Trial summary

Critical patients which requiring admission to intensive care (IT) are a special group of patients. In these patients the prevalence of anemia reported in studies is 75%. This prevalence is similar to that in the retrospective observational study conducted in our intensive care unit(ICU). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Anemia of Inflammation and Deficiency Anemia in Critically Ill Patients; Biological Markers

Critical patients which requiring admission to intensive care (IT) are a special group of patients. In these patients the prevalence of anemia reported in studies is 75%. This prevalence is similar to that in the retrospective observational study conducted in our intensive care unit(ICU). Of the 783 patients included in the study, 551 (73.37%) had anemia on admission. Frequently anemia is present on discharge from ICU or hospital and may persist for an average of 11 weeks. Some studies have reported the presence of anemia as far as 6 months after discharge. It is widely accepted that anemia has a negative impact on rehabilitation and quality of life, but the treatment can not be exclusively based on blood products due to the risks associated with transfusion. Alternative treatments such as injectable iron or erythropoietin should be considered.

The Transfusion Management Initiative Group recently issued recommendations on perioperative anemia. Similar recommendations for ICU have not yet been developed in Romania. The current study has two main purposes. The first to adopt the perioperative anemia diagnostic algorithm and adapt it to anemic patients on ICU; the second to identify patients with mixed anemia (inflammatory and iron deficient anemia) who can benefit from treatment with iron.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in hemoglobin levels during ICU stay

    Measured: 21 days: day 0=point 1; day 7=point 2; day 14=point 3; day 21 =point 4;

  2. Number of transfusions during ICU stay

    Measured: Up to 3 months of hospital stay

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Days spent on ICU

    Measured: Up to 3 months of hospital stay

  2. Days spent in hospital

    Measured: Up to 3 months

  3. Change in hemoglobin level during hospital stay

    Measured: Up to 3 months: week 3=point 1; week 6=point 2; week 9=point 3; week 12=point4

  4. Number of hours of mechanical ventilation during hospital stay

    Measured: Up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia, Iron Deficiency and Anemia of Chronic Disease, run by Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy at 2 sites in Romania.

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 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Romania. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Robert Szabo, Resident MD (0040755628255, robsz11@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in hemoglobin levels during ICU stay (time frame: 21 days: day 0=point 1; day 7=point 2; day 14=point 3; day 21 =point 4;). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04071067, 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?
