Trial summary

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support is a lifesaving tool used to treat cardiogenic shock, acute heart failure, or extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). However, its use is associated with significant complications, including mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Predictors of Mortality in Patients With VA-Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. A Retrospective Data Review.

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support is a lifesaving tool used to treat cardiogenic shock, acute heart failure, or extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). However, its use is associated with significant complications, including mortality. We aim to conduct a retrospective observational study of all patients at Heart Hospital who required VA-ECMO support due to cardiogenic shock during 1/06/2016 and 1/06/2022 to report the incidence of in-hospital mortality among patients who required VA-ECMO along with the predictors of mortality. Data will be collected to identify baseline characteristics and outcomes including clinical variables predictive of poor outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced life support modality for critically ill patients with refractory cardiac or respiratory failure. It is a temporary support for cardiorespiratory failure, bridging time for recovery or permanent assist. Besides, ECMO could be used in a variety of clinical presentations, such as severe traumas, extracorporeal-assisted rewarming (ECAR) of accidental deep hypothermia, and can be used as a bridge to lung or heart transplant.

Cardiogenic shock can be a fatal condition with poor prognosis. Conventional treatments for cardiogenic shock include vasopressor agents guided by invasive monitoring, and intraaortic balloon pump support. There has been growing interest in the use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as a salvage therapy for patients in cardiogenic shock refractory to conventional treatments. However, there is a low rate of survival to weaning or bridging therapy among patients with cardiogenic shock requiring ECMO (42-56%). Moreover, VA-ECMO use is associated with complications, including bleeding, renal failure. Thus, the benefits of this potentially life-saving support is still subject to discussion, especially for VA-ECMO use in the setting of cardiogenic shock as the evidence is scarce. Therefore, it important to identify the patients' related factors that may be associated with poor outcomes using real-world data. We will conduct a retrospective observational study of all patients at Heart Hospital who required VA-ECMO support due to cardiogenic shock during 1/06/2016 and 1/06/2022 with the aim of quantifying the incidence of in-hospital mortality among patients who required VA-ECMO in the setting of cardiogenic shock along with determining the predictors of mortality.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Morality and VA-ECMO, run by Hamad Medical Corporation at 1 site in Qatar.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 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 Qatar. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alaa Rahhal, Msc (44395646, ARahhal1@hamad.qa), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mortality (time frame: 6 months). 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 16 Feb 2023.
