About this study

Lung cancer remains the world's leading cancer in terms of morbidity and mortality, with more than 20 million new cases and 9.7 million deaths annually. Despite improvements in surgical techniques and medical care, the number of elderly people undergoing surgery is gradually increasing, so there are an increasing number of complications following lung resection. Postoperative cerebral infarction is a relatively rare but devastating complication that places a heavy burden on patients and families. The incidence of postoperative cerebral infarction in patients after thoracic surgery has been reported to be 0.6-1.1%. There is a risk of postoperative cerebral infarction after lung cancer surgery, and the results of a few studies have shown that postoperative cerebral infarction is related to old age, male, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and lobectomy factors, but the pathogenesis of the occurrence of cerebral infarction has not been clearly proved for the time being, and so these risk factors cannot be taken as the direct cause of cerebral infarction. Therefore, we need to further explore the factors leading to cerebral infarction after lung cancer surgery. If we can further prove that some of the risk factors are related to the causes of cerebral infarction after lung cancer surgery, we can make corresponding strategies in the perioperative period to improve the safety of surgery and reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction in the postoperative period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysing independent risk factors for cerebral infarction after pneumonectomy

    Clinical trial data were entered into Excel for recording information and subsequently converted to SPSS for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics of the named data were expressed as absolute numbers and percentages according to each patient.

    Clinical characteristics of patients who developed cerebral infarction after surgery were retrospectively compared with those of patients who underwent pneumonectomy without cerebral infarction. Continuous data were expressed as median and interquartile range, and categorical data were expressed as frequencies and percentages. Independent risk factors for developing cerebral infarction after pneumonectomy were analysed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.

    Measured: 5min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell and Postoperative Cerebral Infarction, run by Xinghua Cheng 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 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Analysing independent risk factors for cerebral infarction after pneumonectomy (time frame: 5min). 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 NCT06942845, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 24 Apr 2025.
