About this study

This project aims to create and validate surgical risk prediction models for the prediction of complications in patients pending surgery during the operation, in the immediate postoperative period and up to one month after discharge.

At present there is no risk assessment system in place, except for the ASA scale which is mainly based on the subjective impression of the facultative, who assesses it in the universal preoperative consultations that we have planned in the system. In this project we intend to provide robust models, based on the analysis of data from patients in 4/5 Basque hospitals, i.e. generated in our population.

Read the detailed description

A three-phase study has been designed:

  1. st phase: Derivation and internal validation of the predictive model by means of a reprospective cohort study in which patients operated on at the Galdakao-Usansolo Hospital (HGU), Urduliz Hospital (HU), Basurto University Hospital (HUB), Donostia University Hospital (HUD) and Araba University Hospital (HUA) will be recruited. Hospital universitario de Donostia (HUD) and Hospital universitario de Araba (HUA) over XXX years and data will be obtained from the preoperative period until the month of discharge from the operation. For the identification and creation of these models, machine learning techniques will be used with the main purpose of identifying variables not described in the literature. Machine learning is the most important branch of Artificial Intelligence. Within Machine Learning, supervised learning is the most widely used area. Supervised learning allows computers to learn to perform tasks by discovering and exploiting complex patterns in large amounts of data. In the specific case of data from electronic medical records, Machine Learning algorithms allow us to use the historical data of each patient so that the computer learns to anticipate future events in a personalised way.
  2. nd phase: External validation of the models created in the first phase in a cohort of patients operated on in 2020 in the same centres. The methodology proposed by Debray et al. will be applied.
  3. rd phase: Evaluation of results after the implementation of the models in the EHR of the Galdakao-Usansolo Hospital in the form of an 'Action Guide'. Based on the risk stratification carried out in the previous phases, the anaesthesia department will create recommendations for action according to the level of risk. The percentages of mortality and intra- and postoperative complications will be compared by means of a quasi-experimental intervention study, comparing the results of the HGU hospital where the risk scale and the consequent recommendations will be implemented, before and after its implementation, and also comparing them with the percentages of patients who become complicated and/or die in HU, HUB, HUD and HUA, where the usual clinical practice will be followed, based on the ASA scale. This prospective cohort, once the risk scale has been implemented, will also be used for external validation (2020-2021).

Socio-demographic and clinical variables (main diagnosis, comorbidities, treatments, previous interventions, intraoperative data, post-operative data, procedures performed during hospitalisation, and complications up to one month after hospital discharge) and laboratory parameters will be collected.

This information will be extracted from osabide\'s global data exploitation system, Oracle Business Intelligence, and the laboratory data will be extracted from the information systems of the clinical laboratories of the centres involved.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Complications and Risk Factors, run by Hospital Galdakao-Usansolo at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 13 May 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 Spain. 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?

Death intraoperatively and up to one month after surgery (time frame: One-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 13 May 2024.
