About this study

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical life-support technique for patients with severe medical conditions. Various factors affect the mortality rates of patients in intensive care units, presenting a significant clinical challenge in accurately predicting outcomes based on a limited set of indicators.

Read the detailed description

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is used to provide continuous extracorporeal respiratory and circulatory support for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure. It is the most important life support method in critical care medicine, and also one of the most complex and expensive treatment methods in intensive care unit (ICU). It takes a lot of resources to maintain. Therefore, it is particularly important to strictly grasp the indications of patients and accurately predict the prognosis of patients to assist clinical decision-making.

Several previous published studies have used clinical scores to predict the prognosis of ECMO patients, but most of them focused on ECMO outcomes in specific patient groups, such as adult respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), respiratory failure, lung transplantation, cardiogenic shock, and so on. In addition, most of these estimates were calculated using traditional statistical methods and have limited fitting power for data sets with more characteristic variables.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) provide a more advanced alternative to traditional statistical methods, and have unparalleled advantages in dealing with data sets with high-dimensional characteristic variables and nonlinear data. And it can self-iterate to improve model performance. In addition, ML, which can process information based on causal or statistical data, may reveal hidden dependencies between clinical indicators and disease prognosis and support clinical decision making, has emerged as the best alternative The primary outcome measures discharged alive from the hospital and died during hospitalization. A total of 69 clinical characteristic indicators were identified based on relevant literature and insights from ECMO experts in critical care medicine. These indicators included demographic data such as age, height, weight, and the medical history of ECMO patients. Additionally, infection indicators were assessed within 24 hours prior to the initiation of ECMO support and within 24 hours after its discontinuation. Furthermore, indicators pertaining to cardiac, renal, and hepatic function, as well as the type of shock (distributive shock, hypovolemic shock, cardiogenic shock, obstructive shock), were included. In addition, the average daily liquid volume within three days after the initiation of ECMO support, the duration of ECMO support, and the ICU length of stay were also considered.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ECMO, run by Zhujiang Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 23 Oct 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 China. 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?

survive (time frame: Patients were recorded from 48 hours before initiation of ecmo to the date of survival to hospital discharge or death for up to three months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06654388, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 23 Oct 2024.
