About this study

Official title: Integrated Care of Co-morbidities vs Standard Care After Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure in the Intensive Care Unit: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The study will assess the potential benefit of implementing a complex bundle of interventions to treat important - often unrecognized - comorbidities in patients surviving an episode of Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure (AHRF). This study will also provide a comparative analysis of the costs and health consequences of two alternative strategies to inform decision making about healthcare. All interventions are individually evidence-based and seem sound to hypothesize that implementing such interventions might improve patient's outcome and reduce the financial burder of repeated hospitalization in AHRF survivors.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hospital readmission

    Hospital or ICU readmission

    Measured: 1-year observation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Health Related Quality of Life

    Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (0 to 21 points with 21 indicating higher levels of anxiety and depression) Saint George Questionnaire (0-100 with 100 indicating more limitations) Impact of dyspea on daily activities measured by mMRC (0 to IV with IV indication more impact of dyspnea)

    Measured: Measured at regular 3, 6 and 12 months visits following patient's hospital discharge

  2. Cost-effectiveness

    Costs related to unplanned emergency visits and hospital length of stay following readmission

    Measured: 1-year observation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bundle of comorbidities care in people with Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure, run by CTU at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 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 12 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Switzerland, 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 was stopped early (reason given: delayed recruitment and lack of refinancing). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Hospital readmission (time frame: 1-year observation). 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 12 May 2023.
