Trial summary

This study prospectively observed the complications intended as diarrhea or sti-sis that critically ill patients developed within 7 days after ICU admission. In addition, secondary aims investigated through bioimpedenziometry the loss of lean body mass and changes in phase angle during the same period of ICU stay. Read more about this study

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?

FREQUENCY OF diarrhea WITHIN 72 HOURS AFTER ICU ADMISSION (time frame: 7 DAYS). 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.
