Trial summary

The peripheral artery disease (PAD) prevalence is high in the elderly, the diabetic patients, and the patients receiving hemodialysis. To date, there is no guideline recommendation on the screening of PAD in patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) for sepsis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevalence and Outcomes of Peripheral Artery Disease in Sepsis Patients in the Medical Intensive Care Unit

The peripheral artery disease (PAD) prevalence is high in the elderly, the diabetic patients, and the patients receiving hemodialysis. To date, there is no guideline recommendation on the screening of PAD in patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) for sepsis.

We conducted a prospective cohort study focusing on patients admitted to the MICU with the main diagnosis of sepsis. The ankle-brachial indexes are performed within 24 hours after admission. Invasive arterial line monitoring and standard non-invasive measurements are collected. After confirmation of PAD, standard anti-platelet treatments (aspirin and cilostazol) are initiated. The survival before and after the conduction of this trial is compared to historical records. The outcomes including all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, minor amputation, major amputation, and prolonged ventilator dependent are to be collected.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study focusing on peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients admitting to intensive care units with a diagnosis of sepsis. The sepsis is defined by the quick SOFA score. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality. The secondary outcomes included stroke, myocardial infarction, amputation, and prolonged mechanical ventilation.

We plan to enroll 150 patients. Patients will be grouped into patients with PAD and patients without PAD. We then compare them in the following parameters: clinical data, laboratory data, survival and other outcome data. Two-sample student's t-tests will be used for the comparisons of continuous variables. Chi-square test will be used to detect the difference between categorical variables. The difference is considered statistically significant if P < 0.05. All statistics works were analyzed using the SPSS 17.0 software (Chicago, IL, USA), R software (Gimc packages).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Artery Disease and Peripheral Artery Occlusion, run by National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch at 1 site in Taiwan.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2017. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mu-Yang Hsieh, MD (886-972654046, drake1128@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

All-cause mortality at 30-day (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 NCT03372330, 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 13 Dec 2017.
