Trial summary

This study evaluated the predictive value of β2-microspheres for postoperative delirium (POD) in the elderly after orthopedic surgery. For this purpose, the levels of β2-microspheres in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid were compared between the POD and non-POD groups. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Predictive Value of β2-microspheres for Postoperative Delirium in the Elderly After Orthopedic Surgery

This study evaluated the predictive value of β2-microspheres for postoperative delirium (POD) in the elderly after orthopedic surgery. For this purpose, the levels of β2-microspheres in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid were compared between the POD and non-POD groups.

Read the detailed description

In this study, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of the patients were collected to detect the levels of β2-microspheres before operation. Also, the patients were interviewed one day before the surgery and on postoperative days 1-3 by the Confusion Assessment Method and then divided them into POD and non-POD groups. The aim of the present study was to assess whether higher levels of β2-microspheres could predict the occurrence of POD.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03130231
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
POD groupPOD group refers to the patients who were diagnosed to be delirious by the Confusion Assessment Method.
Non-POD groupNon-POD refered to the patients who did not become delirious by the Confusion Assessment Method.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of POD

    The patients were interviewed one day before the surgery and on postoperative days 1-3 by the Confusion Assessment Method and then divided them into POD and non-POD groups.

    Measured: 4 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The levels of β2-microspheres in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid

    Before surgery, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of the patients were collected to detect the levels of β2-microspheres.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Delirium, run by Zhongda Hospital 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 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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2018. 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 incidence of POD (time frame: 4 days). 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 27 Dec 2018.
