About this study

Official title: Impact of Prolonged Tachycardia on Cardiovascular Morbidity and Outcome After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)

The purpose of this retrospective study is to test the hypothesis that uncontrolled tachycardia serves as a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events and poor outcome after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH).

Read the detailed description

The design of the current study will be to conduct a retrospective analysis of prolonged heart rate and uncontrolled tachycardia using patients enrolled in the investigators prospective observational cohort study since the electronic medical record systems have been implemented. The investigators know that there have been periods when these electronic systems have failed, resulting in lost data. The investigators anticipate retrospective collection of hourly heart rate for approximately 400 SAH patients that will have ICU data and 3 month modified Rankin documented in our Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Outcomes Project (SHOP) database. The investigators will determine what percent of them have prolonged elevated heart rate and tachycardia. Prolonged heart rate and uncontrolled tachycardia has been defined as a heart rate greater than 95 for greater than 12 hours in one 24 hour period of their ICU stay. The investigators will conduct a ROC curve analysis to determine the appropriate heart rate and duration thresholds that are most predictive of poor prognosis after SAH. Patients be will stratified based on several criteria including admission coma score, early (SAH day 0 to 3) or late (SAH day >=4) ICU admission, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage on admission CT, history of beta-blocker usage, age, and gender.

What is being measured

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

  1. modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score

    Measured: Three months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prevalence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)

    1. pulmonary edema,

    4. myocardial infarction, and
    5. serious cardiac arrhythmias including sudden cardiac arrest.
    6. length of ICU and hospital stay for patients with and without uncontrolled tachycardia

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) and Tachycardia, run by Columbia University 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 4 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 10 Sep 2019. 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. 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?

modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score (time frame: Three months). 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 10 Sep 2019.
