About this study

Official title: Analysis of Medication Data With the ApoMining-Database - - A Retrospective Analysis of Data From BioCog Study

The primary objective of this study is to analyse medication data from the BioCog Study with the ApoMining-Database and to determine the positive and negative predictive value from the ApoMining-Database for prediction of postoperative delirium (POD).

Read the detailed description

From 2014-2017 the BioCog Study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02265263) collected data from 439 perioperative elderly patients in Campus Virchow - Klinikum, Universitätsmedizin Berlin. According to the study protocol, a delirium assessment was performed each day after operation until the 7th postoperative day. At this time, it is known which patients developed postoperative delirium (POD) and which did not. Additionally, from each patient data on long-term medication before operation and applied medication during operation and in the recovery room were collected. In this study, the investiagtors analyse the long-term medication and the perioperative medication from BioCog-Study patients with the ApoMining-Database (http://www.apothesen.de/index.php?id=878; ApoThesenGmbH; Bad Münstereifel; Germany). The ApoMining-Database is a medication database, which analyse tolerability and risks of medications for the elderly. The database generates a hit once a medication reveal a risk for delirium. Additionally, the database can calculate the anticholinergic burden of the medication according to the prescribing information. Whereas the investigators already know, which patient developed a POD, they will determine positive and negative predictive value from the ApoMining-Database for prediction of postoperative delirium.

What is being measured

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

  1. Positive predictive value of postoperative delirium

    Positive predictive value of the application of the ApoMining-Database for prediction of postoperative Delirium (the prediction of delirium by Apomining data base compared to occurence of Delirium in BioCog study)

    Measured: Up to 7 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Negative predictive value of postoperative delirium

    Negative predictive value of the application of the ApoMining-Database for prediction of postoperative delirium.

    Measured: Up to 7 days after surgery

  2. Cholinesterase activity

    Cholinesterase activity is assessed by Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase within the BioCog study

    Measured: Before surgery, one day after surgery, 3 months after surgery

  3. Delirium

    Delirium is defined within the BioCog study: according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) and/or as ≥ 2 cumulative points in the nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC) and/or a positive Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) and/or Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) score and/or patient chart review that shows descriptions of delirium.

    Measured: Up to 7 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Delirium, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 18 May 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 Germany. 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?

Positive predictive value of postoperative delirium (time frame: Up to 7 days after surgery). 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 18 May 2018.
