Trial summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients. Based on the sensitive KDIGO criteria, the incidence of AKI on ICU varies between 30-60 %. These large variations of incidence of AKI are due to different baseline characteristics of studied patients, the length of observation period, use… Read more about this study

About this study

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients. Based on the sensitive KDIGO criteria, the incidence of AKI on ICU varies between 30-60 %. These large variations of incidence of AKI are due to different baseline characteristics of studied patients, the length of observation period, use of creatinine criteria only or use of creatinine and urine output criteria. Furthermore, back estimation of baseline creatinine instead of measured creatinine in patients with missing laboratory values may lead to overestimation of AKI severity and outcomes. Major surgery, trauma, infection, sepsis or a complication of severe illness can lead to an abrupt decrease in glomerular filtration in critically ill patients. Such episode of AKI is associated with short term adverse effects such as fluid overload, electrolyte imbalance, acid-base derangements, immune dysfunction, coagulation abnormalities and alterations in mental status. Additionally, AKI in critically ill patients leads to prolonged ICU length of stay, increase in morbidity and mortality as well as higher costs. Multiple large studies found, after correction for potential confounders, that AKI was independently associated with worse outcomes. Moderate and severe AKI stages were associated with 2.9 - 6.9 fold increased in-hospital mortality (3). Increasing AKI severity in ICU patients was not only associated with increased mortality, AKI patients had also worse renal function at the time of hospital discharge. The individual condition leading to AKI in combination with increased susceptibility to AKI may significantly influence outcome. Indeed, current data from many studies show that mortality from AKI differs in various clinical settings.

However, there are not enough data on different types of surgery and their effect on AKI yet. The aim of our epidemiological study is to investigate the occurrence and outcomes of AKI in different types of surgery in postoperative ICU patients at the Vienna General Hospital.

What is being measured

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

  1. 28 day mortality

    primary outcome is the 28-day mortality in different stages of AKI according to KDIGO criteria in patients admitted in the ICU after surgery.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. ICU length of stay

    secondary outcomes are length of stay in the ICU, receipt and duration of mechanical ventilation, receipt and duration of renal replacement therapy and 1- year all-cause mortality

    Measured: 1 year

  2. receipt and duration of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: 1 year

  3. receipt and duration of renal replacement therapy

    Measured: 1 year

  4. 1-year all cause mortality

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury and ICU, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 30 Nov 2021. 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 Austria. 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?

28 day mortality (time frame: 28 days). 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 30 Nov 2021.
