About this study

Official title: To Evaluate the Incidence of Artifacts in the Locally Developed AIMS Database.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the incidence of artifacts in the developed AIMS database

Read the detailed description

At first, the authors evaluated the accuracy of the traditional, manually completed paper-based documentation, which sets a benchmark for the accuracy that the electronic documentation and database provides.

At the second portion, the investigators used the paper-based documentation as a standard to compare the electronic documentation. The incidence of artifact was double checked by two investigators.

At the third portion, the authors calculated the artifact incidence in the AIMS database, using paper based and electric document anesthesia records as the standard respectively.

Being tested
paper-based anesthesia record, electronic documents
Keywords
Artifacts, anesthesia information management system

What participants receive

Study groups in NCT03814941
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
paper-based anesthesia recordThe AIMS sampled the vital signs from the monitor every minute and stored in the database. The incidence of artifacts in the AIMS database was evaluated by paper-based documented anesthesia record.
Receives: Other: paper-based anesthesia record
electronic documentsThe AIMS sampled the vital signs from the monitor every minute and stored in the database. The incidence of artifacts in the AIMS database was evaluated by electric documented anesthesia record.

What is being measured

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

  1. percentage of artifacts

    to evaluate how many percentage of artifacts for each of the included parameters

    Measured: intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. deviating values

    to calculate the number of values deviating from the predefined baseline value

    Measured: intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)

  2. percentage of devotional artifacts

    to evaluate how many percentage of the deviations are artifacts

    Measured: intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)

  3. episodes of artifacts

    to find out the average of number of episodes across each artifact

    Measured: intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)

  4. causes of artifacts

    to find out the cause of the artifact and respective percentage

    Measured: intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Artifacts and Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems, run by Mackay Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 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 15 Mar 2023. 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 Taiwan. 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?

percentage of artifacts (time frame: intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)). 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 NCT03814941, which also lists 3 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Mar 2023.
