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

Study population: For the prospective cohort, study population consists of all consecutive patients diagnosed with CS and admitted to participating CICUs in the Emilia Romagna region. For the prospective cohort patients will be enrolled after study approval and until 31 December 2027. Patients will be enrolled upon admission or at the development of CS if already admitted. Retrospective data will be collected for five years, starting from January 1st 2018 until the starting date of the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients (≥18 years old) admitted to a participating CICU with suspected CS of stage from C to E according to SCAI (Society of cardiovascular intervention)classification of cardiogenic shock.
  • Signed informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • CS following cardiac surgery (post-cardiotomy), ● Significant polytrauma or neurological injury.

About this study

The goal of this observational study is to understand and describe the epidemiology of cardiogenic shock in Emilia Romagna with a specific focus on outcome stratified by aetiologies, sex and age. The main outcomes are:

  • Incidence of cardiogenic shock (CS) over the total CICU admissions, CS-related in-hospital mortality and length of hospitalization, stratified by aetiologies, sex and age
  • Epidemiology of patients admitted with CS, regarding age, gender, etiology and modality of presentation (acute or acute on chronic), echocardiographic and haemodynamic data, treatment strategy with inotropes and/or short-term MCS, cardiac arrest.

This is an observational study without intervention. Patients will be treated according to current clinical practice, according to physician judgment and data sheets of each drug used according to clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter observational study with both a retrospective and a prospective cohort.

Study population will include all consecutive patients diagnosed with cardiogenic shock and admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit of the participating centers.

For the patients enrolled at IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliera-Universitaria di Bologna this study will involve a collaboration with UO Cardiologia.

For the retrospective cohort, patients will be selected based on ICD9 discharge codes and included if they fulfill inclusion criteria after review of hospital charts. The retrospective cohort will serve as a historical comparison regarding epidemiology, treatment strategies and survival.

Incidence and workload burden of CICU will be studied comparing the number of CS patients and the total number of admissions in the study period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of CS over the total CICU admissions stratified by aetiologies, sex and age.

    Incidence

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Length of hospitalization, stratified by aetiologies, sex and age.

    Days

    Measured: 5 years

  3. CS-related in-hospital mortality stratified by aetiologies, sex and age.

    Incidence

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Epidemiology of patients admitted with CS, regarding age, gender, etiology and modality of presentation (acute or acute on chronic), echocardiographic and haemodynamic data, treatment strategy with inotropes and/or short-term MCS, cardiac arrest.

    Demography description

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Recovery from cardiogenic shock, defined as improvement to at least SCAI stage B or discharge from CICU to a step-down ward

    Recovery from cardiogenic shock

    Measured: 5 years

  6. In-hospital survival according to age, etiology, presentation (acute or acute on chronic) and modality of treatment (inotropes or MCS).

    In-hospital survival

    Measured: 5 years

  7. Rate and reason of unplanned re-hospitalizations within one month after primary discharge

    Rate and reason of unplanned re-hospitalizations

    Measured: 5 years

  8. Workload burden will be estimated as the percentage of CS admission and the mean duration of CICU stay as compared to other admissions during study period

    Workload burden

    Measured: 5 years

  9. Rate of adherence to several items and differences between older era (retrospective data) and prospective cohort

    Blood counts, ECG, oxygen saturation and respiratory monitoring.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of successful bridge to heart replacement therapy (heart transplant or LVAD implant) in patients potentially eligible (i.e. age < 71 years old) and transferred to IRCCS Policlinico S.Orsola hub center.

    Rate of successful bridge to heart replacement therapy

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Comparison of survival between patients who underwent HRT as a consequence of CS to elective patients in the study period

    Comparison of survival

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Description of in-hospital complications such as rate of renal replacement therapy, number of nosocomial infections with therapy and consequent associated mortality.

    Description of in-hospital complications

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Description of MCS-related complications, including bleeding requiring transfusions, vascular complications including bleeding requiring intervention and limb ischemia.

    Description of MCS-related complications

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiogenic Shock and Acute Coronary Event, run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2025. 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 Italy. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of CS over the total CICU admissions stratified by aetiologies, sex and age. (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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.
