About this study

Official title: 白内障超声乳化术对2型糖尿病患者角膜内皮细胞的影响 Corneal Endothelial Cell Changes After Phacoemulsification in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This study investigate the change of the corneal endothelial cells in patients with type 2 diabetes after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation.

Read the detailed description

The investigators do the clinical prospective study including 30 patients with type 2 diabetes and 30 control patients without diabetes scheduled to undergo cataract surgery. The corneal endothelial cell density, variation in endothelial cell size (CV), percentage of hexagonal cells, and central corneal thickness(CCT) were recorded at baseline and at 3 months postoperatively.Then, the investigators compared the two sets of data. At last observing the change of the corneal endothelial cells in patients with type 2 diabetes after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the corneal endothelial cell density before-after cataract surgery

    Comparison of the corneal endothelial cell density before-after cataract surgery,the density is expressed in terms of the number of cells per square millimeter.

    Measured: half year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Comparison of the endothelial cell size before-after cataract surgery

    Comparison of the endothelial cell size before-after cataract surgery,the size is measured in square microns.

    Measured: half year

  2. Comparison of the percentage of hexagonal cells before-after cataract surgery

    Comparison of the percentage of hexagonal cells before-after cataract surgery,the percentage are expressed as "%".

    Measured: half year

  3. Comparison of the central corneal thickness(CCT) before-after cataract surgery

    Comparison of the central corneal thickness(CCT) before-after cataract surgery,the thickness is in microns.

    Measured: half year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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 24 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Comparison of the corneal endothelial cell density before-after cataract surgery (time frame: half year). 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 24 Aug 2017.
