About this study

Official title: Observational Retrospective Analysis Assessing the Influence of Three-Chamber Bags Compared to Hospital Compounded Parenteral Nutrition Bags on Blood Stream Infections

The primary study objective is to assess the rates of blood stream infection (BSI) from the use of Three-Chamber Bags (e.g., SmofKabiven®, Kabiven®, others) compared to Hospital Compounded Bags (HCBs) in patients requiring parenteral nutrition in Spanish hospitals.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective observational database study of patients receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) for at least 3 consecutive days with hospital admission date between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2015 (study period).

The study will use an as treated approach, where patients will be followed from the index date (hospital admission day of the hospitalization during which PN is administered) up to patient discharge or death (observation period).

The study will be conducted using an initial EMR (Electronic Medical Record) data retrieval process, followed by manual data retrieval (chart review) that will complement data obtained from EMR. Data collection for manual data retrieval will be conducted through an eCRF.

The documentation of patient data will comprise two sequential steps. The initial step will include data of 30% of patients and then an interim analysis (IA) will be conducted. If IA shows positive results, data for the remaining 70% of patients (step II) will be gathered.

The study will be conducted in 10-14 sites in Spain.

Data analysis: Baseline demographics, co-morbidities, and hospitalization characteristics will be reported descriptively by means of mean with standard deviations and medians with ranges for continuous variables and by counts and percentages for categorical variables. Incidence rates for BSI will be reported by treatment group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients Presenting With a Confirmed Microbial Blood Stream Infection During Treatment With PN for Each Group (3CB vs HCB)

    Confirmation of BSI required fulfillment of all of the following criteria:

    • International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code for sepsis (038.x), septicemia (995.91), severe sepsis (995.92), septic shock (785.52), bacteremia (790.7), unspecified infection due to central venous catheter (999.31), or BSI due to central venous catheter (999.32)
    • Positive blood culture collected during PN administration
    • Concomitant antimicrobial therapy

    Measured: Entire study period, from January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Sepsis During PN

    Percentage of patients presenting at least one episode of Sepsis during treatment with PN for each group (3CB vs HCB)

    Measured: From date of admission to date of discharge

  2. Treatment With Antimicrobials During PN

    Percentage of patients receiving antimicrobial agents during treatment with PN for each group (3CB vs HCB)

    Measured: Any day during PN treatment

  3. Use of Vasopressor Treatment

    Percentages of patients requiring vasopressor support during PN treatment

    Measured: Patients requiring vasopressor support at any time during treatment with PN

  4. Use of Mechanical Ventilation

    Percentage of patients requiring mechanical ventilation during PN treatment for each group (3CB vs HCB)

    Measured: Patients requiring mechanical ventilation at any time during PN treatment

  5. Renal Replacement Therapy

    Percentage of patients requiring Renal Replacement Therapy during PN treatment for each group (3CB vs HCB)

    Measured: Patients requiring renal replacement therapy for at least one day during PN treatment

  6. Newly-occurred Abnormal Laboratory Findings During PN

    Percentage of patients presenting newly-occurred abnormal laboratory results during PN for each group (3CB vs HCB)

    Measured: During PN treatment inclusive day 1

  7. Organ Failure

    Percentage of patients presenting at least one organ failure during treatment with PN for each group (3CB vs HCB)

    Measured: Any time during PN treatment

  8. Hospital Length of Stay (LOS)

    Hospital length of stay in days for patients for each group (3CB vs HCB)

    Measured: Duration in days from admission to death or discharge for each treatment arm

  9. Length of Stay in the ICU

    Total number of days in the ICU for each group (3CB vs HCB)

    Measured: All patients admitted in the ICU at any time during PN treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parenteral Nutrition and Blood Stream Infection, run by Fresenius Kabi at 2 sites in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Spain. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jan 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Patients Presenting With a Confirmed Microbial Blood Stream Infection During Treatment With PN for Each Group (3CB vs HCB) (time frame: Entire study period, from January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015). 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 Jan 2021.
