Trial summary

This registration enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke within 72 hours after stroke ictus. Patients was identified as first-ever stroke based on past medical histrory. Admission CT was conducted to exclude hemorrhagic stroke, but not those bleeding transformation after ischemia injury. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Baseline Serum Albumin Level and Cognitive Impariment in Mild Acute Ischemic Stroke

This registration enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke within 72 hours after stroke ictus. Patients was identified as first-ever stroke based on past medical histrory. Admission CT was conducted to exclude hemorrhagic stroke, but not those bleeding transformation after ischemia injury. Baseline characteristics, including demographics, vascular risk factors, lab tests and neuroimagings were collected. Patients were followed up for cognitive assessments.

Read the detailed description

This is a perspective stroke registry cohort study. Stroke patients were included if :(1) acute first-ever ischemic stroke and admitted within 72 hours after onset; (2) clinical stroke diagnosis was confirmed with positive diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), those with isolated posterior circulations infarcts were exclude ; (3) presented with mild stroke severity ( admission NIHSS score ≤5); (4) age between 40 and 80 years.

Clinical data including demographic characteristics, risk factors, and baseline NIHSS score were assessed and collected using a standardized table by experienced neurologists. Lab tests were performed with fasting venous blood samples within 18 hours of admission.

Patients were followed up for 6 months. The cognitive functions were assessed using the Chinese version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

Contributing factors to post-stroke cognitive impariment (PSCI) were determined by comparing clinical data between PSCI and non-PSCI groups. All potential confounders were introduced into the multivariate regression models.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cognitive Impairment and Stroke, run by Dongguan People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 24 Oct 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 China. 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?

PSCI (time frame: 6 months post-stroke). 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 24 Oct 2019.
