About this study

Official title: Establishing Malnutrition Diagnosis System by Using Artificial-intelligence Technology to Improve the Application of Clinical Pathway

The prevalence of malnutrition is estimated at 30-50% of hospitalized patients in China. Disease-related malnutrition increases the risk of infection, mortality, length of hospitalization as well as the economic burden. National Nutrition Plan proposed to reduce malnutrition, but a clear, effective roadmap and protocol has not existed yet. Several factors impede to resolve the above challenges. They include :1) the low efficiency of current malnutrition diagnosis methods; 2) the lack of dynamic, standard method that can evaluate nutritional status in quantitative way. To this end, the investigators aim to establish an artificial-intelligence malnutrition diagnosis system to improve the application of malnutrition Clinical Pathway. Firstly, the investigators will establish a multidimensional malnutrition large data set, based on our previously built national hospital nutrition screening data set.

It will contain deep 3D facial images, semi-structured and structured electronic medical record. Then, the investigators will use ensemble learning algorithm to establish a fully automatic, artificial-intelligence malnutrition diagnosis model that includes both etiological and phenotypic diagnosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. malnutrition diagnosis

    Using Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition(GLIM) to diagnose malnutrition among hospitalized patients

    Measured: Within 48 hours of admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disease-related Malnutrition, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 29 Mar 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 China. 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?

malnutrition diagnosis (time frame: Within 48 hours of admission). 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 NCT04776070, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Mar 2023.
