Trial summary

The investigators established a first-ever convenient scoring system for clinicians to assess the risk of Postoperative infectious complications (PICs) for elderly patients. Our scoring system can aid in the early detection of potential risks for postoperative infections. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Postoperative Infectious Complications Calculator for Elderly Patients--A Derivation and External Validation of Prediction Models Based on Two Centers Large Sample

The investigators established a first-ever convenient scoring system for clinicians to assess the risk of Postoperative infectious complications (PICs) for elderly patients. Our scoring system can aid in the early detection of potential risks for postoperative infections. Higher-score patients were more likely to experience postoperative infections.

Read the detailed description

Background:

Postoperative infectious complications (PICs) are related to increased morbidity, mortality, and costs, especially in elderly patients. However, published prediction models of PICs are rarely based on elderly patients.

Objective:

The study wanted to identify practical and valuable variables that could be used to predict postoperative infections and establish a convenient scoring system for clinicians to assess the risk of such conditions in elderly patients.

Methods: Data from 2 population-based cohorts of elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac and non-neurology surgery were used to derive and validate multivariable logistic regression models. The risk prediction models were derived from 37230 patients hospitalized in the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital (January 2012 - August 2018). The risk prediction models were externally validated with data from a cohort of 10252 patients hospitalized in Henan Provincial People's Hospital (November 2014 to May 2022).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Infection and Geriatrics, run by Weidong Mi at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 Sep 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 China. 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?

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 Infectious Complications Calculator for Elderly Patients (time frame: January 2012 - August 2018). 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 Sep 2024.
