About this study

Official title: Long Term Neurobehavioral Effects of Anesthetics and Cochlear Implantation on Infants With Hearing Impairment

The long-term effect of general anesthesia on developing brain is the focus of clinicians when infants exposed to general anesthesia for a long time during operation. A retrospective study showed that children exposed to long-term or repeated operations, the anesthetics had a higher incidence of cognitive impairment in adolescence than those did no. When infants with hearing impairment undergo bilateral cochlear implant surgery, they are at high risk of long-term neurobehavioral abnormalities caused by anesthesia. In this study, investigators intend to observe the long-term behavioral abnormalities of hearing-impaired infants after intravenous or inhalation anesthesia by a ambispective cohort study.

Read the detailed description

Gesell development scale contains five subscales including adaptability, fine motor, gross motor, language, and social skill evaluation. Developmental quotient (DQ) = (development age/actual age)×100. Total DQ is the average of five DQ of subscales. DQ≥86 is normal, 76≤DQ≤85 is suspicious, 55≤DQ≤75 is mild neurological damage, 40≤DQ ≤54 is moderate neurological damage, 25 B DQ B 39 is severe neurological damage, and DQ< 25 is very severe neurological damage.

What is being measured

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

  1. change of Baseline Gesell Developmental Scale after 6 month

    Neurobehavior effects was measured use Gesell Developmental Scale. DQ (Developmental quotient) was calculated by (development age/actual age)×100. Total DQ is the average of five DQ of subscales. DQ≥86 is normal, 76≤DQ≤85 is suspicious, 55≤DQ≤75 is mild neurological damage, 40≤DQ≤54 is moderate neurological damage, 25≤DQ≤39 is severe neurological damage, and DQ <25 is very severe neurological damage

    Measured: change in 6 months after surgery]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Long Term Neurobehavioral Effects, run by Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University at 2 sites 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 7 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 20 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 2 sites 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?

change of Baseline Gesell Developmental Scale after 6 month (time frame: change in 6 months after surgery]). 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 NCT04291274, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Sep 2021.
