About this study

Official title: Comparison of Alternative Non-invasive and Invasive Methods of Haemoglobin Measuring With the Gold Standard in Preterm and Term Neonates

In this prospective study different methods of haemoglobin measurement in term and preterm neonates are compared with the gold standard. Non-invasive haemoglobin measurement with the Radical-7® (SpHb, Masimo®), point-of-care haemoglobin-measurement (HcHb, HemoCue@, Radiometer), blood-gas-analysis (BGAHb,ABL800®, Radiometer) are compared with haemoglobin measurement by an automated hematology analyzer (labHb, Siemens Advia®).

Read the detailed description

Neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit or to a normal neonatal ward are enrolled in the study, if parents have given their written informed consent. Non-invasive SpHb measurements are recorded prior to routine venous sampling. Routine venous sampling includes labHb and BGAHb. Additionally HcHb is taken from the routine venous sampling (HcHbart/ven) and from an additionally capillary puncture of earlobe or heel (HcHbcap). Every neonate can participate in two measurements.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
hemoglobin measurement armOtherIn this arm hemoglobin measurement is done by four different devices * device "Radical-7" for non-invasive measurement of SpHb * device "HemoCue" for taking capillary and venous blood for measurement of HcHb * device "ABL 800" for measurement of BGAHb * device "Siemens ADVIA" for measurement of labHb For measurement of haemoglobin by the devices the following interventions have to be done: * venous or arterial puncture (routine) * capillary puncture * placing of the "Radical 7" sensor
Receives: Other: hemoglobin measurement

What is being measured

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

  1. accuracy of different methods (SpHb, HcHb,BGAHb) of haemoglobin measurement compared with the gold standard labHb

    accuracy is assessed by Bland-Altman-method of comparison, by Root mean square error and by out of range

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. handling of the SpHb-device

    measurement of how often the Radical-7 has to be replaced and of the time until a stable Signal appears

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  2. influence of weight and gender on accuracy of SpHb

    correlation of PI with the accuracy of SpHb

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  3. influence of PI (perfusion index) on accuracy of SpHb

    correlation of PI with the accuracy of SpHb

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  4. influence of concentration of HbF on accuracy of SpHb,BGAHb, HcHb

    correlation of concentration of HbF with the accuracy of SpHb

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  5. influence of concentration of Hb on accuracy of SpHb,BGAHb, HcHb

    correlation of concentration of Hb with the accuracy of SpHb

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  6. agreement of concentration of HbF of BGAHb with HbF of labHb

    accuracy is assessed by Bland-Altman-method of comparison

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hemoglobin measurement in people with Hemoglobins and Infant, run by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz at 1 site in Germany.

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 25 Feb 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

accuracy of different methods (SpHb, HcHb,BGAHb) of haemoglobin measurement compared with the gold standard labHb (time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 months). 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 NCT02722759, 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 25 Feb 2020.
