About this study

Official title: Effect Of Obesity on The Outcome Of Mechanically Ventilated Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Study the relationship between the body mass index and duration of mechanical ventilation \& complications in mechanically ventilated COPD patients.

Study the effect of obesity on mortality rate of COPD mechanically ventilated patients.

Determine prevalence of obesity in mechanically ventilated COPD patients.

Read the detailed description

Obesity has become a global epidemic with prevalence rising both in developed and developing countries. The percentage of patients with obesity in the intensive care unit (ICU) can be expected to increase concomitantly or even more since obesity increases the risk for a more severe disease course with more need for ICU admission and mechanical ventilation .

Obesity, especially abdominal obesity (android fat distribution) and severe obesity, results in altered respiratory anatomy and physiology and, therefore, complicated airway management and adapted ventilator settings during mechanical ventilation. Obesity appears to be associated with an increased risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and infection, mainly pneumonia probably related to an imbalanced production of adipokines. In ventilated patients, obesity increases ICU length of stay and the duration of mechanical ventilation .

Obesity is relatively common among individuals with COPD, corresponding to 20%-35% of patients with COPD. Increasing evidence suggests that obesity is a risk factor for impaired quality of life, exercise intolerance, and suboptimal disease control in COPD .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Effects of Obesity on COPD Mechanically Ventilated Patients, run by Assiut University.

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 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 21 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Study the effect of obesity on morbidity and mortality rate of COPD mechanically ventilated patients. (time frame: one year). 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 21 Sep 2023.
