Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients will be identified by database search from April 2016 to March 2020, online records, clinical portal, Somerset cancer registry. Duplicates will be removed, cases will be screened. All the patients who have undergone pancreatic resections for preoperative diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, duodenal and periampullary tumors and pancreatic tumors, which includes pancreatoduodenectomy, during the study period, irrespective of age and comorbidities will be included in the study. The patients who have undergone pancreatic resections other than pancreatoduodenectomy will be excluded. P-Possum and CPET specific data will be collected retrospectively, for predicted morbidity and mortality.

Who may be able to join

  • All pancreatic resections during the study period, performed for:
  • Cholangiocarcinoma
  • Duodenal and periampullary tumors
  • Pancreatic tumors
  • All the patients in the database who have undergone Whipple (pancreatoduodenectomy)

Who cannot join

  • Duodenal or gastric resections, not in conjunction with pancreatic resections
  • Distal pancreatectomy

About this study

Official title: Clinical Effectiveness of Pre-operative Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) in Predicting Post-operative Morbidity and Mortality After Pancreatoduodenectomy- A Retrospective Cohort Study

A clinical database has been prospectively maintained by the investigators, with details of pancreatic resections since January 2016. It includes pre-operative details, details of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting, details of pre-operative biliary stenting, intra-operative details, post-operative morbidity and mortality, details of histopathological diagnosis, recurrence and survival. Data was collected onto the database (excel sheet) from trust data software, clinic letters, Somerset Cancer registry and clinical portal.

Read the detailed description

Retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained database. A clinical database has been prospectively maintained by the investigators, with details of pancreatic resections since January 2016. It includes pre-operative details, details of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting, details of pre-operative biliary stenting, intra-operative details, post-operative morbidity and mortality, details of histopathological diagnosis, recurrence and survival. Data was collected onto the database (excel sheet) from trust data software, clinic letters, Somerset Cancer registry and clinical portal.

Specific CPET data to be collected:

  1. Exercise induced ST ischaemia- yes/no
  2. VO2 peak: actual and predicted
  3. Anaerobic threshold
  4. VE/VCO2
  5. Pulmonary function test- normal/ obstructive/ restrictive
  6. Duration of pedalling bike
  7. 30 day predicted risk
  8. Completed the test - yes/no
  9. Reason for incomplete test The CPET specific data will be collated from clinic letters, MDT meeting outcomes and CPET reports stored in hospital drive (access limited to anaesthetists only presently).

Data analysis will be done using IBM SPSS version 25. Investigators plan to use parametric and non-parametric tests and binary logistic regression analyses to compare predicted to actual mortality and morbidity, between the patients who have had CPET and those who have not.

6 STUDY SETTING: This is a single centre study, to be done at, Royal Blackburn Hospital, East Lancashire Hospitals NHS trust, a District general Hospital in North of England. The study will be carried out in the department of General and HPB surgery, in liaise with Department of anaesthesia. This is the HPB referral centre for Lancashire and South Cumbria and incorporates patients referred for pancreatic surgery from three hospital trusts (Lancashire Teaching, University Hospital Morecambe Bay and Blackpool Teaching Hospitals). The data will be stored in the trust computer system, using a password protected excel sheet. The investigators responsible for the study only, will be provided with access to the database.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET)/ Portsmouth - Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality and morbidity (P-POSSUM) predicted mortality versus actual 30 day mortality

    Primary outcome is to compare predicted mortality by cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET)/ Portsmouth - Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality and morbidity (P-Possum) score versus actual 30 day mortality, post-operatively.

    P-POSSUM is a scoring system for general elective and emergency surgeries which takes into account various physiological and operative parameters to calculate risk of morbidity and mortality in terms of percentages. The risk can range between 0 to 100%. The higher the percentage worse is the predicted outcome.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) / Portsmouth - Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality and morbidity (P-POSSUM) predicted morbidity versus actual post-operative morbidity

    Secondary outcome is to compare predicted morbidity by cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) /Portsmouth - Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality and morbidity (P-Possum) score versus actual morbidity, post-operatively.

    P-POSSUM is a scoring system for general elective and emergency surgeries which takes into account various physiological and operative parameters to calculate risk of morbidity and mortality in terms of percentages. The risk can range between 0 to 100%. The higher the percentage worse is the predicted outcome.

    Measured: 90 days

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?

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET)/ Portsmouth - Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality and morbidity (P-POSSUM) predicted mortality versus actual 30 day mortality (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT06068452, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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.
