About this study

Official title: Association Between Administration of Dexmedetomidine and Postoperative Mortality in Hospitals Among Inpatients Undergoing Surgeries Under General Anaesthesia Using Propofol

The present multicentre retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between intraoperative administration of dexmedetomidine and postoperative mortality in hospitals.

The investigators set out to test the hypothesis that perioperative dexmedetomidine use, as an adjunct to general anesthesia, diminishes postoperative mortality in hospitals across all categories of surgical patients.

Being tested
Dexmedetomidine

What is being measured

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

  1. in-hospital all-cause mortality

    in-hospital deaths or discharged to hospice (or home)

    Measured: from the time of end of surgery until time of documented hospital discharge or time of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. length of postoperative hospital stay

    in days

    Measured: from the time of end of surgery until time of documented hospital discharge or time of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year

  2. admission to the intensive care unit (ICU)

    unplanned admissions

    Measured: from the time of end of surgery until time of documented hospital discharge or time of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year

  3. adverse events after surgery

    severe stroke, the necessity for renal replacement therapy (RRT), myocardial infarction, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), unplanned reoperation due to postoperative complications, sepsis, and multi-organ dysfunctions (MODs), if any

    Measured: from the time of end of surgery until time of documented hospital discharge or time of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of In-hospital Mortality, run by Xijing 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 8 Feb 2024. 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?

in-hospital all-cause mortality (time frame: from the time of end of surgery until time of documented hospital discharge or time of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year). 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 8 Feb 2024.
