Study population: The population under study is formed of patients admitted in 3 types of intensive care units (Medical intensive care unit, Surgical Intensive Care Unit and Cardiac Intensive Care Unit), transferred from emergency departments, either directly, or from another Department such as a Unit of short durations of hospitalization.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patient directly admitted in ICU from emergency departments of APHP (the public hospital system of the city of Paris).
  • Adult patient indirectly transferred to ICU from an hospitalization unit, initially admitted from an emergency department of APHP.

Who cannot join

About this study

This multicenter cohort aims to assess the impact of within-hospital trajectories of patients admitted in intensive care units from emergency departments on vital prognosis of patients, duration of hospital stay and hospital costs.

As secondary objectives, the study will:

  • assess the impact of clinical and demographic characteristics on hospital trajectories of patients.
  • assess the impact of emergency units workload, beds availability in medical units and in intensive care units, and global hospital organisation on patients care trajectories.
Read the detailed description

The study will be performed in emergency departments and ICUs of university hospitals. 15 emergency departments and 36 ICUs of APHP (the public hospital system of the city of Paris) will be involved.

The study will assemble the data from 50,000 to 80,000 patients in total.

Eligible patients are admitted in ICUs between 01/01/2007 and 12/31/2011.

Extraction of the patients' data will be performed with processing software utilised in APHP, i.e. Healthcare Information System Program (PMSI, Urqual, Gilda...etc.).

Collected patients' data span the period from admission in emergency department or medical department unitl hospital discharge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intensive Care Units and Emergency Department, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 17 Feb 2016. 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 France. 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?

Mortality (time frame: throughout the study: 5 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Feb 2016.
