About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of a Prognostic Score in the Very Old ICU Patients (≥80 Years)

The two main aims of the study:

  1. To investigate the relation of Frailty, Activity of daily life (ADL), Cognitive functions and Co-morbidity on survival at 30 days (and 6 months in a substudy)
  2. From the results design a prognostic score that will be validated using a subpopulation of the study cohort

Two secondary aims a

  1. Survival at 6 months (in a subpopulation of the study)
  2. An inter-rater validation of the Clinical Frailty Score (CFS) (in a subpopulation)

Substudies are planned with regards to the different admission categories, in particular:

  • trauma
  • acute respiratory failure
  • sepsis
  • combined respiratory and circulatory failure
  • medical neurological conditions In some of the substudies similar groups from the VIP1 study that uses the same admission categories (except planned admissions) will be merged.
Read the detailed description

Frailty to be registered by the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), 1-9 point Activity of Daily life (ADL) with Katz ADL form: 0-6 points Cognition to be described by Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) questionaire, 16 questions to be asked the care-givers Co-morbidity by listing the major comorbidity with Yes or No (Yes= 1 point) and with the number of regular drugs prescribed

What participants receive

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

  • Cognitive assesment, Frailty assessmentOther

    Asking relatives (using a structured questionaire) about cognitive function at admission , likewise about frailty using the Clinical Frailty Score

What is being measured

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

  1. 30 days survival

    Proportion alive after 30 days

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Developement of a prognostic score

    Developement and subsequent validation of a prognostic score from data revealed in the study: Frailty, Comorbidity, Activity of Daily life and Cognition. This score is non-existent at the moment, it is a score we will develope and test within the cohort-. No further description can be given before study is finished and analysed.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. 6 months survival

    Proportion alive after 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Inter-rater validation of Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS)

    The CFS is a simple visual scale of frailty from 1 to 9 (increasing frailty). We will in a subset of our patients use two raters to perform frailty score and compare their results using inter-rater variability tests.

    Measured: At admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aged, 80 and Over and Critical Care, run by University of Bergen at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 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 28 Apr 2021. 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 Norway. 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?

30 days survival (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT03370692, which also lists 8 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 28 Apr 2021.
