Trial summary

Reactive or secondary thrombocytosis is defined as abnormally high platelet count (≥4,50,000 platelets per micro-liter) in the absence of chronic myeloproliferative disease. In critically ill patients reactive thrombocytosis is not uncommon during recovery phase and an association has been seen with poor outcome and… Read more about this study

About this study

Reactive or secondary thrombocytosis is defined as abnormally high platelet count (≥4,50,000 platelets per micro-liter) in the absence of chronic myeloproliferative disease. In critically ill patients reactive thrombocytosis is not uncommon during recovery phase and an association has been seen with poor outcome and increased risk of subsequent VTE. However, not all patients with infection respond with thrombocytosis. No study has enumerated the risk factors or predictors of reactive thrombocytosis in critically ill septic patients.

Read the detailed description

All patients admitted to intensive care unit of the department of Critical Care Medicine during one year period will be screened for possible inclusion in this study. In this prospective observational study, demographic and clinical characteristics of all ICU patients who fulfill inclusion criteria will be collected along with relevant laboratory tests done for patient management routinely. ICU prognostication scores, i.e., Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score will also be recorded. ICU survivors will be followed up in their routine ICU follow up clinic visits.

Sample size was estimated at 10% incidence rate of reactive thrombocytes, two sided 95% confidence interval and 4.5% margin of error of the incidence rate, sample size came out to be 171. Finally in this study investigators have targeted to include at least 180 participants. Sample size was estimated using software power analysis and sample size, 2008 (PASS-8).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Thrombocytosis, run by Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences at 1 site in India.

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 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2018. 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 India. 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 Mohan Gurjar, MD, PDCC (915222495403, m.gurjar@rediffmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reactive or secondary thrombocytosis in critically ill septic patients (time frame: From date of inclusion until the date of thrombocytosis or date of ICU discharge (death or alive), whichever came first, assessed up to 3 months). 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 21 May 2018.
