Trial summary

Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and is a major reason for ICU admission. Cardiac function is often impaired in this disease but its association with clinical outcome has not been fully established. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients meeting the diagnostic criteria of AECOPD and admitted to ICU are potentially eligible for the present study. The diagnosis of AECOPD is based on that defined in Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. AECOPD is defined using definitive criteria with at least two of the following major symptoms: increased dyspnea, increased sputum purulence, increased sputum volume; or one major and one minor symptom: nasal discharge/congestion, wheeze, sore throat and cough for at least two consecutive days.

Who may be able to join

  • COPD patients experiencing episode of exacerbation and require mechanical ventilation were admitted to ICU

Who cannot join

  • COPD patients admitted to ICU due to other reasons (major surgery, ischemic heart disease, and renal failure)
  • moribund and expected to die within 48 hours
  • with Do-Not-Resuscitation order

About this study

Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and is a major reason for ICU admission. Cardiac function is often impaired in this disease but its association with clinical outcome has not been fully established. The study aims to investigate the association between cardiac dysfunction and clinclial outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study conducted in a 47-bed mixed ICU of tertiary academic teaching hospital. The study will be performed between January 2014 to December 2015. All patients meeting the diagnostic criteria of AECOPD and admitted to ICU are potentially eligible for the present study. Relevant demographics and laboratory measurements are obtained. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is performed immediately after ICU admission by experienced intensivists. Cox proportional hazard regression model is fitted by using stepwise forward selection and backward elimination technique. If linear assumption is not satisfied, the linear spline function will be used.

What is being measured

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

  1. 28-day mortality

    28 days after ICU admission; if a patient leave ICU before 28-days, it is considered as censored.

    Measured: 28 days after ICU admission

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. duration of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: from ICU admission to extubation, an expected average of 8 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD Patients and Mechanical Ventilation, run by Jinhua Central Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 Sep 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 China. 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?

28-day mortality (time frame: 28 days after ICU admission). 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 NCT02099279, 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 1 Sep 2015.
