Trial summary

alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a very common condition in patients admitting in ICU's. Brutal stop of alcohol consumption may lead to a withdrawal syndrome, wich is associated with a worse outcome for ICU patients (longuer ICU and hospital stays, use of mechanical ventilation, traumas).

About this study

alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a very common condition in patients admitting in ICU's. Brutal stop of alcohol consumption may lead to a withdrawal syndrome, wich is associated with a worse outcome for ICU patients (longuer ICU and hospital stays, use of mechanical ventilation, traumas). The aim of this study is to valid a score (PAWSS : prediction of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) scale) to predict at admission mild to severe AWS in ICU patients population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of PAWSS statistic performances to predict AWS in ICU patients

    Evaluation of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of PAWSS to predict moderate or severe AWS (defined by a CIWA greater than or equal to 8)

    Measured: the first 5 days of hospital stay

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Creation of a new score, the PAWSS-ICU, able to predict AWS in ICU patients

    To this end, the characteristics of the [no weaning/minimal weaning] and [moderate weaning/severe weaning] groups will be compared, in order to identify significant differences between these two groups, and thus enable the creation of a new score.

    On an exploratory basis :

    • assess the incidence of alcohol misuse and withdrawal syndrome in our population,
    • assess the incidence of complications in the population with moderate to severe withdrawal (trauma, occurrence of pneumopathy, need for mechanical ventilation),
    • assess length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality.

    Measured: during ICU stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Brest at 1 site in France.

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 6 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 15 Aug 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 France. 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?

Evaluation of PAWSS statistic performances to predict AWS in ICU patients (time frame: the first 5 days of hospital stay). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06555679, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Aug 2024.
