About this study

This study was designed to quantify the incidence of hyponatremia in patients of supratentorial/supra-sellar lesions and observe their effect on neurological morbidity and mortality.

Read the detailed description

Disorders of sodium and water balance are one of the commonly encountered problems while managing patients with neurological diseases. Managing such problems are challenging because the pathophysiology behind these disorders are complex and poorly understood and treatment of the injured brain itself can contribute to, and complicate the diagnosis of sodium disorders. Serum sodium disturbance can manifest as hypernatremia or hyponatremia. Hypernatremia usually occurs in the diabetes insipidus syndrome, whereas hyponatremia develops as a syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) or cerebral salt-wasting syndrome (CSWS).

Because of the cerebral effects of hyponatremia, neurosurgical patients are at increased risk of complications including severe cerebral edema, mental status changes, seizures, vasospasm, and death.

Though the problem of hyponatremia has been addressed in patients with different brain pathologies, this has not been studied in patients with non-sellar/suprasellar supratentorial tumors. This study was envisioned to quantify the incidence and magnitude of hyponatremia in this patient population and their subsequent neurological morbidity and mortality.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    To observe relationship between hyponatremia in supratentorial tumor patients and in-hospital mortality.

    Measured: From date of admission to hospital to date of Discharge from hospital or Death in hospital, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years from date of admission.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of hospital stay

    To observe relationship between hyponatremia in supratentorial tumor patients and duration of hospital stay.

    Measured: From date of admission to hospital to date of Discharge from hospital or Death in hospital, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years from date of admission.

  2. Rate of admission in intensive care unit.

    To observe relationship between hyponatremia in supratentorial tumor patients and rate of admission in intensive care unit.

    Measured: From date of admission to hospital to date of Discharge from hospital or Death in hospital, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years from date of admission.

  3. Neurological deficits

    To observe relationship between hyponatremia in supratentorial tumor patients and incidence of neurological deficits.

    Measured: From date of admission to hospital to date of Discharge from hospital or Death in hospital, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years from date of admission.

  4. Seizures

    To observe relationship between hyponatremia in supratentorial tumor patients and incidence of seizures.

    Measured: From date of admission to hospital to date of Discharge from hospital or Death in hospital, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years from date of admission.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Supratentorial Brain Tumor, run by National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences, India.

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 26 Jun 2018. 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?

Mortality (time frame: From date of admission to hospital to date of Discharge from hospital or Death in hospital, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years from date of admission.). 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 26 Jun 2018.
