About this study

Currently, all patients in the hospital are woken up throughout the night to check for vital signs, no matter how sick they are. The investigators are doing this study to determine whether skipping routine vital sign checks at night improves participant sleep quality and satisfaction without increasing the risk of adverse events.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is:

  1. To determine the correlation between subjective and objective sleep quality measures.
  2. To compare the objective and subjective measures of sleep quality and satisfaction between the intervention group and the control group.
  3. To compare the adverse event rates in the intervention group and the control group, defined as ICU transfer or cardiac arrest occurring within 24 hours of risk stratification.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Risk StratificationBehavioural

    Every night, subjects will be risk stratified into low-risk or medium- to high-risk using a physiologic risk score, eCART. Subjects who meet the low-risk criteria will not be woken up for routine nighttime vitals (typically at midnight and at 4 am). However, subjects will continue to be woken up for laboratory draws, procedures, or treatments as per usual. Subjects who are medium- to high-risk will continue to be woken up at night for routine nighttime vitals. Alarms for all subjects, including low-risk subjects, will continue to alert nurses in real-time. If the primary nurse of a low-risk subject is alerted of an alarm, the nurse will have to go into the subject's room to turn off the alarm and therefore check on the patient.

  • Usual CareBehavioural

    The subject will continue to receive routine vital sign measurements and charting, standard for the ward or according to the physician orders, including routine spot-check vital signs, regardless of risk level.

Study groups in NCT03010774
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intervention - Risk StratificationExperimentalStudy participants will be risk stratified according to the eCART scoring algorithm each night. If they are stratified as low risk, they will not receive routine nighttime spot-check vital signs unless indicated by a change in patient status or monitor alarm.

Control - Usual CareActive comparatorStudy participants will be woken at night for routine nighttime spot-check vital signs regardless of patient disease severity or risk.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Risk Stratification in people with Sleep Quality, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in United States.

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 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 27 Mar 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Sleep Quality (time frame: 5 days). The study lists 3 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.

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 27 Mar 2020.
