About this study

In breast reduction surgery, delayed wound healing may increase surgical site infections, cutaneous necrosis and may be related to psychological harm.Some risk factors have been identified : smoking, diabetes, overweight. A normal healing involve cellular and biochemical reactions in which iron plays an important role such as cellular respiration, redox reactions and regulation of genes involved in the cell cycle. This trial will study the relationship between iron stores and postoperative wound healing after bilateral breast reduction surgery in patients without preoperative anaemia.The primary outcome of this trial is the comparison of wound healing at post operative day 15, between patients with and without iron deficiency.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of good breast tissue healing on each breast

    Good healing is defined as a score of 0, 1 or 2 on a 16 points-specifc scale. The scale evaluate proportion of disunity for periareolar vertical and horizontal incisions

    Measured: 15 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluation of healing on the 16 points specific scale

    Measured: 15 days after surgery

  2. Proportion of early complications

    Measured: up to 15 days after surgery

  3. Proportion of closed drainage orifices

    Measured: 15 days after surgery

  4. Correlation between serum ferritin levels before surgery and score on the healing scale

    Measured: 15 days after surgery

  5. Intra-class correlation coefficient for the healing scale

    Measured: 15 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healing Wound and Iron-deficiency, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 1 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 19 Aug 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 France. 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 Aristide Ntahe (0142495191, aristide.ntahe@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of good breast tissue healing on each breast (time frame: 15 days 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 19 Aug 2020.
