About this study

The observational study aims to discover differentially expressed circRNAs in the peripheral blood of patients with postoperative delirium, which aims to answer the main questions at:

Whether there are changes in circRNA expression in peripheral blood in elderly patients with delirium after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery? Whether the circRNA with altered expression plays an important role in the occurrence and development of POD? What are the functions and underlying mechanisms of circRNA with altered expression in POD? Voluntary patients will receive follow-up 1 day before and 7 days after surgery to assess their cognitive function, and peripheral blood will be collected 1 day before and 3 days after surgery. The study divided patients into POD group and non-POD group according to whether delirium occurred within 7 days after surgery.

Read the detailed description

Investigators combined qRT-PCR by performing circRNAs chip analysis to study differential expression of circRNAs in plasma samples of elderly patients with non-POD who underwent cardiac surgery under general anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass. Subsequently, miRNA binding sites and associated mRNAs are predicted by bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, we plan to construct predicted circN-MIRNA-MRNA co-expression networks to study the main functions and pathways of target genes, thereby attempting to provide a preliminary view of the potential role of a circRNA in POD. The study may provide an important perspective on the differential expression of circRNA in patients with POD, and may also provide insights into biomarkers and therapeutic targets of POD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences in circRNA microarrays before and after surgery

    Plasma was isolated from peripheral blood, RNA samples were prepared, and circRNA microarray analysis was performed. The differences in circRNA expression in peripheral blood of POD patients and non-POD patients were comprehensively analyzed.

    Measured: 1 day before surgery,3 day after surgery

  2. 3-minute Diagnostic Interview for CAM

    Postoperative delirium was assessed by 3-minute Diagnostic Interview for confusion assessment method (CAM).

    Measured: Consecutive 7 days after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Delirium, run by Xuzhou Central Hospital at 1 site 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 3 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 7 Mar 2023. 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 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 Yangzi Zhu, Doctor (+86 18168779150, zhuyz@188.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Differences in circRNA microarrays before and after surgery (time frame: 1 day before surgery,3 day after 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 7 Mar 2023.
