Trial summary

Background: Acute mesenteric ischemia is a vascular emergency with high mortality because of ambiguous symptomatology and a lack of early diagnostic markers. Lactate dehydrogenase has been described as a mortality biomarker and bowel necrosis length too. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Seventy-four cases were identified that met the study's criteria. The patients' average age was 73.5 (SD, 10.7) years, and 44 (60%) were men. The mean body mass index was 25 (SD, 2.9) kg/m2. Fifteen (20%) of the patients presented non-occlusive acute mesenteric ischemia.

Who may be able to join

  • Older than 18 years of age
  • Required urgent laparotomy with a postoperative diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia
  • Attended the private academic hospital, between 2012 and 2018
  • Had a registered serum lactate dehydrogenase at admission

Who cannot join

  • Secondary causes of AMI
  • Chronic intestinal ischemic
  • Patient records with no description of the serum lactate dehydrogenase or extension of intestinal necrosis

About this study

Official title: Lactate Dehydrogenase, Bowel Necrosis and Mortality in Acute Mesenteric Ischemia: Retrospective Cross-Sectional

Background: Acute mesenteric ischemia is a vascular emergency with high mortality because of ambiguous symptomatology and a lack of early diagnostic markers. Lactate dehydrogenase has been described as a mortality biomarker and bowel necrosis length too. Nevertheless, the association between them has been mildly studied. Our objective was to evaluate the association between serum lactate admission levels, bowel necrosis extension, and mortality. Additionally, we performed a mortality characterization.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was designed. We reviewed patients' clinical records with acute mesenteric ischemia that attended a hospital between 2012 and 2018. We compared serum lactate admission levels with bowel necrosis length and mortality. A receiver operating characteristic curve was performed on the last association. As post hoc analysis, a classification and regression tree on mortality was fitted.

What participants receive

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

  • Lactate DehydrogenaseDiagnostic test

    All the patients that arrived at the hospital with symptoms of mesenteric ischemia, had a registered lactate dehydrogenase. We compared the value with the patient's outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum Lactate in mmol/l

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Bowel necrosis length in cm

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Percentage of patients that died between 30 postsurgical days, %

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cut value of lactate levels as a predictor of mortality, in mmol/l

    A receiver operating characteristics curve

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mesenteric Ischemia, run by Universidad del Rosario at 1 site in Colombia.

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 4 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 17 Dec 2020. 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 Colombia. 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?

Serum Lactate in mmol/l (time frame: 30 days). 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 17 Dec 2020.
