Trial summary

A systolic blood pressure (SBP) lower than the heart rate (HR) could indicate a poor condition in trauma patients. In such scenarios, the reversed shock index (RSI) is <1, as calculated by the SBP divided by the HR. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult patients having isolated TBI with a head abbreviated injury scale (AIS) ≥ 3 and without severe injury to other regions (other AIS ≤ 1) were included. We excluded patients younger than 18 or older than 65 years of age. Patients were grouped and analyzed according to RSI (< 1 or ≥ 1).

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients having isolated TBI with a head abbreviated injury scale (AIS) ≥ 3 and without severe injury to other regions (other AIS ≤ 1) were included

Who cannot join

  • Patients with incomplete registered data were also excluded

About this study

A systolic blood pressure (SBP) lower than the heart rate (HR) could indicate a poor condition in trauma patients. In such scenarios, the reversed shock index (RSI) is <1, as calculated by the SBP divided by the HR. This study aimed to clarify whether RSI could be used to identify high-risk adult patients with isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Being tested
reversed shock index < 1, reversed shock index ≥ 1
Keywords
systolic blood pressure, reversed shock index, traumatic brain injury, mortality
Medical subject headings
Brain Injuries, Traumatic

What participants receive

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

  • reversed shock index < 1Other

    Among patients with isolated TBI, those with an RSI < 1 had higher mortality

  • reversed shock index ≥ 1Other

    Among patients with isolated TBI, those with an RSI ≥ 1 had lower mortality

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Traumatic Brain Injury, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 5 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

in-hospital mortality (time frame: up to 5 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 5 Oct 2018.
