This is a prospective cohort study. The main objective is to compare the prevalence of a "full stomach" using gastric ultrasound technique, in elective surgical patients with diabetes mellitus compared to non-diabetic controls following the present fasting guidelines (2 h after clear liquid and 6h after a light meal).

About this study

Official title: A Cohort Study of Ultrasound Evaluation of Gastric Emptying in Diabetic Patients: a Comparison With Non-diabetic Controls

This is a prospective cohort study. The main objective is to compare the prevalence of a "full stomach" using gastric ultrasound technique, in elective surgical patients with diabetes mellitus compared to non-diabetic controls following the present fasting guidelines (2 h after clear liquid and 6h after a light meal). For patients with a full stomach or intermediate stomach, an consecutive ultrasound scan is performed every 10 min,until empty stomachstomach contents are detected to determine the mean gastric emptying time for clear liquid and light meal, and to investigate the risk factors for delayed stomach emptying in diabetic patients by logistic regression analysis .

Being tested
Fasting 2 h after clear liquid or 6h after a light meal

What participants receive

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

  • Fasting 2 h after clear liquid or 6h after a light mealOther

    The fasting time for all patients is 2 h after clear liquid or 6h after a light meal, then gastric ultrasound examination is performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of full stomach

    The frequency of a "full stomach" in the diabetic population compared to a non-diabetic control population at 2h after ingesting clear liquid or 6h after light meal.

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean gastric emptying time of clear liquid and light meal

    The mean gastric emptying time of clear liquid and light meal in both diabetic and non-diabetic population.

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by West China 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 10 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 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?

Prevalence of full stomach (time frame: one day). 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 NCT03217630, 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 10 Apr 2019.
