About this study

The aim of the study is the characterization of parameters from medical history, physical examination and diagnostics, which correlate with and could be used to predict diuretic efficacy.

Read the detailed description

This prospective observational study is conducted to identify and further isolate possible predictors for the efficacy of diuretics and to identify potential new predictors.

The study also observes if specific diuretic regimes (e.g. combination of loop diuretics and distal effective diuretics for sequential nephron blockade) have a greater diuretic effect. This is not yet proved.

The data of the study shall to help to determine criteria, allowing to choose an effective diuretic regime in different patient cohorts already at the beginning of therapy and to identify patients at high risk.

What is being measured

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

  1. Multivariable regression analysis at 6±1 hours

    Multivariable regression analysis at 6±1 hours from timepoint of first diuretic administration in the emergency department.

    Independent variables: diuretic dose, clinical characteristics, serum creatinine, serum urea, urine sodium, urine conductivity and others. The dependent variable will be urine volume 6±1h after diuretic therapy or the difference in weight before diuretic administration and 6±1 hours afterwards.

    Measured: 6±1 hours from timepoint of first diuretic administration in the emergency department

  2. Multivariable regression analysis 24 hours time course

    Multivariable regression analysis over 24 hours time course from timepoint of first diuretic administration in the emergency department.

    Independent variables: diuretic dose, clinical characteristics, serum creatinine, serum urea, urine sodium, urine conductivity and others. The dependent variable will be urine volume at different timepoints (e.g. 6h, 18h, 24h) within a maximum of 24 hours after first diuretic administration

    Measured: 24 hours time course from timepoint of first diuretic administration in the emergency departmentnistration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Edema, run by University of Cologne at 1 site in Germany.

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 29 Nov 2023. 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 Germany. 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?

Multivariable regression analysis at 6±1 hours (time frame: 6±1 hours from timepoint of first diuretic administration in the emergency department). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Nov 2023.
