Critical Lower Limb IschemiaNCT04756115
Impact of Nutritional and Inflammatory Status in Patients With Critical Limb-threatening Ischemia
An observational study of Critical Lower Limb Ischemia and Postoperative Complications, run by Vascular Investigation Network Spanish Society for Angiology and Vascular Surgery at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
The peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Despite minimally invasive endovascular techniques, patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) have a poor prognosis with a high mortality that is comparable that of cancer.

About this study
Official title: Impact of Nutritional and Inflammatory Status in Patients With Critical Limb-threatening Ischemia: a Retrospective Cohort Stud
The peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Despite minimally invasive endovascular techniques, patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) have a poor prognosis with a high mortality that is comparable that of cancer.
The inflammatory activity has a crucial role for the development and prognosis of atherosclerosis. Recently, different inflammatory biomarkers such as the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) have been associated with severity and prognosis in patients with PAD.
Read more
Additionally, patients with CLTI present several independent risk factors for malnutrition. For this reason, malnutrition represents an independent risk factor for mortality and post-operative complications. In this context, the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) associates the nutritional and inflammatory status of patients.
This study shows the clinical applicability of the different pre-operative nutritional and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with CLTI. This study does not collect any patient identifiable information.
Read the detailed description
In order to show the relevance of patient's inflammatory status regarding the prognosis of PAD, this study establishes the correlation between pre-operative pro-inflammatory biomarkers represented by NLR, LMR and PLR with short-term mortality and major amputations at 6-months. Likewise, the association between the pre-operative PNI with short-term mortality and major amputation at 6-months revealing the impact of nutritional status.
- Data Collection: Demographic and clinical data. The initial surgical technique. The peri-operative outcomes Mortality and major amputation. The hemogram and biochemistry analysis were recorded preoperatively, at 48-hours after admission The inflammatory state was measured by the ratios of neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), lymphocyte/monocyte (LMR) and platelet/lymphocyte (PLR).
The nutritional status was estimated by the PNI = (serum albumin g/dL x 10) + (lymphocytes/μL + 0.005).
- Statistical Analysis: significant values p<0.05. Descriptive analysis was presented as mean values and respective standard deviations.
The chi-squared test and Student t-test were used for variables that followed a normal distribution.
A non-parametric test was performed for the rest of variables (Mann-Whitney U). Spearman and Pearson correlations coefficients were calculated to determine the association between biomarkers and the hospital length-of-stay.
For the multivariate analysis a logistic regression was performed. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was applied to establish a cut-off point with the corresponding area under the curve (AUC), 95% confidence interval (95%CI), sensitivity (S) and specificity (E) for short-term mortality and major amputation at six months.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Despite minimally invasive endovascular techniques, patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) have a poor prognosis with a high mortality that is comparable that of cancer.
The inflammatory activity has a crucial role for the development and prognosis of atherosclerosis. Recently, different inflammatory biomarkers such as the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) have been associated with severity and prognosis in patients with PAD.
Additionally, patients with CLTI present several independent risk factors for malnutrition. For this reason, malnutrition represents an independent risk factor for mortality and post-operative complications. In this context, the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) associates the nutritional and inflammatory status of patients.
This study shows the clinical applicability of the different pre-operative nutritional and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with CLTI. This study does not collect any patient identifiable information.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Critical Lower Limb Ischemia and Postoperative Complications, run by Vascular Investigation Network Spanish Society for Angiology and Vascular Surgery at 1 site in Spain.
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 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 16 Feb 2021. 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 Spain. 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?
6-month mortality (time frame: 6-month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04756115, which also lists 32 linked publications.
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 16 Feb 2021.
