About this study

Official title: Introduction of Protein S100 in the Routine Diagnostics in Patients With Minor Head Injury

In Patients with minor head injury measurement of protein S100 will be introduced to the emergency departement as another tool to rule out intracerebral bleeding.

Read the detailed description

Severe intracerebral bleeding is still a complication even in obvious minor head injury (MHI) that makes the use of CT scanning necessary in patients with only few signs of intracerebral injury. To reduce the number of cerebral CT scans without pathologic findings measurement of protein S100 level in serum will be used in the emergency departement (ED) at our hospital.

Our hypothesis: with measurement of S100 levels cCT scans and inpatient treatment can be reduced, radiation and costs can be reduced.

From January 1st 2010 for 3-6 months all patients with head injury (all GCS) will be tested for their initial S100 level. Cut off level is set at 0,105ng/ml. During this period test results will be blinded. Decisions for further diagnostics (x-ray, cCT) and inpatient vs. outpatient treatment are made on clinical impressions as they are made now. The test results will be monitored and compared with clinical cases. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values will be measured.

The aim is to identify patients without risk for intracerebral bleeding (ie S100 level lower than 0,105ng/ml). Those can be managed in an outpatient way. All other patients will be diagnosed and treated as it is now.

If the test will not miss one intracranial bleeding and will save cCT scans and inpatient treatment, measurement of protein S100 will become a routine diagnostic in our ED for patients with MHI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracerebral Hemorrhage, run by Kantonsspital Münsterlingen at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2015. 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 Switzerland. 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 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.

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 21 Apr 2015.
