About this study

Official title: Postoperative Delirium and Its Biomarkers in Elderly Patients Undergoing Non-cardiac and Non-neurosurgery: a Prospective Cohort Study.

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in elderly patients and is associated with negative clinical outcomes, such as prolonged hospitalizations, cognitive impairment, and higher mortality rate. While the pathophysiology of delirium remains unknown, the cerebral hypoperfusion and neuroinflammatory response are considered to play an important role in the process of POD. The aim of the study is to determine the association between POD and biomarkers in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac and non-neurological surgery.

Being tested
The regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), The brain-derived-neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
Medical subject headings
Emergence Delirium

What participants receive

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

  • The regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2)Other

    Measurement of rSO2 with non-invasive near-infrared light spectrum monitor. The average, left and right frontal regions absolute rSO2 values will be collected every 30 seconds during the whole surgery until postoperative 2 hours, and the mean values will be calculated. Absolute rSO2 value and AUT (area under the threshold) send beneath the absolute threshold limits of 40%, 50% and 20%, 30% under the baseline. AUT will be calculated based on this formula: AUT (present)=AUT (past)+(rSO2 threshold-rSO2 value)×sample rate

  • The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)Other

    Venous blood sample will be collected and tested for plasma GFAP. The blood will be collected 10 minutes before anesthesia, 30 minutes after intubation, every hour during operation, 15 minutes after extubation, and at 10:00 AM in postoperative 1,3,5 days.

  • The brain-derived-neurotrophic factor (BDNF)Other

    Venous blood sample will be collected and tested for plasma BDNF. The blood will be collected 10 minutes before anesthesia, 30 minutes after intubation, every hour during operation, 15 minutes after extubation, and at 10:00 AM in postoperative 1,3,5 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of postoperative delirium within postoperative 5 days

    The postoperative delirium will be diagnosed if patients have fluctuation in mental status and attention and either thinking or consciousness in the past 24 hours as evidenced by fluctuation on Confusion Assessment Method-Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) scale.

    Measured: the incidence of delirum within postoperative 5 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia and Postoperative Delirium, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 15 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 Zhengfang Hu, M.D., Ph.D (8610-67096658, huzhengfang78@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of postoperative delirium within postoperative 5 days (time frame: the incidence of delirum within postoperative 5 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 15 Feb 2023.
