes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Cohort Study of Perioperative Covert Stroke and Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Elderly Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery

With the development of population aging, the incidence of covert stroke gradually increased. Currently, there is still lack of prospective cohort study with large sample size on the relationship between perioperative covert stroke and postoperative cognitive outcomes. The investigators will perform a prospective cohort study. The aim of the study is to determine whether there is an association between perioperative covert stroke and postoperative cognitive outcomes in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of perioperative stroke

    Stroke is diagnosed by MRI

    Measured: Postoperative 1-7 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Postoperative cognitive function

    Cognitive assessment will be conducted by trained research members who are blinded to the clinical diagnosis, treatment and MRI. The Mini-mental State Examination, Montreal cognitive assessment-basic, Mini-Mental State Examination telephone scales, Montreal Cognitive Assessment telephone scales, and Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status scale will be used to assess the cognitive function. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is defined as at least 2 standard deviation reduction on the Mini-Mental State Examination telephone scales or Montreal Cognitive Assessment telephone scales or a Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status scale scores≤27.

    Measured: 1 day before surgery; and 7 days, 3 months, 1 year after surgery

  2. Postoperative delirium

    The Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit scale (CAM-ICU) or 3 min diagnostic interview for CAM (3D-CAM) will be applied to assess delirium.

    Measured: twice a day (from 8:00 to 10:00 and from 18:00 to 20:00) during the first postoperative 5 days

  3. Recovery quality

    The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Lawton instrumental activities of daily living scale (IADL) will be applied to assess the recovery quality.

    Measured: 1 day before surgery; and 7 days, 30 days, 3 months after surgery

  4. The quality of life

    The quality of life will be assessed with the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) scale.

    Measured: 1 day before surgery; and 7 days, 30 days, 3 months after surgery

  5. Depression state

    Depression state will be assessed with the Geriatric Depression Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and Patient Health Questionnaire-9.

    Measured: 1 day before surgery; and 7 days, 30 days, 3 months after surgery

  6. The incidence of comorbidity.

    The incidence of myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, surgical site infection and persistent postoperative pain.

    Measured: 30 days and 3 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia and Covert Stroke, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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 incidence of perioperative stroke (time frame: Postoperative 1-7 days). 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 NCT03081429, 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 12 Aug 2024.
