Trial summary

Stress ulcers or stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD) is defined as "acute superficial inflammation lesions of the gastric mucosa induced when an individual is subject to abnormally elevated physiologic demands."[1] Studies have shown that SRMD occurred in 75%-100% ICU patients[1].

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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The subject population that will be included in the NIS are the consecutive discharged patients ≥18 years old who were hospitalized to Neurosurgical departments and whose GCS≤10[4] within 24 hours of lesion/admission. The subjects will be focused on brain trauma, cerebral haemorrhage or postoperative brain tumour population.

Who may be able to join

  • The subject population that will be included in the NIS are the consecutive discharged patients ≥18 years old who were hospitalized to Neurosurgical departments. Those whose Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ≤10[4] within 24 hours of lesion/admission will be defined as critically ill patients. Three kinds of cases will be included: brain trauma critically ill patients, cerebral haemorrhage critically ill patients or postoperative brain tumour critically ill patients.

Who cannot join

  • If participating in any clinical trial, the subject cannot take part in this study. Subjects are ineligible if they have below conditions:
  • Those who were likely to swallow blood (for example, those with severe facial trauma or epistaxis;
  • Patients with previous total gastrectomy;
  • Known upper GI lesions that might bleed (e.g., varices, polyps, tumours, etc);
  • Evidence of active GI bleeding including oesophageal and gastric variceal bleeding, Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)

About this study

Stress ulcers or stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD) is defined as "acute superficial inflammation lesions of the gastric mucosa induced when an individual is subject to abnormally elevated physiologic demands."[1] Studies have shown that SRMD occurred in 75%-100% ICU patients[1]. Gastrointestinal bleeding due to SRMD is an important complication in critically ill patients. The frequency of clinically important bleeding ranged from 5.3% to 33%.[2] The mortality in ICU patients with stress related bleeding approaches 50%, which is much higher than the patients without bleeding (9%). [3] In 1999, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) published guidelines on the use of stress ulcer prophylaxis in medical, surgical, respiratory, and pediatric ICU patients [2]. PPIs and H2RA are widely used in China current clinical practice for the prevention of stress ulcer bleeding. However, there is no epidemiology data to show the risk factors for stress ulcer bleeding and the bleeding rate of Chinese neurosurgical critically ill patients who are usually suffering from brain trauma, cerebral haemorrhage or brain tumour operation. Information is needed to know about the characteristics in Chinese critically ill neurosurgical patients.

Objectives of this Non-Interventional Study Primary

Read more
  1. Primary objective: To estimate the overall incidence of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in critically ill neurosurgical patients in China.
  2. Main secondary objective
  • To estimate the incidence of upper GI bleeding with clinically significant complications in critically ill neurosurgical patients in China.
  • To estimate the incidence of any overt upper GI bleeding without clinically significant complications in critically ill neurosurgical patients in China.
  • To assess time to upper GI bleeding after a cerebral lesion.
  • To investigate potential risk factors associated with upper GI bleeding, and assess how common certain risk factors occurred in upper GI bleeding patients.
  • To assess the overall incidence of upper GI bleeding in critically ill patients by different risk factors for upper GI bleeding.
  • To investigate the drugs, the route of administration, the doses and the duration commonly used for stress ulcer prophylaxis.
  • To investigate the proportion of ICU patients with nasogastric tube, and the duration of nasogastric tube. (ICU: Intensive care unit PPIs: Proton pump inhibitors H2RA: H2 receptor antagonist)

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary variable is the overall incidence of upper GI bleeding in critically ill neurosurgical patients

    Measured: during the first 14 days (up to 14 days) after the cerebral lesion (trauma, haemorrhage or postoperative).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The incidence of upper GI bleeding with clinically significant complications in critically ill neurosurgical patients

    Measured: during the first 14 days (up to 14 days) after the cerebral lesion (trauma, haemorrhage or postoperative).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stress Ulcers and Stress-related Mucosal Disease (SRMD), run by AstraZeneca at 11 sites 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 5 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 28 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites 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?

The primary variable is the overall incidence of upper GI bleeding in critically ill neurosurgical patients (time frame: during the first 14 days (up to 14 days) after the cerebral lesion (trauma, haemorrhage or postoperative).). 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 NCT02316990, 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 28 Feb 2017.
