About this study

Official title: Short-Stay Intensive Care for Coronary Artery Bypass Patients,Development of a Guideline for Giving Adequate Care on the Cardiosurgical Intensive Care

Objective: To evaluate the safety and cost-effectiveness of Short Stay Intensive Care (SSIC) treatment for low-risk coronary artery bypass patients Design: Randomized clinical equivalence trial Setting: University Hospital Maastricht, the Netherlands Patients: low-risk coronary artery bypass patients Interventions: 600 patients were randomly assigned to undergo either SSIC treatment (8 hours Intensive Care) or control treatment (care as usual, overnight Intensive Care).

Measurements: The primary outcome measures were Intensive Care (IC) readmissions and total hospital stay. The secondary outcome measures were total hospital costs, Quality of Life (QoL), postoperative morbidity and mortality. Hospital costs consisted of the cost of hospital admission(s) and outpatient costs.

Being tested
Control group (usual care), Short-Stay Intensive Care treatment (SSIC)

What participants receive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Short-Stay Intensive Care treatment (SSIC) in people with Coronary Artery Bypass, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intensive Care (IC) readmissions (time frame: one month postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00707044, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Feb 2017.
