Trial summary

Postoperative delirium (POD) remains one of the most common neuropsychiatric complications after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) has been shown to significantly correlate with prognosis of many diseases associated with inflammation, but the relationship between FAR and POD… Read more about this study

Study population: Patients with Parkinson's disease were scheduled to undergo elective subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation surgery for the first time under total intravenous anesthesia. Delirium was evaluated at the preoperative visit, then twice daily for 3 days following surgery. Cognition assessment was conducted at preoperative visit, 24 h after surgery and 72 h after surgery. Delirium assessments were performed before 10 AM and after 5 PM in the ward. The CAM questionnaire and cognition assessment method for MMSE were performed by the qualified doctor who trained with CAM and MMSE training manual.

About this study

Postoperative delirium (POD) remains one of the most common neuropsychiatric complications after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) has been shown to significantly correlate with prognosis of many diseases associated with inflammation, but the relationship between FAR and POD is unclear. The investigators aimed to investigate the association between POD and FAR in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients receiving DBS surgery. For this aim, the present study was conducted to provide a new method for the early recognition and perioperative management of delirium after DBS surgery in PD patients.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05833308
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
POD groupPatients who were determined to have incident postoperative delirium by a positive confusion assessment method (CAM) questionnaire after operation were defined as the POD group.
Non-POD groupPatients who did not suffer from delirium after surgery consisted of the Non-POD group.

What is being measured

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

  1. CAM score

    Positive CAM score means that patient developed delirium after surgery. While negative CAM score means that patient did not suffer from delirium after surgery.

    Measured: Before surgery

  2. CAM score

    Positive CAM score means that patient developed delirium after surgery. While negative CAM score means that patient did not suffer from delirium after surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative day 1

  3. CAM score

    Positive CAM score means that patient developed delirium after surgery. While negative CAM score means that patient did not suffer from delirium after surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative day 2

  4. CAM score

    Positive CAM score means that patient developed delirium after surgery. While negative CAM score means that patient did not suffer from delirium after surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative day 3

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) score

    MMSE score ranges from 0 to 30 and higher score means better cognitive function.

    Measured: Before surgery

  2. MMSE score

    MMSE score ranges from 0 to 30 and higher score means better cognitive function.

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hour

  3. MMSE score

    MMSE score ranges from 0 to 30 and higher score means better cognitive function.

    Measured: postoperative 72 hour

  4. The level of fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) in peripheral blood.

    The FAR was calculated as fibrinogen / albumin.

    Measured: Before surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and Deep Brain Stimulation, run by Changhai 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 4 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 1 May 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?

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?

CAM score (time frame: Before surgery). The study lists 4 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 1 May 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
