About this study

Official title: Effect of Post-dialysis Weight Evaluated With Bioimpedance Spectroscopy on Dialysis Morbidities and Clinical Outcomes in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

A reasonable and simple algorithm was used to guide the dry weight determination with Body Composition Monitor with the principle of Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BCM-BIS) and analyze the feasibility of this algorithm and evaluate the influence of BCM-BIS-guided fluid management on the incidence of dialysis morbidities and clinical outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.

Read the detailed description

298 MHD patients in 6 hemodialysis centers in Taiwan were enrolled in this randomized controlled study. All the participants were randomized into study group ( dry weight (DW) determined by BCM-BIS) and control group ( dry weight determined by clinical symptoms) with stratification by diabetes mellitus and centers. Body composition monitor based on bioimpedance spectroscopy (BCM-BIS) was performed monthly and concomitant biochemical data and clinical outcomes were collected. Intra-dialysis complications were recorded in every dialysis session. Primary outcome was all-cause hospitalization. Secondary outcomes included 1) complications during DW adjustment 2) intra-dialysis morbidities 3) hypertension 4) mortality 5) acute fluid overload (AFO) or cardiovascular (CV)-related events. The clinical feasibility of the BCM-BIS algorithm was also inspected. Statistical methods: a software (SAS) 9.3 was used for statistical analysis in this study. R 3.0 was used for graphic presentation of parts of the results. Relative risk, incidence rate ratio and Fisher's exact test were used to compare the discrete outcomes in both groups. Survival analysis was used for time-related events. Repeated-measured and longitudinal data were analyzed with the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) through the procedure for continuous variables (PROC MIXED) and for discrete variables (PROC GLIMMIX) in SAS.

What is being measured

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

  1. All-cause Hospitalization

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Complications During DW Adjustment

    we wanted to compared whether the dialysis-related complications are different when DW (dry weight) is adjusted, no matter according to BCM (body composition monitor) results or clinical judgement, in both groups. The result is expressed as the percentage of months in which complications happened when DW adjustment presented (using total months which DW adjustments are present as denominator).

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bioimpedance Spectroscopy and Clinical judgement in people with Fluid Overload, run by An Hsin QingShui Clinic.

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 4 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 2 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Aug 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

All-cause Hospitalization (time frame: 1 year). 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 Feb 2016.
