About this study

Official title: Prospective Epidemiological Study Evaluating the Prevalence of Upper Limb Venous Thrombosis in a Population of Patients Hospitalized in a University Hospital

Venous thrombosis of the upper limb is one of the manifestations of venous thromboembolic disease.

The epidemiology and management of upper limb venous thrombosis is much less well documented than that of lower limb venous thrombosis.

The investigators wished to provide epidemiological data concerning upper limb venous thrombosis in the hospital setting.

The researchers would like to know the prevalence of this pathology among patients hospitalized in a university hospital center. In order to obtain this prevalence, the investigators wish to carry out a monocentric cross-sectional descriptive study.

Venous thrombosis of the upper limb is one of the manifestations of venous thromboembolic disease.

The epidemiology and management of upper limb venous thrombosis is much less well documented than that of lower limb venous thrombosis.

The investigators wished to provide epidemiological data concerning upper limb venous thrombosis in the hospital setting.

The researchers would like to know the prevalence of this pathology among patients hospitalized in a university hospital center. In order to obtain this prevalence, the investigators wish to carry out a monocentric cross-sectional descriptive study.

The main objective of the study is to define the prevalence of upper limb venous thrombosis in patients hospitalized at Nantes University Hospital.

The secondary objectives are to describe the epidemiology according to the patient's hospitalization sector or the endovenous medical devices used. Another secondary objective is to describe the clinical signs associated with thromboses and their characteristics.

The investigators wish to include major patients hospitalized at the Nantes University Hospital in different sectors (medical, surgical, intensive care units). After collecting the patient's non-opposition, reseachers will carry out a venous duplex ultrasonography of the upper limbs.

Data concerning the hospitalization unit, the patient's comorbidities, the presence of venous tracts or other endo-venous devices, clinical signs and duplex ultrasonography data will be collected using a standardized collection grid.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of upper limb venous thrombosis

    Number of upper limb venous thrombosis diagnosed in duplex ultrasonography compared to the number of patients examined.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Epidemiology and description of upper limb venous thrombosis

    Epidemiology of upper limb venous thrombosis according to the patient's hospitalization sector, the patient's history or the medical devices used (pacemaker, peripheral or central venous line, ...). Description of the clinical signs associated with upper limb venous thrombosis. These clinical signs will be correlated with the echodoppler characteristics of the upper limb venous thrombosis.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thrombosis, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 21 Sep 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 France. 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?

Prevalence of upper limb venous thrombosis (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 21 Sep 2023.
