About this study

Official title: Shrunken Pore Syndrome's Effect on Mortality in Elective Cardiac Surgery

To study the impact a difference in renal clearance of small and large molecules has on long-term survival.

Read the detailed description

Renal dysfunction is considered a major risk factor in cardiac surgery. Renal function has earlier been estimated by creatinine and more recently by cystatin C, both of which are analysed in a blood sample. New evidence seems to suggest that if the ratio between estimated renal function from cystatin C and creatinine is below 60% the patient has a higher rate of mortality irrespective of renal function. This syndrome is named Shrunken Pore Syndrome.

We study patients whom have undergone elective cardiac surgery at our institution and on whom we before the surgery has collected blood samples. They are all included in our in house patient registry and qulaity database and afterwards we match this data to our national tax registry to get data on mortality.

Our aim is to evaluate whether Shrunken Pore Syndrome influence mortality following elective cardiac surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Diseases, run by Henrik Bjursten at 1 site in Sweden.

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 1 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 21 Sep 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 Sweden. 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?

Mortality during follow up (time frame: 1 January 2010 - 1 January 2019). 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 NCT04141072, which also lists 4 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 21 Sep 2021.
