An observational study in Aortic Diseases, sponsored by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS. Recruiting at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-09.
Sponsored by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · Observational
Aortic diseases encompass a wide spectrum of congenital and acquired, acute and chronic conditions, characterized by high clinical and prognostic complexity. The aorta plays a central role in blood flow distribution and hemodynamic modulation owing to its elastic properties, which become progressively impaired with aging and in the presence of genetic or degenerative factors. Beyond clinical outcomes, aortic diseases lead to a marked reduction in health-related quality of life, psychological well-being, and functional capacity, with significant occupational and social consequences, thereby making multidisciplinary management necessary. This longitudinal observational study aims to systematically assess health-related quality of life, fatigue, psychological well-being, and work ability in patients with aortic diseases, with the objective of providing objective bases for occupational risk evaluation and promoting an interdisciplinary management model that integrates clinical, psychological, and work-related aspects, thereby supporting the maintenance or recovery of work functioning.
108 studies on the registry are indexed under Aortic Diseases; 43 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 300 is above the median of 186 across 62 observational studies indexed under Aortic Diseases.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Change in Work Ability Index (WAI) score from baseline to 12 months in patients with aortic diseases
Work ability will be assessed using the Work Ability Index (WAI), a validated questionnaire composed of seven dimensions evaluating current work ability, work demands, health status, sickness absence, prognosis of future work ability, and psychological resources. The total WAI score ranges from 7 to 49 points, with higher scores indicating better work ability. The primary outcome is the change in total WAI score between baseline and the 12-month follow-up assessment.
Time frame: 12 months
Started Mar 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2028, 24 months after the start.
Of 33 observational studies under Aortic Diseases, half reached primary completion within 98 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 43 and three quarters within 203. This study's planned 24 months is below that.
