Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: For this study, the investigators used the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, the details of which have been described elsewhere. The database includes administrative claims and discharge abstract data. In 2012, these data were collected for about seven million inpatients from 1,057 participating hospitals across Japan, which amounted to about half of the acute-care hospitalizations in the country.

Who may be able to join

  • investigators selected participants aged 20 years or older who had undergone either parenteral nutrition by central venous port insertion or enteral nutrition by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, percutaneous transesophageal gastrotubing, or ileostomy between April 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013. Patients who received both gastrostomy and central venous port insertion were assigned to the gastrostomy group.

Who cannot join

  • investigators excluded participants who had been diagnosed with cancer.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Short-term Mortality and Morbidity Between Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition for Adults Without Cancer: a Propensity-matched Analysis Using a National Inpatient Database

Short-term outcomes of parenteral and enteral nutrition for patients unable to eat normally were compared and analyzed.

Read the detailed description

Data were acquired from patients selected from a national inpatient database covering 1,057 hospitals in Japan. Participants had received artificial nutrition between April 2012 and March 2013, were 20 years or older, and did not have cancer. Participants were grouped into two groups: those receiving parenteral nutrition and those receiving enteral nutrition. The investigators performed one-to-one propensity-score matching between the groups. The primary outcome measurements were mortality rates at 30 and 90 days after the start of the procedure. The secondary outcomes were post-procedural complications, pneumonia, and sepsis. The investigators analyzed survival length of stay after the procedure using a Cox proportional hazards model.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality Calculated From Outcome Section From DPC Database at 90 Days

    Measured: 90 days after the start of the procedure

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Post-procedural Pneumonia

    Measured: the incidence of post-procedural pneumonia occurring during hospitalization. Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected median of 3 weeks after procedure.

  2. Post-procedural Sepsis

    Measured: the incidence of post-procedural sepsis occurring during hospitalization. Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected median of 3 weeks after procedure.

  3. Re-admission 30 Days

    Measured: re-admission within 30 days of discharge.

  4. Mortality Calculated From Outcome Section From DPC Database at 14 Days

    Measured: 14 days after the start of the procedure

  5. Mortality Calculated From Outcome Section From DPC Database at 30 Days

    Measured: 30 days after the start of the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Deglutition Disorders, run by Tokyo University.

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 1 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 30 Sep 2015. 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. 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 10 Sep 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?

Mortality Calculated From Outcome Section From DPC Database at 90 Days (time frame: 90 days after the start of the procedure). 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 NCT02512224, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Sep 2015.
