Trial summary

This is a cohort study in which patients who survive Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) during intensive care unit (ICU) admission are recalled at 3-6 months and renal function tests are performed. The purpose of the study is describe renal function in AKI survivors at follow-up. Read more about this study

About this study

This is a cohort study in which patients who survive Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) during intensive care unit (ICU) admission are recalled at 3-6 months and renal function tests are performed.

The purpose of the study is describe renal function in AKI survivors at follow-up.

Additional aims are to determine how well admission values of renal function markers perform as predictors of renal function at follow-up and whether estimates of renal function at follow-up differ depending on which renal function marker is used.

Read the detailed description

Type of study: Cohort study with prospectively collected clinical data cross-matched with local \& national databases.

Source population: Patients suffering from AKI on a mixed intensive care unit, at the Karolinska University Hospital, Solna.

Setting: Single centre, Central Intensive Care unit Karolinska University hospital, Solna, Stockholm from September 2008 and May 2011.

Exposure: AKI on ICU and grade of AKI according to the RIFLE criteria Intervention: none

Outcome: Renal function 3 months after ICU discharge according to creatinine and Cystatin C measurements.

Parameters: Co-morbidities, ICU diagnoses, disease severity score, daily physiological and laboratory parameters, medications administered, interventions RRT (Renal replacement therapy), mechanical intervention, inotropes, surgery.

Data is crossmatched with national registries including the Swedish cause of death register (to obtain dates of death), the Swedish renal register (to obtain details of patients receiving chronic dialysis and with pre-existing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) diagnoses. Data is also cross matched with a large local ICU register (Clinisoft) to obtain physiological parameters\& intervention details. Clinisoft is also used to obtain risk of death for all ICU patients and all AKI patients (from the source population). Ethical approval has been granted by Stockholm Regional ethical review body (2008-408-32 2008/443-31/1-3, 2010/1780-31-2, 2011-408-32 and 2016-1801-32).

Aims:

  1. Describe the incidence of renal dysfunction in terms of Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) under 60ml/min/173m² at 3-6 months follow-up after AKI. According to serum Cystatin C and Creatinine values.
  2. Describe the incidence of Acute Kidney Disease (AKD) at 3 month follow-up.
  3. Produce a predictive model using comorbidities and admission data to CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and AKD 3-6 after AKI in intensive care patients.
  4. Examine how estimated GFR using creatinine and Cystatin C differ from measured Iohexol GFR at 6 month follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 3 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 23 Aug 2017. 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 Sweden. 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?

Renal function (time frame: 3-9 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 NCT02894164, 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 23 Aug 2017.
