About this study

Official title: Ureteral Stents Versus Percutaneous Nephrostomy for Initial Urinary Drainage in Children With Obstructive Anuria and Acute Renal Failure Due to Ureteral Calculi: a Prospective, Randomized Study

To compare percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) versus double J stent (JJ) as an initial urinary drainage in children

Read the detailed description

To compare percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) versus double J stent (JJ) as an initial urinary drainage in children with obstructive calcular anuria and acute renal failure due to ureteric calculi to identify selection criteria for initial urinary drainage method to improve drainage, to decrease complications and to facilitate subsequent definitive clearance of stones as this comparison is lacking in literature

Being tested
percutaneous nephrostomy insertion, bilateral double J ureteric stent, Definitive stone management
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • percutaneous nephrostomy insertionProcedure or surgery

    Also called PCN insertion, nephrostomy insertion

    The 1st arm was drained by PCN. This was performed under general anesthesia (GA) and fluoroscopic guidance.

  • bilateral double J ureteric stentProcedure or surgery

    Also called JJ

    The 2nd arm was drained by bilateral JJ . This was performed under general anesthesia (GA) and fluoroscopic guidance.

  • Definitive stone managementProcedure or surgery

    Also called DSM

    (shockwave lithotripsy, chemodissolution therapy, ureteroscopy or open surgery) for clearance of stones.

What is being measured

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

  1. Period to Return to Normal Creatinine

    period required for normalization of serum creatinine after initial urinary drainage using percutaneous nephrostomy or ureteric stent in children with obstructive calcular anuria and Acute Renal Failure

    serum creatinine was compared to normal values in matched healthy children

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Complications of Each Drainage Method

    complications of initial urinary drainage using percutaneous nephrostomy or ureteric stent in children with Obstructive Anuria and Acute Renal Failure (mucosal complications, failure of insertion, slippage, fever and infection, hematuria, leakage)

    complications were calculated per 45 ureterorenal units in PCN group and 90 ureterorenal units in Double J group

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Number of Subsequent Interventions Needed for Clearance of Stones .

    The number of subsequent interventions needed for clearance of stones after normalization of serum creatinine in relation to initial urinary drainage method using percutaneous nephrostomy or ureteric stent in children with Obstructive Anuria and Acute Renal Failure

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing percutaneous nephrostomy insertion, bilateral double J ureteric stent and Definitive stone management in people with Children and Obstructive Uropathy, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 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 23 Apr 2014. 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 Egypt. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Apr 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Period to Return to Normal Creatinine (time frame: 1 week). The study lists 2 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 NCT02055430, 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 23 Apr 2014.
