Who may be able to join

  • all patients treated at the Burns Intensive Care Unit (BICU) of the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) between January 2004 and December 2009.

About this study

This retrospective study characterizes the clinical course and identifies four independent predictors of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) after burn injury (post-burn ARDS; pbARDS). In addition, a clinically useful prognostic score for pbARDS is introduced (ARDS burn score), which was derived from these independent predictors. The newly developed score may be helpful for the development of specific treatment strategies.

Read the detailed description

Rationale:

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) after burn injury (post-burn ARDS; pbARDS) is a severe complication associated with a mortality of up to 44%. To date, only few studies have been published on the clinical course and predictive factors of pbARDS.

Objectives:

To characterize the clinical course of pbARDS, to identify relevant predictors, including the development of a prognostic score, and to examine outcome parameters such as mortality and hospitalization days.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis of 400 patients admitted to the Burns Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospital Zurich from 2004 to 2009 was performed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine independent risk factors for pbARDS. A prognostic score was developed, which was tested with leave-one-out-cross-validation and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of post-burn ARDS

    Number of patients who developed post-burn ARDS among 400 Patients admitted to Burns Intensive Care Unit of University Hospital Zurich

    Measured: 6 years

  2. Clinical course of post-burn-ARDS

    various clinical parameters related to the Outcome of post-burn-ARDS

    Measured: 6 years

  3. predictors of post-burn ARDS

    To identify relevant predictors of post-burn ARDS, including the development of a prognostic score

    Measured: 6 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. to examine outcome parameter mortality

    A retrospective analysis of 400 patients admitted to the Burns Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospital Zurich

    Measured: 6 years

  2. to examine outcome parameter hospital stay

    A retrospective analysis of 400 patients admitted to the Burns Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospital Zurich

    Measured: 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ARDS, Human and Burns, run by University of Zurich.

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 16 Jan 2019. 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?

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?

Incidence of post-burn ARDS (time frame: 6 years). 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 16 Jan 2019.
