Trial summary

Post-operative acute renal failure is a severe post-operative complication and is associated with high mortality. The enhanced prediction score, including pre-as well as intra-operative predictors accurately predicted ARF following hepatic surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of an Enhanced Prediction Score for Post-operative Acute Renal Failure Following Liver Resection

Post-operative acute renal failure is a severe post-operative complication and is associated with high mortality. The enhanced prediction score, including pre-as well as intra-operative predictors accurately predicted ARF following hepatic surgery. This prediction score allows early identification of patients at high risk of ARF and may support decision-making for protective kidney treatment.

Read the detailed description

To enhance and validate an already pre-existing score accurately predicting post-operative acute renal failure (ARF) after hepatic surgery

We will enhance a pre-existing score predicting ARF based on pre-operative as well as intra-operative predictors.

Development process: we will identify the strongest predictors of ARF in a multivariable logistic regression model followed by a stepwise backward logistic regression analysis and bootstrapping.

Validation process: we will perform an internal validation by calibrating the prediction model as well as by k-fold cross validation (c statistics) and bootstrapping. Additionally, we will calculate the discrimination by the area under the curve (AUC).

Decision curve analysis: Furthermore we will perform a decision curve analysis to evaluate the clinical consequences of both prediction scores whether a patient with increased ARF risk would post-operative benefit of a treatment on the ICU.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01318798
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with post-operative ARFPatients developing acute renal failure (ARF) following liver surgery ARF was defined according to the RIFLE criteria as an absolute increase in serum-creatinine of more than 0.3 mg/dl above baseline, or an increase of more than 1.5 times the pre-operative baseline value within 48 hours after surgery, or a reduction of urinary output less than 0.5 ml/kg/h for at least 6 hrs.
Patients without post-operative ARFPatients with normal kidney function (without acute renal failure (ARF)) following liver surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Development of an enhanced prediction score for ARF

    Development of an enhanced but still simple and easy applicable score based on pre- and extended by intra-operative risk factors to predict postoperative ARF in patients scheduled for liver resection

    Measured: within 48 hours post-operative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Decision curve analysis

    Describing a decision making model by performing a decision curve analysis for clinical consequences of the enhanced prediction score and comparing it with the pre-operative prediction score

    Measured: within 48 hours post-operative

  2. internal validation of the enhanced prediction score

    internal Validation: discrimination, calibration, k-fold cross validation and bootstrapping

    Measured: within 48 hours post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Renal Failure, run by University of Zurich 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Development of an enhanced prediction score for ARF (time frame: within 48 hours post-operative). 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 NCT01318798, 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 10 Feb 2015.
