About this study

Official title: Preventing Acute Kidney Injury and Improving Outcome in Critically Ill Patients Utilising Risk Prediction Score - a Pilot Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

An interventional controlled trial to test the feasibility of applying risk score based prevention for critically ill patient at high risk to develop acute kidney injury (AKI)

Read the detailed description

Background and rationale AKI is common in the intensive care unit .It contributes significantly to mortality and morbidity .the estimated incidence or AKI among critically ill patients is 30-40% and morality is high.

There is a well recognized gap between the optimal care and the delivered care regarding prevention and management of AKI.

The focus over the last few years has been on early detection. A panel of urinary biomarkers have proved helpful for early detection of AKI. However the cost and low specificity make no single one of them solely reliable .using a panel of bio-markers increases their specificity.

The concept of electronic alerts has been recently introduced. Some trials have been testing its impact on the outcome of AKI. The benefit of electronic alerts is still uncertain .A meta-analysis is currently underway to synthesize stronger evidence of electronic alerts benefit.

Another evolving area, is the development of risk score to predict AKI and and hence applying timely preventive measures.

KDIGO recommends applying preventive measures to high risk patients. However no study to date has tested risk scores based interventions

Hypothesis:

We will use the recently validated score to predict AKI in ICU patients. We will then apply preventive measures. To patients at risk .To our knowledge this is the first study to apply preventive interventions based on AKI risk score assessment

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Measures to prevent AKI among critically ill patientsOther

    1. Meticulous optimization of the fluid balance
    2. Avoidance of nephrotoxic medications where possible
    3. Optimisation of the hemodynamic status
    4. Avoidance of blood transfusion unless marked acute blood loss or symptomatic anemia
    5. Optimization of the underlying medical condition
    6. Seek expert renal advise when necessary

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ObservationalNo interventionpatients will be recruited to this arm to observe prospectively the incidence of AKI among critically ill patients.patients will receive the standard care.No other intervention will be delivered
InterventionalActive comparatorPatients in this arm will be subject to AKI risk score. This risk score was recently developed and validated in Mayo clinic the intervention will be Measures to prevent AKI among critically ill patients
Receives: Other: Measures to prevent AKI among critically ill patients

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of AKI

    We will compare the incidence rate between the interventional and the observational arm

    Measured: during 7 days of ICU admission

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. 30 day mortality

    all cause mortality during 30 days of ICU admission or within 30 days of developement of AKI

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Time to recovery after development of AKI

    Time interval between the diagnosis of AKI and recovery of either blood chemistry or oliguria

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Deterioration of AKI stage

    Transition from initial stage KDIGO stage 1 to either 2 or 3 .Transition from initial stage 2 to 3

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Duration of dialysis dependency

    time patient remains dialysis-dependant after severe AKI.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measures to prevent AKI among critically ill patients in people with Acute Kidney Injury and Critical Illness, run by Kasr El Aini Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 26 Feb 2019. 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?

Incidence of AKI (time frame: during 7 days of ICU admission). 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 26 Feb 2019.
