About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether variability of CPP (cerebral perfusion pressure) is related to sepsis-associated encephalopathy and outcomes of patients with sepsis.

Read the detailed description

Encephalopathy is a common complication of sepsis, impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation (AR) in patients with sepsis is considered related to Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). As AR is important in stabilizing the cerebral perfusion pressure, whether greater variability of CPP is related to SAE and mortality or not remains unclear. We conduct this study to evaluate the relationship between them.

What is being measured

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

  1. relationship between cerebral perfusion pressure variability and sepsis-associated encephalopathy

    To estimate CPP noninvasively, we will monitor the middle cerebral artery flow velocity of patients with sepsis using transcranial Doppler ultrasound in the first 72h of their enrollment. Diagnosis of a SAE was performed using the confusion assessment method for ICU(CAM-ICU).

    Measured: cerebral perfusion pressure is assessed up to 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Duration of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: All the participants will be followed up until discharge or death, assessed up to 24 months

  2. Time of ICU stay

    Measured: All the participants will be followed up until discharge or death, assessed up to 24 months

  3. Time of hospital stay

    Measured: All the participants will be followed up until discharge or death, assessed up to 24 months

  4. 90-day mortality rate

    Measured: All the participants will be followed up until 90 days after their enrollment or death

  5. 1-year mortality rate

    Measured: All the participants will be followed up until 1 year after their enrollment or death

  6. 2-year mortality rate

    Measured: All the participants will be followed up until 2 years after their enrollment or death

  7. 1-year quality of life of survivors

    EQ-5D will be used to evaluate quality of life of survivors

    Measured: All the participants will be followed up until 1 year after their enrollment or death

  8. 2-year quality of life of survivors

    EQ-5D will be used to evaluate quality of life of survivors

    Measured: All the participants will be followed up until 2 year after their enrollment or death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis, run by Kang Yan 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 6 Nov 2017. 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?

relationship between cerebral perfusion pressure variability and sepsis-associated encephalopathy (time frame: cerebral perfusion pressure is assessed up to 72 hours). 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 6 Nov 2017.
