About this study

Official title: Clinical Deterioration Caused by Elevated Parathyroid Hormone Levels Among Critically-Ill Patients With Vitamin D Depletion: a Secondary Analysis of a Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Study

This study aims to investigate the impacts of abnormally elevated PTH levels on clinical outcomes among critically ill patients with vitamin D depletion.

Read the detailed description

This study is a secondary analysis of data from a previous multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study (REC No: 201805087RINB) examining vitamin D deficiency prevalence and outcomes in critical care. From the previously enrolled 651 critically ill patients admitted to medical and surgical intensive care units (ICUs), those enrolled within 48 hours of admission are analyzed. Vitamin D depletion is defined as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level <30 ng/mL. Patients are categorized as PTH non-responders (PTH levels of 15-68.3 pg/mL) or PTH responders (PTH levels > 68.3 pg/mL). The primary endpoints include the rate of survival to day 28 and the rate of survival to hospital discharge. Secondary endpoints include the length of ICU stay at day 28 and day 90, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, and blood clinical laboratory variables.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    Survival on day 28, survival to hospital discharge

    Measured: From enrollment to day 90

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score

    Apache II Score is a severity-of-disease classification system based on a number of laboratory values and patient signs taking both acute and chronic disease into account. An integer score from 0 to 71 with higher scores meaning a worse outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to day 90

  2. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score

    SOFA score is a scoring system that assesses the performance of several organ systems in the body (neurologic, blood, liver, kidney, and blood pressure/hemodynamics) and assigns a score based on the data obtained in each category. An integer score from 0 to 24 with higher scores meaning a worse outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to day 90

  3. ICU length of stay

    The days patients stays in ICU

    Measured: From enrollment to day 90

  4. Laboratory parameters

    Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), cortisol

    Measured: From enrollment to day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vitamin D Deficiency and Hyperparathyroidism, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 7 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 2 Dec 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 Taiwan. 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?

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?

Mortality (time frame: From enrollment to day 90). 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 2 Dec 2024.
