Observational Study on Body Composition and Breast Reconstruction Outcomes
This study is looking at how your body composition (the amount of fat, muscle, and bone you have) might affect the results of breast reconstruction surgery. Researchers will use a special device called a bioelectrical impedance analyzer to measure your body composition before and after your surgery. They will also review your medical records to collect information about your health and surgery. The goal is to understand if differences in body composition are linked to complications after breast reconstruction. This study is for adults aged 18 and older who have breast cancer or a high risk of breast cancer and are planning to have a mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. The study aims to enroll 40 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving you any specific treatments. It plans to include 40 participants.
- What's involved
- You would have your body composition measured before and after surgery. Researchers will also collect information from your medical records.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for up to 2 years after their surgery.

What this trial measures
- Proportion of Body Composition Measurement Collectionup to 2 years
The proportion of enrolled participants with successfully obtained body composition measurements at both preoperative and postoperative timepoints. A success rate of ≥90% will be considered feasible. The proportion of the participants meets feasibility will be reported.
