About this study

The goal of this observational study is to assess the effect of regional versus general anesthesia on carotid endarterectomy thirty-day outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is regional anesthesia associated with lower incidence of major morbidity and mortality?
  • Is regional anesthesia associated with lower incidences of secondary adverse events?

Participants will be sampled from the 2015-2019 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

Being tested
Anesthetic technique (regional versus general)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Regional Anesthesia Morbidity and Carotid Artery Diseases, run by University of Virginia.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 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?

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?

Major morbidity and mortality (time frame: Thirty days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05706688, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jan 2023.
