About this study

Official title: Association Between Dietary Factors and Chronic Subdural Hematoma: a Multicenter Case-control Study

A prospective, multicenter, case control trial is designed to compare difference in dietary and nutritional factors in patients with and without chronic subdural hematoma.

Read the detailed description

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical conditions, which is considered to be an inflammatory disease. Dietary factors can have an impact on the inflammatory mechanism in human body, which can increase a variety of inflammatory biomarkers in the blood. The risk of malnutrition in the elderly is generally high, and nutritional status can affect the risk of CSDH in the elderly. Little is known about the association of dietary factors with CSDH. The investigators speculate that dietary factors participate in and promote the occurrence and development of CSDH. This study will clarify whether there is a correlation between dietary factors and CSDH, which will reveal the pathogenesis and prevention of CSDH.

Being tested
Dietary and nutritional questionnaire, Neurological function, cognitive function, and life quality assessment, Peripheral blood test, Metabonomic test, Hematoma test
Keywords
Chronic subdural hematoma, Dietary inflammatory index, Food frequency questionnaire, Modified frailty index
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in dietary intakes

    Difference in dietary intakes assessed by Food Frequency Questionnaire, a common method for measuring dietary intake in large epidemiological studies.

    Measured: When subjects are enrolled

  2. Difference in Dietary Inflammatory Index score

    The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) score of the current nutritional status of patients with and without CSDH will be evaluated. The amounts of nutrients will be calculated using last 3-month nutrient analysis program. DII score will calculate from these foods. The z-score must first be calculated. To calculate the z-score, the standard global consumption amount is subtracted from the average consumption amount of the individual. The result obtained is divided by the standard deviation value. The z score found with this result is converted to the percentile score. The percentile value is multiplied by the full inflammatory effect score. DII is obtained as a result of summing the scores calculated for all nutrients. Found DII is an indicator of the inflammatory load of the individual's daily diet.

    Measured: When subjects are enrolled

  3. Difference in nutritional status

    Difference in nutritional status measured by Mini-Nutritional Assessment.

    Measured: When subjects are enrolled

  4. Difference in frailty status

    Difference in frailty status measured by Modified Frailty Index. Modified Frailty Index ranges from score 0 to 1, and frail status is defined as a score of ≥0.27.

    Measured: When subjects are enrolled

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Difference in gut microbiota measured by 16S rRNA between case group and control group

    Fecal sample will be measured by 16S rRNA sequencing. The alpha and beta diversity of gut microbiota between the groups will be analyzed, including a series of statistical analysis indexes such as Chao, Shannon, Simpsonace, Simpson and Coverage, in order to reflect the microbial community diversity. Based on the results of species annotation, the community histogram, the community heatmap and the Wayne map will be used to analyze the species composition of the sample, in order to explore the relationship between the species and the sample, and analyze the key microflora in the sample. The PCA, PCoA and NMDS analysis will be used to assess the similarities and differences in species composition between groups. To further screen the species with significant differences, the LEfSe difference discriminant analysis will be used.

    Measured: When subjects are enrolled

  2. Difference in metabolomics of gut, urine, and serum between case group and control group

    Changes of metabolites in gut, urine, and serum will be measured by metabolomic mass spectrometry.

    Measured: When subjects are enrolled

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Subdural Hematoma, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 4 sites 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 22 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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 Liang Wu, M.D. (15001333582 ext. +86, jasewl@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in dietary intakes (time frame: When subjects are enrolled). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Apr 2024.
