About this study

Retrospective observational study on the effects of altering components of RCRI to improve the predictive capacity.

Read the detailed description

The current Lee's Revised cardiac risk index (RCRI) was created in 1999. Validation studies have found RCRI to be only moderately discriminant. The "Diabetes Mellitus on insulin" component of the score does not accurately reflect the severity of the disease. A previously studied HbA1C:Hemoglobin ratio shows an improved association with outcomes than individual components alone and could be potentially used as a new marker for severity of the disease.

A retrospective cohort study was performed in consecutive diabetic patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Ethics approval was obtained. The objective of the study is to compare the predictive value of RCRI and substitution of the "DM on insulin" component with HH ratio for 30- and 90-day mortality, and postoperative acute myocardial injury(AMI) and acute kidney injury(AKI).

    The objective of the study is to compare the predictive value of RCRI and substitution of the "DM on insulin" component with HH ratio for 30- and 90-day mortality, and postoperative acute myocardial injury(AMI) and acute kidney injury(AKI).

What is being measured

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

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Morbidity

    To compare the predictive value of RCRI and substitution of the "DM on insulin" component with HH ratio for postoperative acute myocardial injury(AMI) and acute kidney injury(AKI).

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Risk Stratification and Perioperative Medicine, run by Singapore General 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 0 inclusion and 3 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 4 Oct 2021. 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: 90 days). 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 4 Oct 2021.
