Trial summary

Postoperative Delirium (POD) is a common complication in patients after cardiac surgery, which is associated with short-term prognosis and long-term quality of life. Due to the lack of specific treatment, prevention is the most effective strategy to reduce delirium. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study on Visual Assessment System and Stratified Management Program for Postoperative Delirium After Cardiac Surgery

Postoperative Delirium (POD) is a common complication in patients after cardiac surgery, which is associated with short-term prognosis and long-term quality of life. Due to the lack of specific treatment, prevention is the most effective strategy to reduce delirium. Risk assessment greatly contributes to guide prevention by stratifying the risk of the POD. However, the high-quality risk assessment tools are still sparse, and the combination of risk assessment and stratified prevention has not been applied to the management of delirium after cardiac surgery. In the previous work, we found the predictive value of preoperative cardiac function on POD, and found a critical value. On the basis of previous research, this project will learn from previous studies on risk factors of POD, and deeply explore potential predictors. Furthermore, we will develop and validate POD risk prediction model, and then develop it into a visual evaluation system. In addition, based on the theory of risk management and risk assessment tools, using the concepts and methods of evidence-based medicine, the risk assessment system and stratified management program of POD will be formed and evaluated by expert discussion meetings. It is expected that the risk assessment system and stratified management program constructed by this project could simply and quickly screen high-risk patients and carry out timely intervention, so as to reduce the incidence of POD, improve patients' prognosis and the quality of life after cardiac surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of postoperative delirium

    Investigators defined patients have delirium if they had at least one positive screening during ICU stay.

    Measured: up to 5 days postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Severity of postoperative delirium

    Assess by CAM-ICU-7 if CAM-ICU is positive. Categorized as no delirium: 0-2, mild to moderate delirium: 3-5, and severe delirium: 6-7

    Measured: up to 5 days postoperatively

  2. duration of postoperative delirium

    Defined as time (in days) from the first positive CAM-ICU until the beginning of two consecutive days of negative CAM-ICU.

    Measured: up to 5 days postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Delirium, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 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?

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?

Incidence of postoperative delirium (time frame: up to 5 days postoperatively). 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 26 Aug 2020.
