About this study

Official title: Predictive Factors of Re-craniotomy and Major Non-neurological Complications in Elective Neurosurgery: A Prospective Cohort Study

This study is a prospective cohort study to find the incidence of re-craniotomy and predictive factors. The secondary outcomes are to find the incidence of major non-neurological complications and predictive factors.

Read the detailed description

Demographic data include age, gender, preoperative neurological assessment, diagnosis, operation, surgical position, ASA physical status, dexamethasone requirement, anticonvulsant therapy, airway assessment, and blood component reservation.

Intraoperative information contain anesthetic technique, total dosage of propofol, fentanyl, and other anesthetic agents, total blood loss, types and amount of fluid replacement, volume of blood transfusion, latest body temperature, and the ability of safe extubation.

Postoperative complications will be categorized in to general conditions, neurological complications, and systemic problems. General conditions such as on endotracheal tube overnight and postoperative blood transfusion. Neurological complications include worsen increased ICP, intracranial hematoma, seizures, newly-developed motor deficit, cranial nerve palsy, CSF rhinorrhea, and emergency re-craniotomy. Systemic problems are hypothermia, electrolyte imbalance, anemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Postoperative nausea and vomiting and the rescued anti-emetic drugs will be recorded. Postoperative anti-epileptic drug (AED) and pain medication will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. re-craniotomy

    number of participants who required re-craniotomy assessed by the neurosurgeon

    Measured: the first 24 hours

  2. predictive factors of re-craniotomy

    types of perioperative factors to predict the occurrence of re-craniotomy

    Measured: the first 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incidence of major non-neurological complications

    number of participants who develop any major systemic complications

    Measured: the first 24 hours

  2. predictive factors of major non-neurological complications

    types of predictive factors to predict the occurrence of major non-neurological complications

    Measured: the first 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Tumor and Brain Metastases, run by Chiang Mai University.

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 2 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 12 Apr 2019. 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?

re-craniotomy (time frame: the first 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Apr 2019.
