About this study

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the association between intraoperative perfusion variability and postoperative troponin elevation in geriatric patients undergoing major oncologic surgery. Intraoperative hemodynamic and perfusion-related parameters will be recorded, and postoperative troponin levels will be assessed to investigate whether intraoperative perfusion changes are associated with myocardial injury. Troponin measurements will be obtained preoperatively and at 24 hours after surgery

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Geriatric Patients Undergoing Major Oncologic SurgeryGeriatric patients undergoing elective major oncolojic surgery will be prospectively observed.Intraoperative hemodynamic and perfusion-related parameters will be recorded, and serum troponin levels will be measured preoperatively and 24 hours after surgery to evaluate the association between intraoperative perfusion variability and postoperative troponin elevation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Serum Troponin Concentration From Preoperative Baseline to 24 Hours After Surgery

    Postoperative troponin elevation will be assessed by comparing serum troponin levels measured preoperatively and 24 hours after surgery. Its association with intraoperative perfusion variability will be evaluated.

    Measured: Preoperatively and 24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Association Between Intraoperative Perfusion Index and Postoperative Troponin Elevation

    Perfusion Index (PI) will be continuously monitored intraoperatively and recorded at 15-minute intervals. The association between intraoperative PI values and postoperative troponin elevation at 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated.

    Measured: Intraoperative monitoring from the start to the end of surgery; troponin measured preoperatively and at 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Association Between Intraoperative Pleth Variability Index and Postoperative Troponin Elevation

    Pleth Variability Index (PVI) will be continuously monitored intraoperatively and recorded at 15-minute intervals. The association between intraoperative PVI values and postoperative troponin elevation at 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated.

    Measured: Intraoperative monitoring from the start to the end of surgery; troponin measured preoperatively and at 24 hours postoperatively.

  3. Association Between Intraoperative Cerebral Oxygen Saturation and Postoperative Troponin Elevation

    Cerebral oxygen saturation measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) will be continuously monitored intraoperatively and recorded at 15-minute intervals. The association between intraoperative cerebral oxygen saturation values and postoperative troponin elevation at 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated.

    Measured: Intraoperative monitoring from the start to the end of surgery; troponin measured preoperatively and at 24 hours postoperatively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Troponin Elevation and Intraoperative Perfusion, run by Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology 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 5 inclusion and 7 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2026. 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?

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?

Change in Serum Troponin Concentration From Preoperative Baseline to 24 Hours After Surgery (time frame: Preoperatively and 24 hours after surgery). 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 16 Sep 2026.
