About this study

Introduction: With the increase of the elderly population, the number of elderly patients undergoing surgery is increasing, and postoperative delirium is 11-51% depending on the type of surgery. In recent cohort studies have shown that delirium might reduce cognitive function and develop dementia.

Since delirium is difficult to treat, the key to treatment is prevention, and about 40% is prevented when prophylactic intervention is applied. However, delirium is difficult to diagnose and difficult to predict, therefore, biomarkers are needed to diagnose and prevention.

Exosome and brain efficiency test(electroencephalogram, and pulse wave test) have the potential of simple biomarkers that can diagnose postoperative delirium and predict cognitive decline.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors affecting delirium in the elderly who have spinal surgery and to search for biomarkers of delirium for early detection and prevention of delirium.

What is being measured

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

  1. Exosomes in Urine: Differences in Gene Expression

    • Gene expression and expression comparison in exosomes The gene expression difference is determined using the SAM tool and DEseq2, and the Gene Ontology (GO) Database (www.geneontology.org) and the KEGG database (www.genome.jp/kegg) are used to find the correlation between gene functions.

    In the case of miRNA, there will be a regulatory function of the coding gene, so for this purpose, an integrative analysis is performed to identify the mRNA-miRNA interaction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Disease, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2021. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bon-Nyeo Koo, MD, PhD (82-2-2228-2422, koobn@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Exosomes in Urine: Differences in Gene Expression (time frame: Just before surgery). The study lists 9 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 7 Jun 2021.
