Trial summary

Ureteral stents are the most commonly used postoperative implantable materials in urology. The indwelling ureteral stents often lead to the formation of encrustation, with an incidence of 10%, which will lead to complications such as obstruction, lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS), and difficulty in extubation.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of GREE(a Name of Chinese Company)-AI(Artificial Intelligence) Medical Software in the Detection of Ureteral Stent Encrustation

Ureteral stents are the most commonly used postoperative implantable materials in urology. The indwelling ureteral stents often lead to the formation of encrustation, with an incidence of 10%, which will lead to complications such as obstruction, lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS), and difficulty in extubation. At present, there is no accurate and sensitive diagnostic criteria for ureteral stents encrustation. Previously, we developed the artificial intelligence-based ureteral stents encrustation identification software - GREE-AI Medical Software (GAIMS) with the collaboration of GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES,INCORPORATED.OF ZHUHAI(a city of Guangdong, China). In order to further evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of the software in practical clinical applications, and to verify its predictive ability for ureteral stents encrustation, the following single-center, prospective, double-blind, diagnostic cohort study is planned.

This study will use the gold standard as a reference to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of GAIMS for detecting ureteral stents encrustation. At the same time, it will be compared with non-enhanced contrast Computed Tomography examinations interpreted by clinical radiologists to evaluate the pros and cons of GAIMS in detecting ureteral stents encrustation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with ureteral stent encrustation longer than 4mm measured by a ruler

    After indwelling the ureteral stent, ureteral stent encrustation will be formed, which affects the patency of the ureter or causes difficulty in extubation. Our observation outcome is to observe whether the ureteral stent encrustation formed.

    Measured: When the patient returns to the hospital to remove the ureteral stent, it may be 2 weeks to 1 year after the operation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ureteral Stent-Related Symptom, run by Fifth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University.

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 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 10 Aug 2022. 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?

Number of participants with ureteral stent encrustation longer than 4mm measured by a ruler (time frame: When the patient returns to the hospital to remove the ureteral stent, it may be 2 weeks to 1 year after the operation.). 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 10 Aug 2022.
