Study population: The study population includes patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma or renal cyst who underwent partial nephrectomy in the participated centers. Clinical and imaging data were retrospectively collected from medical records, including demographic characteristics (age, gender, BMI), tumor location (left or right kidney), surgical details (surgical approach, ischemia time), and perioperative complications. Patients were included based on the availability of complete clinical, surgical, and imaging data. Exclusion criteria comprised individuals with missing or unavailable imaging data, or no available enhanced CT images. The study aims to combine CT-based radiomics features and clinical features to develop a deep learning model to predict perioperative complications of partial nephrectomy, and compare with traditional anatomical classification models.

Who may be able to join

  • Clinical diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma or renal cyst
  • Underwent partial nephrectomy between June 2014 and July 2024

About this study

Official title: The CT-based Deep Learning Model Outperforms Traditional Anatomical Classification Models in Preoperatively Predicting Complications and Risk Grade in Partial Nephrectomy

The investigators combine radiomics and deep learning to analyze the lesions more thoroughly, aiming for a more accurate prediction of complications in partial nephrectomy, and compare this approach with traditional models.

Read the detailed description

In this study, patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma or renal cyst who underwent partial nephrectomy across multiple centers was included. And the participants were excluded if they had (a) missing or unavailable imaging data or (b) no available enhanced CT images. The cohort was divided into training and test sets at a 7:3 ratio. After that, the radiomics features were extracted from the images, and lasso regression was used to select features. Then a deep learning model was developed to predict complications and risk grades and compared with traditional classification models (RENAL and PADUA), demonstrating superior applicability.

What is being measured

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

  1. whether complications occurred

    Retrospectively review the medical record system to determine whether patients developed postoperative complications.

    Measured: perioperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patients' risk grade

    Based on the widely recognized Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) system for surgical complications, these complications were categorized into four grades: Grade I, II, III, and IV. Risk grade was assigned accordingly: "no risk" is defined as no complications occurred, "grade low" is defined as the highest level of complication being Grade I, "grade moderate" is defined as the highest level of complication being Grade II, and "grade high" is defined as complications of Grade III or higher, which are life-threatening.

    Measured: perioperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and Renal Cyst, run by Du Lingzhi at 1 site in China.

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 14 Mar 2025. 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 China. 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?

whether complications occurred (time frame: perioperatively). 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 14 Mar 2025.
