About this study

Official title: Incidence of Venous Thrombotic Event After Curative Colon Cancer Surgery in an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program

Based on data on a cohort of 2,141 patients undergoing elective colonic cancer resection in an ERAS program, the incidence of postoperative thromboembolic events is estimated in patients no receiving prolonged thromboembolic prophylaxis.

Read the detailed description

The Copenhagen cOmplete Mesocolic Excision Study (COMES) database contains comprehensive data on preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative and tumor related variable on patients undergoing elective colonic cancer resection at four public university clinics providing all colorectal cancer treatment for the 1.8 million residents of the Capital Region of Denmark during the period 2014-2017.

None of these hospitals had implemented prolonged thromboembolic prophylaxis after discharge.

The medical records were reviewed with focusing on VTE prophylaxis, ongoing preoperative and postoperative anticoagulant treatment, the length of hospital stay (LOS), and readmission to ensure high data validity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Deep Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolus and Colon Cancer, run by Nordsjaellands 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 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?

Postoperative venous thromboembolic event (time frame: 60 days). 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 24 Aug 2023.
