About this study

Official title: Impact of Twice-daily Measurement of Expired Carbon Monoxide (CO) During Hospitalization in the Pulmonology Ward on Smoking and Smoking Cessation

The main objective of this study is to show that the repeated (twice-daily) measurement of expired CO during hospitalization helps reduce smoking.

Read the detailed description

Smoking in France represents 25 billion euros per year in care, hospitalizations and drugs and 78000 deaths / year are linked to a pathology attributable to this addiction. In addition, active consumption of cigarettes is a destabilizing factor for chronic respiratory diseases. During hospitalization for acute respiratory illness, evaluation of smoking cessation remains declarative. Although stopping advice and possibly nicotine replacement therapy are prescribed, no objective measure of smoking is performed to assess the adequacy of this attitude.

This project aims to objectively evaluate smoking during hospitalization by measuring twice daily exhaled CO. The impact of this intervention on the duration of hospitalization and smoking 3m after initial admission will also be evaluated. Tobacco consumption patterns based on reason for hospital admission and background pathology will be highlighted.

Secondary objectives include:

  • To measure the impact of expired CO measurement during hospitalization on the smoking status 1 month and 3 months after initial admission.
  • To determine smoking patterns during hospitalization according to reason for admission and background pathology.
  • To measure the effect of iterative CO measurement on the duration of stays.
  • To measure and compare the quality of life of patients.
  • To study the variability of expired CO measurements.

What participants receive

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

  • Twice-daily expired carbon monoxide (CO) measurementsOther

    Patients included in this arm will have expired CO measurements every morning and evening during their initial hospitalization.

  • Minimal controlOther

    Patients included in this arm will have one expired CO measurement on the morning just after initial hospital admission and a second expired CO measurement one the morning prior to discharge.

What is being measured

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

  1. % variation in expired CO

    Measured: Baseline to hospital discharge (expected maximum of 28 days)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Length of hospital stays

    Admission and discharge dates are recorded throughout 3 months of follow-up

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Smoking status (never, former current)

    Measured: Baseline (day 0)

  3. Smoking status (never, former current)

    Measured: 1 month

  4. Smoking status (never, former current)

    Measured: 3 months

Model description
This study is designed to compare one group of patients who had morning (6-8 am) and evening (5-7 pm) measurements of expired carbon monoxide (COexp) every day during their hospitalization (the twice-daily COexp group) versus a second group who had COexp measurements only the first morning following admission and the morning just prior to discharge (control group). A high potential for arm-contamination led the investigators to exclude a randomised design. The frequent COexp intervention was therefore deployed throughout months 1 and 3 of the four-month inclusion period, while the control intervention was deployed on months 2 and 4.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Twice-daily expired carbon monoxide (CO) measurements in people with Hospitalization and Smoking, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Difficulty in recruiting, many patients with exclusion criteria). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

% variation in expired CO (time frame: Baseline to hospital discharge (expected maximum of 28 days)). 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 31 Dec 2020.
