About this study

Official title: Optical Coherence Tomography in Elderly Patients After Elective Orthopaedic Surgery

After obtaining informed consent each patient underwent OCT examination, usually one day before elective orthopaedic surgery (knee replacement). The OCT examination was repeated after the surgery. Both eyes were examined separately. After obtaining data the investigators compared the difference.

Read the detailed description

Inclusion and exclusion criteria evaluated during the pre-anesthesia visit. After obtaining informed consent, patients were referred to OCT examination in the Ophthalmology clinic. The examination was performed in the 48 hours before the surgery. Between the fourth and the seventh postoperative day, the patients underwent control OCT examination. The results of OCT examinations, baseline clinical data and the data on the course of surgery and postoperative care were recorded for further analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optical Coherence Tomography in people with Change; Retina, run by Masaryk Hospital Usti nad Labem.

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 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Retinal changes (time frame: 4.-7. day post 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 NCT04311801, which also lists 3 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 17 Mar 2020.
