About this study

Official title: Venous Thromboembolism Risk Profiles Among Hospitalized Patients in Chinese General Hospital- a Cross-sectional Single-institution Based Study

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease, mainly manifested by deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). VTE events increase the length of hospitalization and treatment costs and seriously affect the quality of life of patients, so it is increasingly appreciated to identify high-risk patients with VTE and take preventive measures. The Padua prediction score (PPS) and Caprini risk assessment model (RAM) are widely used in clinical practice as common risk assessment scales in medical and surgical departments, respectively. And D-dimer levels have been considered as a well indicator to rule out acute VTE. Previous epidemiological studies on VTE have found the risk of VTE is significantly higher in hospitalized patients than in the general population and the prophylaxis decisions vary among countries, hospitals and departments, indicating current in-hospital VTE prevention strategies are far from optimal and it's imperative to regionalized control of VTE. Therefore, a single-institution-based risk profile study of in-hospital VTE patients is designed to explore current situation of VTE occurrence and predictive efficacy of widely used risk assessment models as well as D-dimer in one of the general hospitals in Beijing, China.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the investigators recruited adult inpatients attending Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital in Beijing from June 2018 to April 2020, screened for patients with a hospital stay over 3 days and new-onset of VTE during hospital stay, and identified the in-hospital VTE patients after excluding patients who presented for DVT and/or PE. Similarly, negative patients were selected by not having a VTE during hospital stay. The diagnosis of VTE was confirmed as the occurrence of a critical value alert during hospitalization, which was predefined as ultrasound/radiology report of DVT or/and PE. Data was collected from the TEACH database of Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital affiliated with Tsinghua University.

Patients baseline characteristics were extracted from database. VTE risk assessment was conducted with either Caprini risk assessment model (surgical patients) or Padua prediction score (medical patients). The evaluation was started upon admission and regularly repeated depending on the patient's condition. The last evaluation was conducted before discharge. The D-dimer values during hospitalization were also collected.

The rate of in-hospital VTE, distributions of in-hospital VTE patients and the receiver operating characteristic curves were analyzed.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05058521
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
In-hospital VTE groupIn-hospital VTE group includes patients who were with a hospital stay over 3 days and new-onset of VTE during their stay. Patients who presented for VTE were excluded.
Negative groupNegative group includes patients who were with a hospital stay over 3 days and did not have a VTE during their hospital stay.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of in-hospital VTE

    The diagnosis of VTE was confirmed as the occurrence of a critical value alert during hospitalization, which was predefined as ultrasound/radiology report of DVT or/and PE.

    Measured: From June 2018 to April 2020

  2. Caprini risk assessment model scores

    Patients were stratified of VTE risk as very low risk (0), low risk (1-2), medium risk (3-4), high risk (5 and over).

    Measured: Through discharge, an average of 20 days

  3. Padua prediction score scores

    Patients were stratified of VTE risk as low risk (0-3) and high risk (4 and over).

    Measured: Through discharge, an average of 20 days

  4. D-dimer values

    The upper normal value 0.55mg/L FEU was used.

    Measured: Through discharge, an average of 20 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thromboembolism, run by Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 27 Sep 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 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?

The rate of in-hospital VTE (time frame: From June 2018 to April 2020). The study lists 4 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 27 Sep 2021.
