About this study

Official title: In a Developing Country; What is the Fate of Hematologic Cancer Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation for More Than One Day? A Prospective Cohort Study

This observational cohort aimed to re-evaluate the outcome of hematologic cancer patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Mansoura oncology center through a cohort study as regards their need for mechanical ventilation during two years.

Read the detailed description

It has been believed for many years that the scene of cancer patients requiring mechanical ventilation is frustrating. The needed life support measures drain much of health resources and add a significant burden on the patient's family. Many factors have been responsible for the high mortality rates among hematologic cancer patients admitted to intensive care unit. Among of these factors, the invasive treatments that are frequently employed in today's intensive care unit. These procedures give chance for development of severe infection and multiple organ failure which are common events in immune-compromised patients (e.g. neutropenia) and in those exposed to chemotherapy. The most common form of organ failure in those patients is acute respiratory failure which is a major predictor of mortality in that population. The prognosis of such failure may vary depending on its causes and severity, co morbidity, associated acute organ failure and characters of the underlying malignancy. After the recent advances in the field of intensive care and shedding light on the benefits of the noninvasive ventilation in immune-compromised patients, the overall survival rate of cancer patients admitted to intensive care unit are improving.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival

    Continuing to live

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 30 days after admission to intensive care unit

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score

    Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score

    Measured: up to 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit

  2. Simplified Acute Physiology Score II

    Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II)

    Measured: up to 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit

  3. Mode of mechanical ventilation

    synchronised intermittent, pressure-controlled, volume-controlled, pressure support, continuous positive airway pressure, volume guarantee, adjusted pressure release ventilation, or adaptive proportional assist ventilation

    Measured: up to 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit

  4. lowest Pa02/FiO2

    PaO2 "arterial oxygen tension"/FiO2 "inspired fraction of oxygen" ratio

    Measured: up to 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit

  5. Reason for need of ventilatory support

    Advanced malignancy, respiratory muscle weakness, respiratory failure, lung metastasis, coma, sepsis, multi-organs failure

    Measured: up to 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematological Malignancy and Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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 29 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 Egypt. 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?

Survival (time frame: through study completion, an average of 30 days after admission to intensive care unit). 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 29 Sep 2015.
