About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness and Outcomes of Epidural Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Open Hepatectomy: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis

This observational study is to compare the effectiveness and outcomes of epidural analgesia in patients undergoing open hepatectomy: A propensity score matching analysis.

The main question is: What is the superior method of pain control in open hepatectomy: epidural analgesia or intravenous PCA?

Read the detailed description

After approval of the study protocol from the institutional review board of Chiangmai University (Approval number: ANE-2562-06771), the investigators performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent an elective open liver resection in the specialized hepato-biliary center from January 2007 through December 2018. This retrospective inquiry comprised 612 patients. The data was systematically retrieved from electronic medical records. Baseline characteristics including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), co-morbidity, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, diagnosis, hepatitis profile, Child-Pugh classification, cirrhosis, the largest tumor size, previous liver resection, and pre-operative laboratory investigations were collected. The following intra-operative data were collected: type of liver resection, hilar resection, vascular reconstruction, intra-operative opioid consumption and type of fluid administration, estimated blood loss, packed red cell and blood product transfusion, and operation time. Post-operative pain score and opioid consumption also be collected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Epidural Analgesia and Patient Controlled Analgesia, run by Chiang Mai University.

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 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 12 Mar 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?

Post-operative opioid consumption (time frame: Within 72 hours). 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 NCT06301932, 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 12 Mar 2024.
