About this study

Official title: Long Term Cardiovascular Disease Event Risk for Patients Undergoing Major Non-Cardiac

The goal of this observational study is to learn whether the healthy lifestyle choices made around surgery can influence an individual's long term risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Patients will be observed 1-month prior to and 3-months following surgery to assess their risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Read the detailed description

Patients who experience a medical event are often motivated to improve their health by engaging in healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as improving their diet and beginning to exercise. For example, patients who are considered smokers prior to surgery may sometimes stop smoking following surgery. However, we are unsure of other changes following surgery. For example, we are unsure if surgery can initiate any changes in exercise and diet, and we are unsure if these changes can influence the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Consistent and positive lifestyle changes will likely reduce an individual's risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the long term.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Healthy lifestyle behaviors around the time of surgeryBehavioural

    Healthy lifestyle choices, such as improving diet and beginning to exercise around the time of surgery and it's influence on an individual's long term risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Baseline assessment for calculating the pre-operative 10-year CVD event risk

    For the baseline assessment, the expected 10-year CVD event risk of each participant will be calculated according to the appropriate CVD event risk prediction score using blood tests, questionnaire to estimate an individual's functional capacity, blood pressure, heart rate and ECG.

    Measured: 1 month before surgery

  2. Follow-up assessment for calculating the post-operative 10-year CVD event risk

    For the follow-up assessment, the expected 10-year CVD event risk of each participant will be calculated according to the appropriate CVD event risk prediction score using blood tests, questionnaire to estimate an individual's functional capacity, blood pressure, heart rate and ECG.

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Occurrence of Cardiovascular or Non-Cardiovascular event

    Cardiovascular related (e.g. Myocardial infarction/injury, mortality, heart failure) or non-cardiovascular related (e.g. surgical site infections, unexpected critical care unit admissions, re-operations).

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Reduction Behavior, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 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 13 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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 Wilton van Klei, MD (416-340-5164, Wilton.VanKlei@uhn.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Baseline assessment for calculating the pre-operative 10-year CVD event risk (time frame: 1 month before surgery). The study lists 2 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 13 Aug 2024.
