About this study

Official title: Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) as Predictors of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Cirrhotic Patients

The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical utility of mean platelet volume (MPV) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as diagnostic markers for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP).

Being tested
Measurement of mean platelet volume (MPV) and blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR)
Keywords
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, Mean platelet volume, Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio

What participants receive

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

  • Measurement of mean platelet volume (MPV) and blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR)Diagnostic test

    MPV and NLR are easily accessible and inexpensive tests

Study groups in NCT04775420
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1Ascetic patients without spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Measurement of mean platelet volume (MPV) and blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR)
Group 2Ascetic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Measurement of mean platelet volume (MPV) and blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR)

What is being measured

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

  1. The utility of MPV as non-invasive predictor of SBP

    It will be measured from CBC

    Measured: 1 year

  2. The utility of NLR as non-invasive predictor of SBP

    It will be measured from CBC

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 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 23 Jan 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 Egypt. 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?

The utility of MPV as non-invasive predictor of SBP (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 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 23 Jan 2023.
