Trial summary

The aging of the population goes along with an increased demand for intensive care among very elderly patients (above 75-80 years old). At the same time, there is a decline in the supply of intensive care units (ICU). The 1-year mortality of patients above 80 years old in ICU ranged from 40 to 70%. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prognostic Factors Associated With Mortality Within 6 Months Among Critically Ill Elderly Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit With Severe Acute Cholangitis

The aging of the population goes along with an increased demand for intensive care among very elderly patients (above 75-80 years old). At the same time, there is a decline in the supply of intensive care units (ICU). The 1-year mortality of patients above 80 years old in ICU ranged from 40 to 70%. Moreover, many survivors suffer from long-term sequelae as poor quality of life, cognitive impairment and functional disability.

It is unclear under what conditions older patients may benefit from ICU admission. Cholangitis frequently occured in older patient. Moreover, severe acute cholangitis is a potentially life threatening disease characterized by a biliary obstruction and an infection of the bile possibly evolving towards systemic infection, shock and death. Because of its potential rapid reversibility of symptom thanks to early intravenous antibiotics and biliary decompression with drainage, old patients suffering from acute cholangitis are easily admitted to intensive care unit.

To date, there is a lack of data about the outcome in this population admitted to the intensive care unit with acute cholangitis.

The aim of the current study is to describe the outcomes in elderly patients (> 75 years old) admitted to the ICU with acute cholangitis and to identify prognostics factors associated with long term mortality (6 months).

What is being measured

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

  1. mortality

    rate of survivors and non survivors

    Measured: 180 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. mortality

    rate of survivors and non survivors

    Measured: 90 days

  2. mortality

    rate of survivors and non survivors

    Measured: 28 days

  3. factors associated with 6 months mortality (underlying condition)

    Functional status : presence or absence of denutrition defined by a BMI < 19 kg/m2 and/or albuminemia < 30 g/l and/or loss of weight > 5% during the last month (or > 10% during the last three months)

    Measured: Day 1

  4. factors associated with 6 months mortality (severity score)

    Simplified Acute Physiology Score 2 Minimum value : 0 / Maximun value 163

    Measured: Day 1

  5. factors associated with 6 months mortality (Presence of hemodynamic failure)

    infusion of catecholamine (ie norepinephrine) during the ICU stay, yes or not

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  6. factors associated with 6 months mortality (Presence of respiratory failure)

    number of day(s) under mechanical ventilation

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  7. factors associated with 6 months mortality (Presence of renal failure)

    number od day(s) under renal replacement therapy

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  8. Clinical evolution

    Change in Sequential Organ Failure score between Day 1 and Day 3. We measured the Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score at day and day 3 and then made the difference between the two scores the SOFA score could range between 0 and 24 We calculated the score at day 1 and day 3 and made the difference An absence or a small difference between the 2 days is associated with a worse outcome

    Measured: Day 3

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 (time frame: 180 days). 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 NCT03831529, 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 6 Feb 2019.
