Trial summary

This study aims to verify the prediction model of postoperative pulmonary complications by collecting clinical information on elderly patients. In addition, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in elderly patients before and after using the prediction model was compared. Read more about this study

About this study

This study aims to verify the prediction model of postoperative pulmonary complications by collecting clinical information on elderly patients. In addition, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in elderly patients before and after using the prediction model was compared.

Read the detailed description

More than 300 million major operations are performed worldwide each year, and older patients account for about a third of elective operations. Compared with young people, the elderly are more prone to postoperative complications due to age-related degeneration of the physiological functions of various organs and tissues. Postoperative pulmonary complications, including pneumonia, atelectasis, and respiratory failure, are common. Even mild pulmonary complications can lead to the prolonged hospital stay and increased postoperative mortality.

Although there have been many studies on postoperative lung complications, there have been few studies on elderly patients. In our country, the real incidence data of elderly patients after a perioperative period of pulmonary complications, the lack of effective prevention, intervention measures, and targeted prevention and treatment technology, these reasons lead to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients after a perioperative period of pulmonary complications are very difficult. Therefore, the research team intends to verify the established prediction model of postoperative pulmonary complications and compare the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in elderly patients before and after using the prediction model.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications and Elderly Patients, run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

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 5 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 27 Jan 2023. 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?

Postoperative pulmonary complications (time frame: within one week 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 27 Jan 2023.
