Trial summary

Background. Acute renal failure after liver transplantation (LT) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) adversely affects patient survival. However, there are few reports to assess the predictors for postoperative CRRT in liver transplant patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Background. Acute renal failure after liver transplantation (LT) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) adversely affects patient survival. However, there are few reports to assess the predictors for postoperative CRRT in liver transplant patients. The investigators undertook this study to identify perioperative factors that would predict patients at risk of CRRT.

Patients and Methods. The investigators retrospectively reviewed the data of 148 liver transplant patients from January 2007 to November 2010 at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University HealthSystem, in Seoul, Korea. The number of patients treated with CRRT was 44 (18 patients from living and 26 from deceased donors) and those without CRRT was 104. Univariate and stepwise logistic multivariate analyses were performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. status before operation

    laboratory data(ex : total bilirubin, albumin, coagulation factors, blood gas analysis(arterial CO2 pressure. Blood urea nitrate/Creatinine, Hemoglobin/Hematocrit.)

    Measured: 1 day before operation

  2. the amount of ascites

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. the duration of anesthesia and operation

    Measured: intraoperative

  4. intraoperative hemodynamic instability

    Measured: intraoperative

  5. intraoperative bleeding

    Measured: intraoperative

  6. Intraoperative urine output

    Measured: intraoperative

  7. the types of donation(living or deceased donor)

    Measured: intraoperative

  8. survival rate

    Measured: on the postoperative 28th days, 365 days

  9. postoperative bleeding amount

    Measured: on the postoperative 28th days, 365 days.

  10. postoperative CRRT(continuous renal replacement therapy),

    Measured: on the postoperative 28th days, 365days

  11. mortality

    Measured: on the postoperative 28th days, 365 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Transplantation, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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 27 Feb 2013. 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 South Korea. 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?

status before operation (time frame: 1 day before operation). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01457534, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 27 Feb 2013.
