About this study

Official title: The Association Between Preoperative Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Variables and Short-term Postoperative Morbidity Following Oesophagectomy: a Hospital-based Cohort Study

A retrospective hospital-based cohort study of the association between preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPEX) variables and short-term postoperative morbidity following oesophagectomy.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to examine the correlations between preoperative CPEX variables (VO2max and Anaerobic Threshold) and 30 day postoperative all cause morbidity in a sample large enough to allow (should significant associations exist) calculation of a threshold value. Secondary aims are to examine associations between the VO2max, AT and cardiopulmonary, non-cardiopulmonary complications as well as specific complications (atrial fibrillation, pneumonia, and anastomotic leak) as well as 30 and 90 day mortality.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oesophageal Cancer, run by University of East Anglia at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 25 Apr 2019. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

All cause postoperative morbidity (time frame: 30 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 25 Apr 2019.
