Trial summary

This study was performed to determine the prognosis of patients after cardiac arrest using serum markers called NGAL. The initial NGAL values of patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome are checked by blood tests, and the long-term neurological prognosis and survival rate are collected after 6 months.

About this study

Official title: Predicting Long-term Outcomes After Cardiac Arrest by Using Serum NGAL: A Prospective, Observational Study

This study was performed to determine the prognosis of patients after cardiac arrest using serum markers called NGAL. The initial NGAL values of patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome are checked by blood tests, and the long-term neurological prognosis and survival rate are collected after 6 months.

Read the detailed description

Serum NGAL is currently being used as a test to determine the likelihood of developing renal failure. However, in a previous study, serum NGAL correlated with neurological prognosis in post cardiac arrest syndrome patients. This prospective study attempts to see the role of serum NGAL as a prognostic factor by including a sufficient number of patients.

What participants receive

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

  • serum NGALDiagnostic test

    serum NGAL was measured at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours after recovery of spontaneous circulation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Long term neurologic outcome

    Patients' CPC score after 6 months (good outcome : CPC score 1, 2 / poor outcome : CPC score 3, 4, 5)

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Proportion of participants with Overall Survival at 6 months

    6-month survival rate of patients'

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest, run by Uijeongbu St. Mary Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2024. 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 South Korea. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Recruiting unavailable). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Long term neurologic outcome (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03615300, which also lists 2 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 13 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
