About this study

Official title: Periinterventional Outcome Study in the Elderly (POSE): European, Multi-centre, Prospective Observational Cohort Study

The POSE study will predict critical stages and outcome in a large sample of all surgical and non-surgical interventional patients ≥80 years of age in Europe.

Read the detailed description

Elderly population (≥80 years) will increase from 5.3% of the total population in 2015 to 9% in 2040. This implies an increasing number and variety of surgical and non-surgical interventional procedures. Little is known about the in-hospital mortality rates in the overall elderly interventional population. Compared with younger interventional patients, the elderly are at greater risk of peri-interventional mortality and morbidity, because of decline in physiological and cognitive reserve, and frequent comorbidities. Previous data are mostly limited to specific populations, like the elderly hip fracture patient.

The investigators aim to recruit as many as possible centers throughout Europe, to participate in this study. A total sample size of 7500 patients will provide reasonable and valid results for the study aims. The primary endpoint will be analysed by fitting a COX-Regression model to the data of the post-interventional mortality until day 30.

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 5 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 20 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 177 sites in France, Germany, Greece, Turkey (Türkiye), Spain and 15 more countries. 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?

Peri-interventional (surgical and non-surgical interventional) all-cause mortality rate on day 30 (time frame: From intervention until day 30.). 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 NCT03152734, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 20 Nov 2019.
