About this study

Official title: Choroid Thickness May Shed Light On Early Coronary Artery Disease

Purpose: To investigate any relationship between choroid thickness (CTh) and coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in its earlier stages before clinically evident.

Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional observational study

Methods:

Setting: The study was performed in two institutions; patients were recruited in Balikesir City Hospital. The ophthalmological examinations and coronary angiograms were performed in Balikesir City Hospital. The analysis of the coronary angiograms including Gensini scoring were conducted in Bursa Education and Research Hospital.

Study Population: The study group comprised 68 patients with documented CAD and 60 healthy control subjects. Patients with high myopia, cataracts, retinal vascular disease, retinal surgery, retinal dystrophy, laser photocoagulation, intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment, glaucoma, uveitis, retinal disorders, any systemic diseases were excluded from the study groups.

Observation Procedure: Refractive examination, corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurements, anterior and posterior segment examinations. Following measurements of macular thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer, choroidal thickness of both eyes was assessed by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Choroid Diseases, run by Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 4 Jun 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Choroidal thickness in Healthy Subjects (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Jun 2024.
