About this study

The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative anaesthesia depth monitoring parameters in predicting postoperative cognitive functions in non-cardiac adult patients.

Participants will preoperatively perform cognitive tests such as the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale(Nu-DESC) and 4 'A's Test(4AT) to assess baseline cognitive performance. The same tests will be repeated twice daily until the postoperative 3rd day or discharge.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative anaesthesia depth monitoring parameters such as Bispectral Index(BIS), Spectral edge frequency(SEF) and Median frequency(MF) in predicting postoperative cognitive functions in non-cardiac adult patients.

Participants will preoperatively perform cognitive tests such as the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale(Nu-DESC) and 4 'A's Test(4AT) to assess baseline cognitive performance. Intraoperative haemodynamic and BIS parameters will be collected via manual data entry into printed forms. Also, a two-channel electroencephalogram(EEG) and BIS parameters(BIS Number, SEF, MF) will be collected digitally.

The cognitive tests will be repeated twice daily until the postoperative 3rd day or discharge.

Parameters such as mean intraoperative MF value and the ratio of MF over SEF will be compared against postoperative cognitive test scores.

What is being measured

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

  1. Nu-DESC Score

    Increase in Nu-DESC score compared to baseline test, or a postoperative Nu-DESC score greater than or equal to 2

    Measured: 3 Days

  2. 4AT Score

    Increase in 4AT score compared to baseline test, or a postoperative 4AT score greater than or equal to 4

    Measured: 3 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Delirium and Cognitive Impairment, run by Ankara University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 16 Oct 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?

Nu-DESC Score (time frame: 3 Days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06644209, 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 16 Oct 2024.
