Preoperative blood inflammation markers to predict nausea after orchiopexy in children
Official title: Association of Preoperative Inflammatory Biomarkers With Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Children Undergoing Orchiopexy
Run by Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital · NCT07148063 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test whether preoperative blood inflammation markers can help predict which children aged 1–8 will have nausea and vomiting after orchiopexy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 1–8 years with ASA physical status I–II who are scheduled for elective orchiopexy and whose parents/guardians can give informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Children outside the 1–8 year range, those with active infections, ASA III or higher, or a history of prior nausea/vomiting are excluded and unlikely to benefit from these findings.

What this trial studies
This prospective observational study will enroll children aged 1–8 undergoing elective orchiopexy and record preoperative inflammatory markers including NLR, PLR, SII, MLR, and SIRI. Blood counts will be measured before surgery and patients will be monitored for postoperative nausea and vomiting during the immediate recovery period. Researchers will analyze whether baseline marker levels correlate with PONV incidence while excluding children with active infection, prior nausea/vomiting history, or ASA III+ status. The goal is to see if routine laboratory measures can identify higher-risk children for targeted prophylaxis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, clinicians could use routine preoperative blood counts to identify children at higher risk of PONV and offer targeted anti-nausea prevention.
How similar studies have gone: Previous adult and some pediatric studies have linked inflammatory markers like NLR and PLR to postoperative complications and PONV risk, but applying SII, MLR, and SIRI specifically to young orchiopexy patients is relatively novel.
