Registered outcomes10
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Rate of false amplitude decrease greater than 50% | Intraoperative recording (up to 4 hours), with true nerve injury status ascertained by postoperative laryngoscopy within 2 weeks after surgery | Proportion of evaluations in which the amplitude at vagal stimulation after resection (V2) is more than 50% lower than the amplitude at vagal stimulation before resection (V1), among nerves in which no true nerve injury is present. One nerve per patient is analyzed, on the first side evaluated, and the two electrode types are compared within the same nerve using the two-sided exact McNemar test. True nerve injury is determined by a combination of a standard loss-of-signal algorithm, intraoperative findings and, where indicated, postoperative laryngoscopy performed within 2 weeks after surgery. |
| Secondary | Proportion of evaluations with a baseline amplitude of 500 microvolts or more at vagal stimulation before resection (V1) | Intraoperative, before resection (up to 2 hours) | |
| Secondary | Proportion of evaluations in which the final amplitude is unchanged or higher than baseline | Intraoperative, up to 4 hours | |
| Secondary | Signal amplitude in microvolts at each stimulation step | Intraoperative, up to 4 hours | Amplitude recorded at vagal stimulation before dissection (V1), recurrent laryngeal nerve stimulation after identification (R1), recurrent laryngeal nerve stimulation after completion of lobar dissection (R2) and vagal stimulation at the end of the procedure (V2). |
| Secondary | Signal latency in milliseconds at each stimulation step | Intraoperative, up to 4 hours | Latency recorded at vagal stimulation before dissection (V1), recurrent laryngeal nerve stimulation after identification (R1), recurrent laryngeal nerve stimulation after completion of lobar dissection (R2) and vagal stimulation at the end of the procedure (V2). |
| Secondary | Rate of technical failure, defined as failure to obtain a baseline signal | Intraoperative, before resection (up to 2 hours) | |
| Secondary | Positive and negative predictive value of each electrode type for true nerve injury | From surgery to 3 months after surgery | |
| Secondary | Change in Turkish Voice Handicap Index-10 total score | Baseline, 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery | The Turkish version of the Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) is a 10-item patient-reported questionnaire on voice-related handicap. Each item is scored from 0 to 4, giving a total score from 0 (best) to 40 (worst). Higher scores indicate greater voice handicap, so an increase from baseline is a worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Change in Turkish Eating Assessment Tool-10 total score | Baseline, 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery | The Turkish version of the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) is a 10-item patient-reported questionnaire on swallowing difficulty. Each item is scored from 0 to 4, giving a total score from 0 (best) to 40 (worst). Higher scores indicate greater swallowing difficulty, so an increase from baseline is a worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Incidence of adverse events attributed to electrode placement | From surgery to 3 months after surgery |
