About this study

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common clinical manifestation of the systemic atherosclerotic process, and the ankle brachial index (ABI) is an ideal tool to diagnose PAD. The association between high serum uric acid levels (SUA) and arterial stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated in humans and uric acid has been suggested to be an important modulator of the inflammatory process. It has also been confirmed by clinical studies. Currently, there have been few long term follow up studies focused on the whether serum uric acid levels combined with ankle brachial index can improve prediction all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality,especially in China population.Therefore, the aim of this study was to elucidate whether ABIcombined with SUA can improve prediction all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in the elderly China population independently of the traditional Framingham Risk Score.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective community-based cohort study, which is aimed to investigate the prognostic factors, including conventional cardiovascular risk factors and measure ABI,SUA,asymptomatic target organ damage, for mortality and cardiovascular diseases. All population were separated into ABI ≤0.50,0.51 <ABI ≤0.9,and 0.91 <ABI≤1.40 three groups according to the ABI. ABI ≤0.9 was selected as cut point for the definition of PAD. Factors related to CVD and all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during follow-up was observed by multivariate Cox regression analysis and log rank test. Potential confounding variables with P <0.10 were adjusted for multivariate analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality

    Cardiovascular events definitions: Hospitalized myocardial infarction was classified as definite or probable based on chest pain symptoms, cardiac enzyme levels, and electrocardiographic findings, or angioplasty28. Coronary heart disease was determined to be present if there was (1) electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of a prior myocardial infarction, (2) prior coronary artery bypass surgery or angioplasty, (3) Coronary angiography show coronary heart disease, (4) have symptoms of angina and ECG revealed myocardial ischemia performance or laboratory tests showed cardiac enzymes increased and exclude other types of disease, (5) a self-reported history of a physician-diagnosed heart attack 29. CHD death was classified "definite" based on chest pain symptoms, hospital records, and medical history.

    Measured: From August 2018 to August 2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ankle Brachial Index, run by Shanghai 10th People's 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 29 Dec 2021. 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?

all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality (time frame: From August 2018 to August 2020). 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 29 Dec 2021.
