About this study

In this prospective study the investigators want to measure the serum level changes of the thyroid hormones (thyroid-stimulating hormone, reverse triiodothyronine, serum free T4), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), testosterone and sexual hormone binding protein (SHBG) in adults undergoing cardiac surgery and search for correlations different psychosocial factors and analyze the influence on the survival and the length of ICU/hospital stay.

Read the detailed description

In this study the investigators want to analyze routinely collected data of patients who underwent any kind of elective cardiac surgery in our university cardiovascular centre between 07.01.2018 and 30.06.2020. The database contains descriptive parameters, history of past illnesses, recent medication. The investigators record the type of surgery, the list of contributory physicians, the length of the surgery and the data of the anaesthesiological report. After the surgery the researchers want to record the postoperative parameters on the ICU ( infusion - fluid balance, blood transfusion, bleeding, main hemodynamic parameters, length of mechanical ventilation,main parameters of arterial blood gas analysis). Moreover th investigators want to collect psychosocial tests (Beck Depression Inventory, State Anxiety Scale, Trait Anxiety Scale and EQ-5D for the measurement of quality of life) to get more information from the postoperative condition of the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of hospital and intensive care unit stay

    The correlation of the measured pre and postoperative endocrine profile and the length of intensive care unit stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The composite of in-hospital death from any cause.

    Any cause of death in current group

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 weeks.

  2. Correlation between preoperative Beck Depression Inventory and the length of hospital stay

    The effect of psychological state of the length of hospital stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 weeks.

  3. Correlation between preoperative State Anxiety Scale and the length of hospital stay

    The effect of psychological state of the length of hospital stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 weeks.

  4. Correlation between preoperative Trait Anxiety Scale and the length of hospital stay

    The effect of psychological state of the length of hospital stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 weeks.

  5. Correlation between preoperative EQ-5D inventory and the length of total hospital stay

    Correlation between the preoperative quality of life state and the hospital stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 weeks.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03736499, which also lists 9 linked publications.

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?
