Trial summary

The SOFA score is a severity of illness and prognostic score used in the ICU. It has also recently been adopted as part of the definition of sepsis. This study will prospectively evaluate the usability of automated SOFA scoring for ICU patients within an electronic patient monitoring dashboard. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Clinical Score Usefulness and Feasibility of Integration Into Electronic Health Record Interfaces

The SOFA score is a severity of illness and prognostic score used in the ICU. It has also recently been adopted as part of the definition of sepsis. This study will prospectively evaluate the usability of automated SOFA scoring for ICU patients within an electronic patient monitoring dashboard. It will also assess for changes in physician ordering (volume and types of orders) after automatic scoring is implemented.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis, run by Mayo Clinic.

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 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 29 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

SOFA related laboratory order volume (time frame: 2 months). 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 Mar 2017.
