About this study

Official title: The Effect of Residual Gastric Antrum Size During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Reducing Postoperative Gastrointestinal Symptoms: a Cohort Study

This is a prospective cohort study, which subjects were obese patients requiring LSG surgery. LSG with different gastric resection starting points (2-4cm/4-6 cm from pylorus) as intervention method. The main observation is the incidence and extent of upper gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, retching, reflux, difficulty swallowing, etc.).In addition, secondary observations include the excess weight loss (%EWL) and postoperative complications. Aim to investigate the effects of LSG surgery in different starting points of gastric resection on postoperative upper gastrointestinal symptoms.

Being tested
4-6cm from starting point of gastrectomy to pylorus, 2-4cm from starting point of gastrectomy to pylorus
Keywords
metabolic surgery, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

What participants receive

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

  • 4-6cm from starting point of gastrectomy to pylorusProcedure or surgery

    The starting point of gastrectomy of the distance from the pylorus is 4-6cm during operative.

  • 2-4cm from starting point of gastrectomy to pylorusProcedure or surgery

    The starting point of gastrectomy of the distance from the pylorus is 2-4cm during operative.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence rate of upper gastrointestinal symptoms after surgery

    We use three scales to evaluate the incidence of upper gastrointestinal symptoms,include the Chinese translation of R-INVR(the Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching)、EAT-10(Validity and Reliability of the Eating Assessment Tool) and GIS(GERD impact serve).These three scales describe postoperative upper gastrointestinal symptoms,which include vomiting, dysphagia,and acid reflux,heartburn.We focus on the incidence rate of the above symptoms in one year after surgery during 1 year.

    Visit: Post-op 12 months Visit(±7 Days)

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The excess weight loss (%EWL) after surgery

    Percent excess weight loss (%EWL), %EWL=[(initial weight)-(post-op weight)]/[(initial weight)-(ideal weight)] (in which "ideal weight" is defined by the weight corresponding to a BMI of 25 kg/m2).

    Visit 1: Baseline Visit (Day 0-1) Visit 2: Post-op 3 days Visit Visit 3: Post-op 7 days Visit Visit 4: Post-op 1 month Visit(±3 Days) Visit 5: Post-op 3 months Visit(±7 Days) Visit 6: Post-op 12 months Visit(±7 Days)

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

  2. the rate of postoperative complications after surgery

    Postoperative complications including but not limited to: 1, abdominal bleeding; 2, gastrointestinal bleeding; 3, intestinal obstruction; 4, digestive tract leakage 5, anastomotic stenosis / gastric stenosis; 6, death ,etc.

    Visit 1: Baseline Visit (Day 0-1) Visit 2: Post-op 3 days Visit Visit 3: Post-op 7 days Visit Visit 4: Post-op 1 month Visit(±3 Days) Visit 5: Post-op 3 months Visit(±7 Days) Visit 6: Post-op 12 months Visit(±7 Days)

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

  3. The extent of upper gastrointestinal symptoms after surgery

    We use three scales to evaluate the incidence of upper gastrointestinal symptoms,include the Chinese translation of R-INVR(the Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching)、EAT-10(Validity and Reliability of the Eating Assessment Tool) and GIS(GERD impact serve).These three scales quantify the degree of vomiting, difficulty swallowing, acid reflux, heartburn, etc.We will calculate the extent of the above upper gastrointestinal symptoms at five time points in one year after surgery.

    Visit 1: Post-op 3 days Visit Visit 2: Post-op 7 days Visit Visit 3: Post-op 1 month Visit(±3 Days) Visit 4: Post-op 3 months Visit(±7 Days) Visit 5: Post-op 12 months Visit(±7 Days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, run by Beijing Friendship 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 2 inclusion and 10 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 22 Apr 2020. 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?

The incidence rate of upper gastrointestinal symptoms after surgery (time frame: 1 year after surgery). 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 NCT03629808, 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 22 Apr 2020.
