Trial summary

As mortality from critical illness has reduced, the importance of measuring disabilities (cognitive, functional and psychological) in surviving critically ill patients has become more important. Currently, the causes, long-term effects and frequency of disabilities in patients surviving ICU in Australia are unknown. Read more about this study

About this study

As mortality from critical illness has reduced, the importance of measuring disabilities (cognitive, functional and psychological) in surviving critically ill patients has become more important. Currently, the causes, long-term effects and frequency of disabilities in patients surviving ICU in Australia are unknown. In the US and UK, studies have been undertaken to assess the effects of specific long-term outcomes, such as functional disability and depression, which found long-term disabilities were much higher than baselines (pre-illness function) and ongoing at five years after ICU discharge. In order to improve quality of life of ICU survivors and ensure that medical specialists apply appropriate interventions to reduce the cost of these surviving patients on the community, the PREDICT management committee proposes the introduction of a patient-reported outcomes registry.

Read the detailed description

Critical illness affects more than 100,000 patients per year in Australia and more than 25,000 per year in Victoria. Although, hospital mortality in Australia and New Zealand has decreased over the past decade in all major admission categories, and 90% of these patients now survive to return to live in the community, just 28% of previously working ICU survivors are currently expected to return to work after discharge. Most ICU survivors suffer from post-ICU accelerated neurocognitive decline, prolonged neuromuscular weakness, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and/or anxiety. The recovery process and long-term outcomes for critically ill patients may be poor, and they can be improved by appropriate interventions, continual support and tracking of patients post-ICU as they recover, as opposed to being discharged to a single general practitioner who may not have the resources to provide adequate rehabilitation. Although this method has been previously seen as cost-effective, this approach actually carries huge costs for the community of the individuals as they often cannot return to work and have ultimately lost independence. By assessing risk factors and measuring long-term outcomes of patient's post-ICU, the severity of the community burden could be decreased with the application of suitable interventions.

The PREDICT study follows on from the successful completion of the ICU-Recovery Project (HREC Reference Alfred Health 180/14) which found that disability was prevalent in ICU and was associated with sepsis and pre-existing mental health problems. The PREDICT study will measure disability-free survival, psychological function, cognitive function and quality of life with health economic outcomes in critically ill patients 3 and 6 months after ICU admission. The study will confirm the predictors of disability-free survival.

These patients add to the community burden and also influence community and rehabilitation costs. Our aim is to improve long-term patient outcomes through: improving sedation practices, delirium prevention, neurocognitive stimulation, early mobilisation, post-ICU follow-up, and functional and psychological rehabilitation. This study is required for the evaluation of hospital and post-ICU rehabilitation practice as there is insufficient evidence to alter current clinical practice.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Illness and Mechanical Ventilation Complication, run by Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre at 1 site in Australia.

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 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 15 Sep 2023. 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 Australia. 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?

Development of a risk-prediction model for disability-free survival in high risk patients (after > 24 hours of mechanical ventilation) (time frame: 3-6 months post ICU admission). 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 NCT03226912, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 15 Sep 2023.
