About this study

Official title: The Influencing Factors of Vancomycin Trough Level and the Rate Achieving the Target Trough Level in Critically Ill Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study

The aim of this study was to assess factors that may influence vancomycin trough level and the rate achieving the target trough level in critically ill patients.

Read the detailed description

This retrospective observational study included adult patients treated with intravenous vancomycin in intensive care unit of Zhongda Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017. Vancomycin dose was based on international consensus and adjusted according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation. vancomycin trough level (VTL) was retained at steady state (after the third dose). Linear regression was performed to determine the correlation between factors prior to the first vancomycin dose and VTL. Distribution of VTL and percentage of patients achieving the target trough level (15-20mg/L) was observed in different renal function.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of patients achieving the target vancomycin trough(15-20mg/L)

    Vancomycin trough level was retained at steady state (after the third dose). If a patient has multiple measurements of vancomycin trough level, the first measurement is collected.Rate of patients achieving the target trough level (15-20mg/L) was observed.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vancomycin, run by Southeast University, China.

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 5 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 16 Jan 2019. 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?

Rate of patients achieving the target vancomycin trough(15-20mg/L) (time frame: 3 years). 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 16 Jan 2019.
