About this study

The investigators are doing this research to find out if more careful assessment and elimination of potential risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) during the subject's perioperative period will reduce their chance of kidney damage and kidney damage related problems.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether preventive measures for patients undergoing ventricular assist device (VAD) placement will reduce AKI occurrence, progression and associated complications.

Participants will be in the study for a total of 6 days (1 day prior to the surgery and 5 days after the surgery). The investigators will review the participant's medical record up to one year after surgery.

The study investigators will access the participant's electronic medical record 24 hours prior to the planned VAD implantation and review the participant's medication regimen and provide recommendations to the participant's primary care physician in an effort to minimize potential risks for AKI. There will be no intervention during the operation.

The clinical recommendations will cover the following:

  1. Avoidance of potentially nephrotoxic agents.
  2. Optimizing volume status (avoidance of volume overload or depletion)
  3. Optimizing electrolytes and acid-base status
  4. Minimizing IV contrast exposure when appropriate
  5. Treating severe anemia
  6. Optimization of hemodynamics (Mean arterial BP>65mmHg).

The investigators plan to compare the results of this study with the historical data in the same patient population in the years of 7/1/2015-6/30/2017.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of postoperative AKI (within 5 post-op days) based on AKIN criteria

    The Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) staging system has 3 stages: 1) serum creatinine increase ≥ 26.5 umol/L or increase to 1.5-2.0 fold from baseline, OR urine output <0.5 ml/kg/h for 6 h; 2) serum creatinine increase > 2.0-3.0 fold from baseline OR urine output <0.5 ml/kg/h for 12 h; 3) serum creatinine increase >3.0 fold from baseline OR serum creatinine ≥354 umol/l with an acute increase of at least 44 umol/l or need for Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) OR urine output <0.3 ml/kg/h for 24 h OR anuria for 12 OR need for RRT

    Measured: 5 days after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Severity of postoperative AKI (within 5 post-op days) based on AKIN criteria

    The AKIN staging system has 3 stages: 1) serum creatinine increase ≥ 26.5 umol/L or increase to 1.5-2.0 fold from baseline, OR urine output <0.5 ml/kg/h for 6 h; 2) serum creatinine increase > 2.0-3.0 fold from baseline OR urine output <0.5 ml/kg/h for 12 h; 3) serum creatinine increase >3.0 fold from baseline OR serum creatinine ≥354 umol/l with an acute increase of at least 44 umol/l or need for Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) OR urine output <0.3 ml/kg/h for 24 h OR anuria for 12 OR need for RRT

    Measured: 5 days after the surgery

  2. Length of hospital stay

    The length of hospital stay will be determined from the electronic medical record.

    Measured: 1 year after the surgery

  3. In hospital (perioperative) mortality and one-year mortality

    The number of subjects who died in hospital (perioperatively) and one year after surgery

    Measured: Approximately 5 days after surgery, one year after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clinical Recommendations in people with Kidney Injury, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 10 Oct 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 United States. 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?

Rate of postoperative AKI (within 5 post-op days) based on AKIN criteria (time frame: 5 days after the surgery). 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 10 Oct 2019.
