About this study

Retrospective cohort study

Read the detailed description

Data source and study cohort:

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Premier Healthcare Database (PHD, Premier Inc., Charlotte, NC), an extensive, US hospital-based, all-payer database representing approximately 20% of annual United States inpatient discharges at community and academic centers. The International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9), and tenth revision (ICD-10) procedure codes were used to identify patients who had undergone elective kidney cancer surgery between the 15 years of study from 2003 to 2017. The cohort was then restricted based on appropriate ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnosis codes to ensure that surgery was performed for a kidney mass. The study cohort was also limited to adult patients (age >= 18 years), "elective" cases based on administrative codes, as well as surgery on hospital day zero or one to minimize outlier patients who could skew the surgical outcomes.

Outcomes:

The primary outcome of this study was the 90-day complication rate. Complication rates were based on the Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications and divided into four categories: no complications, minor complications (Clavien grades 1, 2), and non-fatal major complications (Clavien grades 3, 4), and mortality (Clavien grade 5). Clinical systems also categorized complications (bleeding, cardiac, endocrine, gastrointestinal, infection, neurology, pulmonary, renal, soft tissue, urologic, venous thromboembolism) using Health Care Cost and Utilization Project Clinical Classification Software Level II or III designations; of note, the category for "surgical" complications was excluded given that all complications captured in this analysis are considered surgical complications. Secondary outcomes included patient disposition, length of hospital stay, and readmission rate.

What is being measured

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

  1. surgical complications

    Complication rates were based on the Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications and divided into four categories: no complications, minor complications (Clavien grades 1, 2), and non-fatal major complications (Clavien grades 3, 4), and mortality (Clavien grade 5).

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. patient disposition

    patient disposition was divided into home and none home such as skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  2. readmission rates

    readmission was defined as readmitted into the hospital for any reason

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Marriage and Kidney Neoplasms, run by Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 6 Sep 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?

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?

surgical complications (time frame: 90 days after surgery). 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 6 Sep 2022.
