About this study

Official title: Intensivist Performed Limited B Mode Compression Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis in the Intensive Care Unit

We propose an observational study to assess the ability of intensivists to evaluate for deep vein thrombosis using 2 point compression ultrasonography.

Read the detailed description

Deep vein thrombosis is a common problem in the intensive care unit and diagnosis is often delayed due to limited availability of a formal duplex ultrasound. Physician performed 2 point compression ultrasonography has been shown to have reasonable accuracy when performed in the emergency department and outpatient setting, but has not been studied on patients in the intensive care unit. We propose an observational study to assess the ability of intensivists to evaluate for deep vein thrombosis using 2 point compression ultrasonography.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The agreement between physician performed ultrasound and formal duplex ultrasonography for detection of proximal deep vein thrombosis.

    Measured: 48 hours window from detailed US

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Subgroup analysis: location of thrombus (proximal or distal)

    Measured: 48 hours window from detailed US

  2. Subgroup analysis: number of days in the hospital prior to exam

    Measured: 48 hours window from detailed US

  3. Subgroup analysis: body mass index (BMI)

    Measured: 48 hours window from detailed US

  4. Subgroup analysis: weight gain from admission to the time of the exam

    Measured: 48 hours window from detailed US

  5. Subgroup analysis: training level of examiner

    Measured: 48 hours window from detailed US

  6. Subgroup analysis: difficulty of exam

    Measured: 48 hours window from detailed US

  7. Subgroup analysis: specific examiner

    Measured: 48 hours window from detailed US

  8. Subgroup analysis: presence or absence of calf vein thrombosis

    Measured: at study conclusion

  9. Subgroup analysis: presence or absence of pulmonary embolism

    Measured: at study conclusion

  10. Subgroup analysis: DVT location

    Measured: at study conclusion

  11. Subgroup analysis: calf vein thrombosis

    Measured: at study conclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS, run by University of Missouri-Columbia at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2016. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Investigator left the institution). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The agreement between physician performed ultrasound and formal duplex ultrasonography for detection of proximal deep vein thrombosis. (time frame: 48 hours window from detailed US). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Sep 2016.
