About this study

Official title: Long-term Outcomes of Bioprothetic Valve Versus Mechanical Valve

In this study, the investigators aim to use data identified through the hospital's integrated medical database and National Health Insurance database to explore the long-term performance and benefits of biological and mechanical valves. This research aims to provide more recommendations and references for valve replacement in different patient populations.

Read the detailed description

Long-term follow-up of valve surgery is essential in all cardiac surgeries and is the most commonly discussed indicator. The choice of valves has evolved over the past 30 years, offering two options: biological valves and mechanical valves. Biological valves have seen advancements in the last 15 years, including new processes and improved valve preservation methods. The question of whether these new process valves offer better long-term effectiveness has become a hot research topic in recent years.

Mechanical valves have a longer lifespan, but the need for long-term anticoagulant use to prevent mechanical valve thrombosis has raised concerns about anticoagulant side effects, abnormal clotting function, and bleeding. Biological valves, on the other hand, do not require long-term anticoagulation and only necessitate 2-3 months of anticoagulant treatment. However, the risk of biological valve degeneration results in an average lifespan of 10 to 20 years, which cannot match the durability of mechanical valves. This is the drawback of using biological valves.

Therefore, the investigators hope to utilize the hospital's integrated medical database and the long-term National Health Insurance database for tracking. The investigators aim to observe valve performance in different patient groups, such as young people, the elderly, patients on dialysis, those with rheumatic autoimmune diseases, and those taking specific medications, among others.

What is being measured

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

  1. all-cause mortality

    included estimated survival using a Cox regression model. Survival data were obtained for all NHIRD databases. Operative mortality was defined as death during the index hospitalization or within 30 days of the operation. Long-term survival data included death from all causes.

    survival outcome was measured months after the index operation.

    Measured: 1998-2019

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. composite outcome and individual component of major adverse prosthesis-related events, including death, major bleeding, ischemic stroke, endocarditis, and aortic valve reoperation

    each of which were defined as an emergency room visit or hospital admission with related diagnosis codes as the primary diagnosis

    Measured: 1998-2019

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Valve Heart Disease, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 0 inclusion and 1 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 18 Oct 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 Taiwan. 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 Nai-Hsin Chi (886-2-23123456 ext. 265081, chinaihsin@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

all-cause mortality (time frame: 1998-2019). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06041308, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Oct 2024.
