Trial summary

Role of vitamin D in cardiovascular disease is controversial. Here the investigators aimed to investigate the association of vitamin D deficiency and carotid plaque morphology as well as outcome of participants with high-grade carotid artery stenosis undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

About this study

Official title: Vitamin D Deficiency as Independent Predictor for Plaque Vulnerability and All-cause Mortality in Patients With Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis

Role of vitamin D in cardiovascular disease is controversial. Here the investigators aimed to investigate the association of vitamin D deficiency and carotid plaque morphology as well as outcome of participants with high-grade carotid artery stenosis undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

332 consecutive participants undergoing carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, were prospectively included in the study, and vitamin D levels were determined prior to surgery using chemiluminescence-immunoassay.

Role of vitamin D in cardiovascular disease is controversial. Here the investigators aimed to investigate the association of vitamin D deficiency and carotid plaque morphology as well as outcome of participants with high-grade carotid artery stenosis undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

332 consecutive participants undergoing carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, were prospectively included in the study, and vitamin D levels were determined prior to surgery using chemiluminescence-immunoassay.

There is insufficient data on cardiovascular outcome in participants with CAS and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D would be an easily modifiable factor.

Primary goal was to investigate the influence of vitamin D levels on plaque vulnerability, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality in patients with carotid artery disease undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

    Serum blood sample for Vitamin D testing

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Vitamin D levels and its correlation with plaque vulnerability

    Vitamin D levels and its correlation with plaque vulnerability is the primary outcome measurement. Serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D is measured by the Liaison Total 25-Hydroxy-Vitamin D chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) on Liaison XL immunology analyzers (DiaSorin, Saluggia, Italy.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Vitamin D levels and its correlation with cardiac outcome

    Vitamin D levels and its correlation with cardia outcome is the secondary outcome measurement. Serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D is measured by the Liaison Total 25-Hydroxy-Vitamin D chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) on Liaison XL immunology analyzers (DiaSorin, Saluggia, Italy.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vitamin D Deficiency and Carotid Artery Diseases, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 25 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 Austria. 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?

Vitamin D levels and its correlation with plaque vulnerability (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 25 Jun 2024.
