About this study

This prospective study aimed to predict morbidity and mortality after thoracic trauma in intensive care unit evaluated clinical and biochemical data of 50 intensive care unit patients. The research examined demographic factors such as gender, age, and smoking status, trauma scoring systems like ISS and RTS as well as biomarkers such as Surfactant-d and oxygenation parameters including the ROX index, PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio and FiO₂.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality Prediction Using ROX Index in Thoracic Trauma Patients

    To evaluate the predictive ability of the ROX index (unit: cmH₂O/L/s) for mortality in thoracic trauma patients. ROX index values were recorded at 1st, 3rd, and 7th days of hospitalization using standard clinical monitoring and ventilatory support parameters. Trends were analyzed in relation to survival outcomes.

    Measured: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization, following ICU admission.

  2. Mortality Prediction Using SP-D Levels in Thoracic Trauma Patients

    To assess the prognostic value of Surfactant Protein D (SP-D) levels (unit: ng/mL) for mortality prediction in thoracic trauma patients. SP-D levels were measured using an ELISA assay (Elabscience® Human Pulmonary Surfactant-associated Protein-D ELISA Kit) at 1st, 3rd, and 7th days to evaluate trends and correlations with survival outcomes.

    Measured: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization, following ICU admission.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Predictive Value of APACHE II Score in Mortality

    To analyze the effectiveness of the APACHE II score (range: 0-71; higher scores indicate worse outcomes) in predicting mortality in thoracic trauma patients. APACHE II scores were calculated based on clinical and laboratory parameters, including vital signs, blood gas values, and organ dysfunction markers at 1st, 3rd, and 7th days.

    Measured: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization.

  2. Predictive Value of SOFA Score in Mortality

    To evaluate the prognostic accuracy of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (range: 0-24; higher scores indicate worse outcomes) in thoracic trauma patients. SOFA scores were determined based on respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal, and neurological functions at 1st, 3rd, and 7th days.

    Measured: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization.

  3. Predictive Value of TRISS Score in Mortality

    To examine the relationship between Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) (range: 0-100%; higher scores indicate better survival probability) and survival outcomes in thoracic trauma patients. TRISS scores were calculated using physiological and anatomical injury severity data at 1st, 3rd, and 7th days.

    Measured: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization.

  4. Predictive Value of RTS Score in Mortality

    To assess the relationship between Revised Trauma Score (RTS) (range: 0-7.84; higher scores indicate better prognosis) and mortality risk in thoracic trauma patients. RTS scores were calculated using Glasgow Coma Scale, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate values at 1st, 3rd, and 7th days.

    Measured: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization.

  5. CRP Levels and Mortality Prediction

    To evaluate the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (unit: mg/L) and mortality in thoracic trauma patients.

    Measured: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization.

  6. Procalcitonin Levels and Mortality Prediction

    To analyze the prognostic value of procalcitonin (unit: ng/mL) levels in mortality prediction among thoracic trauma patients.

    Measured: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thorax Traumas, run by Suleyman Demirel University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 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 16 Apr 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Mortality Prediction Using ROX Index in Thoracic Trauma Patients (time frame: Measurements taken on day 1, day 3, and day 7 of hospitalization, following ICU admission.). 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 NCT06930222, which also lists 3 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?
