About this study

The aim of the proposed study is to determine the incidence and prevalence of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in consecutive intensive care admissions using broad inclusion criteria.

Read the detailed description

Increased pressure within the abdominal cavity is particularly common in intensive care patients and has been shown to be an independent risk-factor for mortality in this patient population. The quoted rates of intra-abdominal hypertension of range anywhere from 20-60% are dependent on the population of patient studied. The prospective observational studies performed to date have been underpowered, used strict inclusion/exclusion criteria or were performed prior to consensus guidelines on the definition and measurement of intra-abdominal pressure and hypertension.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    As measured prospectively by patient death in the ICU

    Measured: While patient in-hospital, expected stay one week on average

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Length of stay

    Measured prospectively from date of admission to ICU to death, or discharge from ICU

    Measured: While patient in-hospital, expected stay one week on average

  2. Abdominal decompression

    Midline laparotomy for abdominal compartment syndrome

    Measured: While patient in-hospital, expected stay one week on average

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intra-Abdominal Hypertension and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, run by Western University, Canada at 1 site in Canada.

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 27 Aug 2018. 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 Canada. 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: While patient in-hospital, expected stay one week on average). 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 NCT02514135, 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 27 Aug 2018.
