Trial Outcomes & Findings for Periodontal Infection and Endothelial Dysfunction (NCT NCT00681564)

NCT ID: NCT00681564

Last Updated: 2014-04-17

Results Overview

All the assessments of vascular function were performed in the morning, in a temperature controlled room, with participants required to fast for at least 8 hours. Flow-mediated, endothelium dependent vasodilatation of the brachial artery (FMD) was measured using the technique described by Celermajer et al. using the guidelines reported by Coretti et al. FMD was calculated as the percentage of change in the diameter of brachial artery measured 45-60 s after cuff release in relation to the baseline measure (FMD%).

Participant Flow

rom April 2008 to March 2011 three hundred and six subjects were assessed for eligibility to participate in this randomized clinical trial. One hundred and two patients were randomized to the control (n=55) and treatment group (n=47). At 12 weeks of follow-up, 47 patients (control group) and 41 patients (treatment group) completed the study.

Two hundred and four patients were excluded from this study for the following reasons: no fulfillment of inclusion criteria (n=183), refusal to participate (n=4), not assistance to study appointments (n=15), and another reasons (n=2).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline; 24 hours post periodontal therapy; 12 weeks post periodontal therapy

Population: The primary outcome (difference on endothelium-dependent brachial artery FMD at baseline and three months after randomization) and the secondary outcome (hs-CRP, glucose, blood lipid profile and cardiovascular biomarkers) were analyzed using kruskal-wallis and unpaired t test depending on the distribution of the variables.

All the assessments of vascular function were performed in the morning, in a temperature controlled room, with participants required to fast for at least 8 hours. Flow-mediated, endothelium dependent vasodilatation of the brachial artery (FMD) was measured using the technique described by Celermajer et al. using the guidelines reported by Coretti et al. FMD was calculated as the percentage of change in the diameter of brachial artery measured 45-60 s after cuff release in relation to the baseline measure (FMD%).
