Trial summary

Urological surgery patients will have their blood glucose measured before, during, and after surgery. Blood glucose will be measured using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device. We hypothesize the presence of a hyperglycemic state towards the end of surgery due to increased metabolic demand. Read more about this study

About this study

Urological surgery patients will have their blood glucose measured before, during, and after surgery. Blood glucose will be measured using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device. We hypothesize the presence of a hyperglycemic state towards the end of surgery due to increased metabolic demand.

Read the detailed description

Surgical stress causes acute insulin resistance, increased circulating free-fatty acids, and reduced blood glucose uptake resulting in hyperglycemia. Intraoperative and postoperative glucose levels are typically only monitored in the diabetic or cardiac surgical patient. There is a lack of data on perioperative glucose levels in most prolonged surgeries and thus a barrier in determining the best glycemic management strategy to prevent or resolve acute insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. Obtaining blood glucose by CGM is less invasive and will avert disruption of current surgical pathways and standards of care while also producing reliable glucose measurements.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the perioperative glycemic changes longitudinally in patients undergoing major urologic surgeries.

    Interstitial blood glucose levels measured by Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) device, in mg/dL

    Measured: Perioperatively up to post-operative day 4

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine the effect of perioperative insulin levels on glycemic variations in patients undergoing major urologic surgeries.

    Serum insulin in uIU/mL will be measured from participant blood samples

    Measured: Perioperatively up to post-operative day 4

  2. To determine the effect of perioperative insulin, C-peptide, and Free-Fatty Acid (FFA)

    C-peptide in ng/mL will be measured from participant blood samples

    Measured: Perioperatively up to post-operative day 4

  3. To determine the effect of perioperative insulin, C-peptide, and Free-Fatty Acid (FFA)

    FFA in mmol/L will be measured from participant blood samples

    Measured: Perioperatively up to post-operative day 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urologic Diseases and Surgery, run by University of Kansas Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 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 United States. 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?

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?

To determine the perioperative glycemic changes longitudinally in patients undergoing major urologic surgeries. (time frame: Perioperatively up to post-operative day 4). 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 May 2023.
