About this study

Official title: Association Between FSTL1 and Postoperative Pulmonary Complications on Pediatric Within Living Donor Liver Transplantation:a Prospective Cohort Analysis

The goal of this observational study is to identify the association between FSTL1 elevation and acute lung injury (ALI) after pediatric liver transplantation.The main questions it aims to answer what the risk factors are for ALI in children and to evaluate the predictive value for the development of ALI.Participants will be divided into non-ALI group and ALI group according to whether they had ALI in a week after liver transplantation.Researchers will compare the difference between the two groups and use multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen the risk factors of ALI, and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of risk factors.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative pulmonary complications(PPC) are complicated diseases with high morbidity and mortality for pediatric after living donor liver transplant (LDLT), Acute lung injury(ALI) after LDLT is a common and complex pulmonary complication, it is leading causes of disability and death,both in the acute and long-term postoperative period, the identification of effective prediction model involved in ALI is urgent and highly demanded.In order to observe the effect of follistim like protein 1(FSTL1) on the incidence of ALI who underwent LDLT, and explore the related mechanism, the investigators aim to collect more than 400 infant patients underwent LDLT from May 2023 to December 2023 in our single-center prospective study. Basic clinical data of children were recorded, including age, gender, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), International Normalized ratio (INR), childhood end-stage liver disease score (PELD) and other indicators.The expression levels of serum FSTL1 were recorded immediately after induction of anesthesia (T1), 10 minutes at anhepatic stage (T2), 30 minutes at new hepatic stage (T3) and immediately after abdominal closure (T4). Murray score was used to determine whether ALI occurred one week after LDLT, and the children were divided into non-ALI group and ALI group. Postoperative mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time, total length of hospital stay and mortality during hospitalization are recorded.

The primary outcome utilised a regression approach to adjust for potential confounders associated with ALI and FSTL1. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of ALI, and ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of risk factors.

What is being measured

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

  1. the incidence of acute lung injury

    Murray score was scored from four aspects: chest X-ray, hypoxemia score, positive end-expiratory pressure and lung compliance. The total score was the sum of the scores of all parameters the sum of the number of parameters adopted. The higher the score, the more serious the injury was.

    Measured: 1 week after living donor liver transplantation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the expression level of serum FSTL-1

    Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of FSTL-1 in serum

    Measured: immediately after induction of anesthesia (T1), 10 minutes at anhepatic stage (T2), 30 minutes at new hepatic stage (T3) and immediately after abdominal closure (T4)]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and Pulmonary Complication, run by Tianjin First Central Hospital.

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 3 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 Apr 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?

the incidence of acute lung injury (time frame: 1 week after living donor liver transplantation). 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 Apr 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
