About this study

Official title: Long-term Effect of Splenectomy on Metabolism, a Retrospective Cohort Study

Metabolic status of patients who had gone through trauma splenectomy between July 2008 and July 2013 were compared to patients who had gone through bowel resection due to obstruction in the same period of time. all patients were followed up for 5-10 years.

Read the detailed description

A list was made of patients who had gone through trauma splenectomy or bowel resection due to bowel obstruction in our center between July 2008 and July 2013. Patients were divided into two groups: trauma splenectomy (exposed group) and bowel resection (unexposed group).

All patients were followed up for 5-10 years. Of the 243 splenectomized patients, 90 patients who met our study criteria were willing to participate. Of 152 patients with bowel resection, 64 were willing to participate. Records of patients at the time of surgery were retrieved from hospital archive of patients' records. Patients were invited to an office meeting for assessment of blood pressure, BMI and a general physical examination and history taking. An appointment was made for drawing blood samples for measurement of lipid profile, Hb A1C and fasting blood sugar.

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Disturbed lipid profile at the time of surgery, 2. Disturbed blood glucose levels at the time of surgery, 3. History of high blood pressure prior to surgery, 4. Use of any hyperglycemogenic agent during the follow up period, 5. BMI>= 25 at the time of surgery, 6. History of diseases potentially affecting blood glucose, e.g. hyperthyroidism, Cushing syndrome, 7. Accidental pancreatic damage during surgery, 8. Resection of >10 cm of small bowel and 9. History of malignancy or radiotherapy (criteria 8 and 9 were specific to unexposed group).

  • Blood sampleDiagnostic test

    Also called BMI and blood pressure measurement

    Blood sample for Hb A1C and lipid profile, blood pressure and BMI

Study groups in NCT03648307
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Trauma splenectomizedPatients who had gone through trauma splenectomy. BMI, lipid profile, blood pressure and glucose tolerance of patients were assessed. Hb A1C and lipid profile were assessed through blood sampling.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Blood sample
Bowel resectionPatients who had gone through bowel resection due to obstruction. BMI, lipid profile, blood pressure and glucose tolerance of patients were assessed. Hb A1C and lipid profile were assessed through blood sampling.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Blood sample

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose tolerance

    Glucose tolerance was assessed by measuring the Hb A1C of the patients in both groups.

    Measured: July 2008- July 2013

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Trauma Splenic, run by Imam Hossein General 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 1 inclusion and 9 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 27 Aug 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?

Glucose tolerance (time frame: July 2008- July 2013). 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 27 Aug 2018.
