About this study

Official title: The Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Respiratory Functions and Quality of Life Following Coronial Artery Bypass Grafting: a Randomized Controlled Trial

In this study, the effect of a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program on the respiratory function and quality of life of patients undergoing CABG surgery with an open-heart technique is examined. A randomized controlled experimental design was used. The study was conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=25) and control group (n=25). The control group received standard care after CABG. In contrast, the experimental group, in addition to standard care, participated in a PR program created by the researchers. After CABG, the respiratory functions of both groups (clinical care day 4) and quality of life (6th week) evaluated

What is being measured

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

  1. The Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)

    A diagnostic criterion used to identify patients with or at risk of pulmonary dysfunction. The PFT assessment was performed using the NDD Easy on-PC spirometer. During this test, challenging expiratory volume (FEV1 % (>80)), challenging vital capacity (FVC % (>80)), FEV1/FVC ( %, >80) ratio, and Peak Expiratory air pressure (PEF % (>100)) were measured in the first second. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the hospital preoperatively.

    Measured: Preoperative day

  2. The Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) Change

    A diagnostic criterion used to identify patients with or at risk of pulmonary dysfunction. The PFT assessment was performed using the NDD Easy on-PC spirometer. During this test, challenging expiratory volume (FEV1 % (>80)), challenging vital capacity (FVC % (>80)), FEV1/FVC ( %, >80) ratio, and Peak Expiratory air pressure (PEF % (>100)) were measured in the first second. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the hospital preoperatively. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the 4th day of clinical care.

    Measured: 4th day of clinical care

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)

    The points given vary between 0-100; 0 points indicate bad health and 100 points indicate that health is progressing in a good direction.

    Measured: preoperative day

  2. The Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Change

    The points given vary between 0-100; 0 points indicate bad health and 100 points indicate that health is progressing in a good direction.

    Measured: postoperative sixth week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pulmonary rehabilitation in people with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, run by Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 12 inclusion and 12 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 2 Jan 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

The Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) (time frame: Preoperative day). 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 2 Jan 2020.
