Trial summary

Surgical delay in severe endocardits, with neurological complications, is still debated. Early surgery, if indicated, permits to avoid new embolic events, or to fix valvular damages, but can create or increase a cerebral hemorrage. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Cardiac Surgery in Severe Left Endocarditis With Neurological Complications: a Multicentric,Retrospective, Propensity-score Matching Study

Surgical delay in severe endocardits, with neurological complications, is still debated. Early surgery, if indicated, permits to avoid new embolic events, or to fix valvular damages, but can create or increase a cerebral hemorrage.

Hypothesis Cardiac surgery, as soon as possible, if indicated, would reduce mortality, in severe left endocarditis, with neurological complications.

Primary objective To assess the impact of early versus late cardiac surgery on mortality at 1 year, in patients with severe endocarditis, with neurological complications.

Primary endpoint:

  1. Mortality at 1 year

Secondary endpoints:

  1. Analyze the factors associated with neurological degradation
  2. Evaluate the neurological tolerance of cardiac surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cardiac surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Cardiac surgery, if indicated, delayed or not by neurological complications

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    Death from any cause

    Measured: at 1 year after the diagnosis of endocarditis

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Neurogical tolerance

    Modified Rankin score after cardiac surgery, 0 (no symptoms at all) to 6 (death)

    Measured: At 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endocarditis and Neurologic Complication, run by Gros, Alexandre, M.D..

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 4 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 19 May 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?

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?

Mortality (time frame: at 1 year after the diagnosis of endocarditis). 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 May 2020.
