About this study

Official title: Compression Wraps as Adjuvant Therapy in the Management of Acute Systolic Heart Failure (CATAS-HF)

There will be two populations in this study: control group, and intervention group. These groups will undergo propensity matching to account for confounders and minimize selection bias. 120 patients will be enrolled, 60 to each population. The objective of this study is: assess the utility of lower extremity compression wraps as adjuvant therapy in inpatient management of acute systolic heart failure

The control group will consist of patients admitted to I5 Cardiology for management of acute systolic heart failure with intravenous diuresis and standard medical therapy, meeting inclusion criteria. Information will be gathered through observational prospective data analysis from Epic EMR, and will include daily diuretic type and dose required, daily urine output, daily creatinine, total days of admission, daily and pre-discharge weight, admission BNP, and pre-discharge BNP.

The intervention group will consist of patients admitted to I5 Cardiology meeting inclusion criteria and being managed with standard medical therapy. This group will receive additional therapy using bilateral lower extremity compression wraps applied by nursing staff per pre-set protocol, and will receive education on the use of compression wraps. Patients will be instructed to wear the compression wraps for the entirety of the time they are undergoing intravenous diuresis, with pauses in care as needed for hygiene and symptom relief purposes. During the time of compression wrap application, the following data will be collected: urine output, daily weights, daily creatinine, daily and total dose and type of intravenous diuretic used. Prior to discharge, a BNP will be obtained.

Endpoints (including percentage of weight reduction, total urine output achieved with diuresis, total dose requirement and type of intravenous diuresis, total days of intravenous diuresis, days to discharge, discharge BNP, and percent reduction from admission BNP) will then be compared to assess the utility of adding lower extremity compression wraps to inpatient management of acute systolic heart failure.

Read the detailed description

There will be two populations in this study: control group, and intervention group. 120 patients will be enrolled, 60 to group, randomized in 1:1 fashion. The control group will consist of patients admitted to I5 Cardiology for management of acute systolic heart failure with intravenous diuresis and standard medical therapy, meeting inclusion criteria. Information will be gathered through observational prospective data analysis from Epic EMR, and will include daily diuretic type and dose required, daily urine output, daily creatinine, total days of admission, daily and pre-discharge weight, admission BNP, and pre-discharge BNP. The intervention group will consist of patients admitted to I5 Cardiology meeting inclusion criteria and being managed with standard medical therapy. This group will receive additional therapy using bilateral lower extremity compression wraps applied by nursing staff per pre-set protocol, and will receive education on the use of compression wraps. Patients will be instructed to wear the compression wraps for the entirety of the time they are undergoing intravenous diuresis, with pauses in care as needed for hygiene and symptom relief purposes. During the time of compression wrap application, the following data will be collected: urine output, daily weights, daily creatinine, daily and total dose and type of intravenous diuretic used. Prior to discharge, a BNP will be obtained. Endpoints (including percentage of weight reduction, total urine output achieved with diuresis, total dose requirement and type of intravenous diuresis, total days of intravenous diuresis, days to discharge, discharge BNP, and percent reduction from admission BNP) will then be compared to assess the utility of adding lower extremity compression wraps to inpatient management of acute systolic heart failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Readmission Within 30-days

    Assess rate of 30-day readmission of patients enrolled in study

    Measured: 30 days from hospital discharge

  2. Total Length of Hospital Stay

    Assess the length of hospitalization, controlling for variables

    Measured: From admission to hospital discharge, up to 30 days

  3. Days on IV Diuretic Therapy

    Assess the number of days from start of IV diuresis to transition to PO diuresis

    Measured: From admission to hospital discharge, up to 30 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Average Percentage of BNP Change

    Assess the average percent of BNP reduction of intervention vs control groups

    Measured: From admission to hospital discharge, up to 30 days

  2. Average Pre-discharge BNP

    Assess the average pre-discharge BNP of intervention vs control groups

    Measured: From admission to hospital discharge, up to 30 days

  3. Net Intake/Output of Fluids During Hospitalization

    Assess the net intake/output across the hospitalization of intervention vs control groups, obtained through nursing documentation of fluid intake and output recorded daily during the hospitalization

    Measured: From admission to hospital discharge, up to 30 days

  4. IV Diuretic Infusion Used

    Assess the use of IV diuretic in intervention vs control groups

    Measured: From admission to hospital discharge, up to 30 days

  5. Average Percentage of Weight Change During Hospitalization

    Assess the average percent of weight reduction of intervention vs control groups

    Measured: From admission to hospital discharge, up to 30 days

  6. AKI During Hospitalization

    Development of acute kidney injury during hospitalization

    Measured: From admission to hospital discharge, up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ACE compression wrap in people with Heart Failure; With Decompensation, run by Henry Ford Health System at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2022. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Feb 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Readmission Within 30-days (time frame: 30 days from hospital discharge). The study lists 3 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 Mar 2022.
