About this study

To identify nutritional and metabolic biomarkers that are related to the prognosis of traumatic brain injury patients, and to develop a prognosis prediction model using biomarkers

Study Objectives:

  1. Establishment of a prospective registry for traumatic brain injury patients
  2. Identification of nutritional and metabolic biomarkers related to prognosis of traumatic brain injury patients
  3. Development of a prognosis prediction model using nutritional and metabolic biomarkers
  4. Development of identification model for high-risk population of disabilities after traumatic brain injury
Read the detailed description

Study design: Multicenter observational cohort study, 5 tertiary teaching hospital emergency departments in Korea

Study period: July 2018 to December 2023 (66 months)

Study population: Traumatic brain injury patients aged over 18.

Cases will be consecutive adult patients with EMS-treated traumatic brain injury and transport to the 5 emergency departments of participating hospitals within 72 hours after the trauma and confirmed cerebral hemorrhage or diffuse axial injury by radiological examination. A prospective traumatic brain injury patient cohort will be developed and all survived traumatic brain injury cases will be followed at 1-month and 6-month after ED discharge by telephone.

During the study period, the investigators aim to recruit a total 1,200 cases (600 cases between July 2018 and June 2020, 600 cases between March 2021 and June 2023).

Data collection: Following data will be collected

Clinical data: Basic demographic and clinical outcomes will be retrieved from medical records.

Survey data: Comorbidity, symptom, result of neurologic examination, socioeconomic status (occupation, income etc) data will be collected.

Blood samples: The investigators aim to develop nutritional and metabolic biomarkers of traumatic brain injury. The investigators also plan to further develop traumatic brain injury biomarkers using proteomics.

Follow-ups: All survived traumatic brain injury cases will be followed-up at 1-month and 6-month after ED discharge and their survival, disability, and quality of life outcomes will be collected by telephone.

Ethics Statements: All 5 hospitals participating in the study were IRB approved(Seoul National University Hospital(IRB No: 1806-078-951), SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center(IRB No: 30-2018-85), Kyungpook National University Hospital(IRB No: 2018-10-014-007), Chonnam National University Hospital(IRB No: CNUH-2018-297), Chungbuk National University Hospital(IRB No: 2018-09-018)). All study patients was registered in cohort after acquisition of consent.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Injuries, Traumatic, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 28 Feb 2025. 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 South Korea. 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?

Survival of traumatic brain injury patient (time frame: 6 months after traumatic brain injury). 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 28 Feb 2025.
