About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Periodontitis and Atherosclerotic-related Arterial Stenosis in the Chinese Population

This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis and atherosclerosis of the cerebral vasculature in the Chinese population.

Read the detailed description

Periodontitis has been demonstrated as a risk factor for ischaemic stroke in several clinical studies. Atherosclerosis of the cerebral vasculatureis an important pathological process causing ischaemic stroke. The investigator's study aims to investigate the relationship between tooth loss(used as a surrogate of periodontal disease) and atherosclerotic-related arterial stenosis in the Chinese population. An estimated 1,000 participants that underwent cerebral angiography at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine between Apirl 2020 and January 2022 will be recruited in this trial. Arterial stenosis features of each participants will be collected based on the results of digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The missing teeth counts of each participant will be collected and some of them will recieved comprehensive periodontal examination. Besides, blood samples will be collected in order to investigate the serum inflammatory markers(CRP,WBC,albumin,IL-6,IL-10). The relationship between tooth loss and atherosclerotic-related arterial stenosis will be analysed by regression models adjusted for conventional risk factors (sex,age, obesity,smoking,Alcohol drinking,diabetes,hypertension,hyperuricaemia,hyperhomocysteinaemia)

What is being measured

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

  1. The relationship between atherosclerotic-related stenosis in different brain arteries and tooth loss categories

    The arteries of the brains will be partitioned into the following segments: common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid arteries (ICA, C1-C7), the external carotid artery (ECA), the anterior cerebral artery (ACA, A1-A2), the middle cerebral artery (MCA, M1-M2), the posterior cerebral artery (PCA), the basilar artery (BA), the vertebral artery (VA,V1-V4) and the subclavicular artery (SUB) .The chi-square test and Fisher's exact test will be used, as appropriate, to estimate the relationship between tooth loss and stenosis distributed in different branches

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The relationship between the severity of artery stenosis and tooth loss categories

    The degree of vascular stenosis will be categorized into five group: no stenosis, mild stenosis, moderate stenosis, severe stenosis and occlusion. Ordinal logistic regression will be performed to analyse the relationship between the tooth loss categories and the degrees of artery stenosis.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atherosclerosis of Artery, run by Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 11 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Jianwen Guo, MD (13724899379, jianwen_guo@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The relationship between atherosclerotic-related stenosis in different brain arteries and tooth loss categories (time frame: 1 day). 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 11 Mar 2020.
