About this study

Official title: Prospective Representative National Survey of Body Mass Index in People With Spinal Cord Injury.

This study is a prospective national survey of body mass index, and includes all patients with a new spinal cord injury hospitalized at Clinic for Spinal Cord Injuries, Rigshospitalet and Spinal Cord Injury Center of Western Denmark during a period of 9 months. Informed consent is retrieved from all participants.

Read the detailed description

The current study is a sub- study in a Ph.D project containing 4 sub- studies. The protocol for the current study includes all four sub- studies, and each of the other three sub- studies will be registered ongoing individually. The current study is a prospective national survey of body mass index (BMI), and includes all patients with a new spinal cord injury hospitalized at Clinic for Spinal Cord Injuries, Rigshospitalet (CSCI) and Spinal Cord Injury Center of Western Denmark during a period of 9 months whereby 100 patients are expected to participate. Data are collected at admission and discharge. At CSCI BMI is collected every 6 weeks and all outcome measures will also be collected at follow up 6 months after discharge. A VO2peak test at discharge is performed as well, and in some participants accelerometry is performed in order to describe the amount and intensity of physical activity. Test- retest reliability of the VO2peak test and accelerometry is investigated as well. Patients with a new Spinal Cord Injury within the last 12 months, who are admitted for rehabilitation several months after the time of injury are also included in the prospective survey. Therefore the data for BMI at the time of injury is collected for all patients at admission to primary rehabilitation from both the patient journal and also by asking the patient about weight and height at the time of injury

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Body Mass Index

    Defined as a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of the person's height in metres (kg/m2

    Measured: Change from baseline to follow-up 6 months after discharge from primary rehabilitation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Cord Injuries, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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 4 Oct 2022. 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 Denmark. 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?

Change in Body Mass Index (time frame: Change from baseline to follow-up 6 months after discharge from primary rehabilitation). 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 NCT03369080, 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 4 Oct 2022.
