About this study

Official title: Behavioral Assessment of Preschool Children Who Had Undergone General Surgery in Early Infancy

This study will investigate the behavior of preschool children who had undergone general surgery during early infancy and will correlate the behavioral outcomes with clinical perioperative variables.

Read the detailed description

Several epidemiologic and observational studies found the relation between surgery in childhood and neurodevelopmental features in later life. However, these studies are criticized for retrospective design, non homogenous population, social confounders, diversity of surgical procedures and anesthetic management.

Monitoring of neurological function has become standard during surgical procedures at risk for neuronal injury (e.g. cardiac surgery). There is also some data on possible predictive value of certain methods of neuromonitoring (such as cerebral near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)) for neurodevelopmental outcome.

General neonatal/infant surgery and the whole perioperative period carry the risk of significant physiologic disturbances, which may affect cerebral perfusion, oxygenation or metabolism. This study is the continuum of prospective observational trial, which investigated the value of the neuromonitoring measures in neonates and young infants undergoing general surgery. The present study will apply the behavioral assessment of these patients who are now between 2 and 5 years of age.

What participants receive

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

  • QuestionaireOther

    Also called Child behavior checklist

    Child behavior checklist is a questionaire, designed to evaluate 1.5-5 years old child's behavior. The checklist is filled out by parents/caregivers.

What is being measured

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

  1. abnormal behavioral outcome as assessed by CBCL

    the number of children with one or more abnormal behavioral domains

    Measured: 2 to 5 year after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Child Behavior and Anesthesia, run by Lithuanian University of Health Sciences at 1 site in Lithuania.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 26 Jul 2019. 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 Lithuania. 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?

abnormal behavioral outcome as assessed by CBCL (time frame: 2 to 5 year after surgery). 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 26 Jul 2019.
