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
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Sample size calculation was carried out using G*Power 3 software (Faul et al., 2007) 1. A calculated minimum sample of 88 patients admitted to the ICU with septic shock will be needed to detect an effect size of 0.5 in the effect of TGD index variability on the cardiac affection in septic shock cases (OR 1.597; 95% CI 1.18 - 2.15)2, with an error probability of 0.05 and 80% power on a one-tailed test with normal x-distribution. The sample will be raised by 10% to compensate for dropouts, attrition and non-response to be 100 participants. 1. Faul, F., Erdfelder, E., Lang, A.-G. \& Buchner, A. (2007).

Who may be able to join

  • 1- Adult patients (≥18 years) 2-Patients admitted to the ICU with septic shock.

Who cannot join

  • 1-Patients who have mixed aetiology of shock. 2-Known previous cardiac disease ( cardiovascular disease, heart failure, arrhythmia )

About this study

Official title: The Relation Between Dynamic Change in Triglyceride- Glucose Index, Procalcitonin and Cardiac Affection in Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit With Septic Shock.

The study is carried out to demonstrate the relation between Triglyceride -glucose index and cardiac affection in the patients admitted to the ICU with septic shock.

Read the detailed description

Sepsis, a condition characterized by a dysregulated immune response to infection, is a prominent contributor to global mortality(1).

Insulin resistance (IR) is typified by reduced insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues and is linked to various pathological conditions ( 2) The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, recognized as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance, has recently gained attention as a potential prognostic tool for various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases . ( 3) Preliminary investigations have revealed a correlation between metabolic disorders characterized by dysregulated lipid and glucose metabolism and the severity of sepsis. Notably, a high TyG index has been associated with increased in-hospital mortality in sepsis patients (4) studies only focused on the initial TyG value within the first 24 h of ICU admission and did not consider the dynamic changes in this marker over time. As insulin sensitivity in critically ill patients can change over time, (5) ,(6) It is possible that the TyG variability ratio (TyGVR) during hospital stay may be a better marker for adverse long-term prognosis and could be used for early risk stratification in critically ill patients, Procalcitonin (PCT) is produced during bacterial infections, sepsis, cardiogenic shock, major surgery, burns, multiple trauma, and after cardiac surgery( 7.8)

In this study we will discuss the relation between dynamic changes in both TyG index, procalcitonin and cardiac affection in the ICU patients admitted with septic shock.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Septic Shock, 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

1- To evaluate the effect of TyG index of on mortality of patients with septic shock.. (time frame: 3 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 24 Jul 2024.
