Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients admitted to the ICU within six months after start of the study (March-August 2023) will be asked for consent to participate in this study. A maximum of 50 'short stay' (<48 hours admitted) patients will be included. These patients will only participate in the baseline measurements. Patients that are eligible for the standard post-ICU outpatient clinic at three months (≥48 hours admitted/ventilated) will be invited for additional study measurements at the standard care outpatient visit at three months after admission.

Who may be able to join

  • Age: 18 years and above.

Who cannot join

  • Not proficient in speaking and/or understanding Dutch
  • Comorbidity highly affecting gut absorption (e.g. post-bariatric surgery)

About this study

Rationale: A significant proportion of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is unable to fully recover, even when the initial cause of their illness has been treated. Inadequate dietary intake prior to admission and during the recovery phase may leave patients in a frail physical state, limiting rehabilitation potential. Commonly used methods to assess nutritional intake and nutritional status are highly impacted by various disease-related confounders and reporting bias. We hypothesise that a combined assessment of biomarkers in plasma and urine may provide a more accurate overview of nutritional status at ICU-admission.

Objective:

Read more

Main: Assess nutrition-related biomarkers in plasma and urine samples at ICU admission

Secondary:

Identify the number of micronutrient deficiencies at ICU admission Compare biomarker profile and dietary intake of short and long-stay ICU patients at baseline Compare subjective dietary intake, nutritional status and muscle thickness between patients with and without micronutrient deficiencies at baseline Study design: Observational study

Study population: Adult patients admitted to the ICU. Two groups will be recruited: patients with a short length of stay (<48 hours) and patients with a longer length of stay (≥48 hours).

Main study parameters: Biomarker status in blood and urine at ICU admission.

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: In addition to standard care ICU treatment, the following measurements will be performed:

  • Within 24 hours after admission blood and urine samples will be collected from existing venous line and urinary catheter
  • Within 72 hours an ultrasound measurement of the upper leg will be performed.
  • During ICU stay, when the patient is capable to do so, they will be asked to complete a retrospective dietary intake assessment.

The risks and negative effects of these tests are limited. However, this study asks for a time investment and physical and mental effort of the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of biomarker deficits at ICU admission

    Total number of biomarker deficts at ICU admission, based on data collected within 24 hours after admission on:

    Markers general health: haemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), glucose, c-reactive protein (CRP), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), creatinine + glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), urea, albumin, total protein, lipid profile Micronutrients: potassium, calcium, sodium, vit B11, vit B1, vit B6, vit B12, vit D, Vit C, ferritin, magnesium, chloride, phosphorus

    Measured: at ICU admission

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Dietary intake

    24-hour dietary recall

    Measured: at ICU admission

  2. Physical health

    Bioimpedance analysis and ultrasound assessment of quadriceps muscle thickness

    Measured: at ICU admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Post Intensive Care Unit Syndrome and Malnutrition, run by Frisius Medisch Centrum at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 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 21 Nov 2024. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Number of biomarker deficits at ICU admission (time frame: at ICU admission). 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 Nov 2024.
