About this study
This prospective observational cohort study will investigate the impact of a bundle of nine preventive measures (Assessment, prevention and management of pain; spontaneous awaking trial; spontaneous breathing trial; choice of sedation and analgesia; delirium assessment, prevention and management; early mobility; family communication and ICU Diary) on the incidence and severity of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective observational cohort study. It will include all adult patients, admitted to a surgical ICU (13 beds) and a medical ICU (10 beds), with a length of ICU stay of at least 2 day, from January 01 to December 31 2018. Patients with severe cognitive deficits prior to admission, identified by clinical history obtained by the psychology or through the Mental State Mini Exam (MMSE), traumatic brain injury and stroke patients with Glasgow coma scale <14, will be excluded. On admission to the ICU, risk factors for PICS will be identified.
During ICU stay, the patients will be submitted to nine interventions aiming at the prevention of PICS: Assessment, prevention and management of pain; spontaneous awaking trial; spontaneous breathing trial; choice of sedation and analgesia; delirium assessment, prevention and management; early mobility; family communication and ICU Diary. At ICU discharge, the physical, psychiatric and cognitive components of PICS will be evaluated using the following tools: FSS-ICU, dynamometry and nutritional indicators (physical component), HADS (Anxiety and Depression), MOCA (cognitive dysfunction) and PCL -C (posttraumatic stress disorder). The duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of sedation, ICU LOS and hospital mortality will also be evaluated. Reassessments will be done 5 days after discharge from the ICU or at hospital discharge (what happens first) and 3 months after the randomization at the follow-up clinic. Patients identified with PICS at discharge from the ICU will be compared with those who did not develop the syndrome. The investigators will specifically evaluate the percentage of adherence to preventive measures, the presence of risk factors and clinical outcomes.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of PICS, run by Hospital Sao Domingos at 1 site in Brazil.
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 3 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 2 Jul 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 Brazil. 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 Cognitive function (time frame: Change from baseline at the time of discharge from the ICU, 5 days after discharge from the ICU or at the time of hospital discharge (whichever occurs first) and after 3 months of randomization at the follow-up clinic). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03398707, which also lists 7 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 2 Jul 2019.
