Metabolomics and Biomarker Research on the Mechanism of Preoperative Sleep Disorders Affecting Postoperative Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery Patients

China144 participantsStarted 2026-01-01

Plain-language summary

This study is titled "Metabolomics and Biomarker Research on the Mechanism of Preoperative Sleep Disorders Affecting Postoperative Outcomes in Adult Cardiac Surgery". It aims to clarify the perioperative metabolic changes caused by preoperative sleep disorders in adult cardiac surgery patients, providing ideas for exploring the mechanism by which sleep disorders affect adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery. The study will be conducted at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. By collecting perioperative blood and fecal samples from adult cardiac surgery patients with and without preoperative sleep disorders, and simultaneously recording postoperative clinical outcome indicators (such as the incidence of delirium within 7 days after surgery, cognitive function scores, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time, hospital stay time, and severe cardiovascular adverse events), the study will explore the impact of preoperative sleep disorders on perioperative plasma metabolic substances, inflammatory levels, nerve damage, oxidative stress levels, and intestinal flora in adult cardiac surgery patients under general anesthesia, providing ideas and evidence for exploring the mechanism by which preoperative sleep disorders affect postoperative outcomes in adult cardiac surgery patients under general anesthesia.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
