About this study

SGLT2 inhibitors are oral anti-diabetic medications that were found to improve cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction, and chronic kidney disease. Recent evidence suggested that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors resulted in a significant reduction in atrial fibrillation (AF) over a mean follow-up duration of 2.6 years. Given the possible AF protective benefit with SGLT2 inhibitors use.

Read the detailed description

we aim to conduct a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors use on post-operative AF (POAF) among patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve replacement, and valve repair over a 6-year period (from 1/06/2017 to 1/07/2023). The follow-up period will be the post-operative hospital stay or 30-days, whichever is shorter, and the data will be obtained from the electronic medical records. The study outcomes will include effectiveness outcomes of incidence of POAF regardless of frequency, duration, or intervention used for termination, incidence of paroxysmal POAF, incidence of paroxysmal POAF requiring pharmacological cardioversion, incidence of hemodynamically unstable POAF requiring electrical cardioversion, incidence of persistent POAF (sustained beyond 7 days), incidence of POAF requiring anticoagulation, ischemic stroke, and safety outcomes of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis and urinary tract infections (UTI).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation, run by Hamad Medical Corporation at 2 sites in Qatar.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Qatar. 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 Alaa Rahhal, Msc (55712353, ARahhal1@hamad.qa), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) (time frame: 1 month). 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 9 Feb 2024.
