Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult patients with cirrhosis admitted to the hospital are evaluated and then consented to participate in the study (see Inclusion/Exclusion). Patients with cirrhosis admitted to the general ward or intensive care unit may be enrolled. The investigators will collect multiple clinical characteristics from the medical record and follow the patients over the hospitalization and/or until 28 days to determine if clinical events have occurred including bleeding, thrombosis, re-hospitalization and death.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients with cirrhosis admitted to a hospital ward or ICU for greater than 24 hours.
  • Patient must undergo 1 or more invasive non-surgical procedures at admission or during the hospitalization.

Who cannot join

  • Age < 18 years old
  • Prisoner
  • Pregnant
  • Unable to provide consent
  • Previously enrolled in this study

About this study

Patients with cirrhosis are frequently hospitalized and often undergo procedures. Knowledge surrounding bleeding risk is sparse and practice patterns vary across centers in regards to bleeding prophylaxis. The goal of this study to is to obtain more knowledge regarding risk factors for procedural related bleeding in patients with cirrhosis and to develop a predictive model to risk stratify patients before undergoing procedures. Through collaboration from centers across the world this study should provide information on prevalence of bleeding and variation in practice patterns for prophylaxis.

Read the detailed description

Hospitalized patients with cirrhosis who undergo 1 or more non-surgical procedure will be enrolled. The investigators will collect multiple clinical characteristics from the medical record and follow the patients prospectively over the hospitalization and/or until 28 days to determine if clinical events have occurred including bleeding, thrombosis, re-hospitalization and death. Characteristics of the hospitalization will be recorded including presence of acute decompensation and acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF). Procedure type will be recorded including coagulation laboratory data before and after each procedure. All bleeding events will be recorded and characteristics surrounding each bleed will be recorded. Bleeding will be defined according to International Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) definitions of major bleed and clinically relevant non-major bleed. REDCap (https://www.project-redcap.org) will be used to collect and centralize data maintained at the University of Virginia. Characteristics of each hospitalization will be recorded accordingly and patients will be followed for 28 days for outcome and mortality information. Each participating center will obtain local Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval to participate and enter data directly into REDCap. After center IRB approval is obtained, centers will consecutively enrolling patients on a rolling basis. Data will be collected from enrollment until death, transplant, discharge and/or 28 days on each individual enrolled.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of procedural-related bleeding events in patients with cirrhosis

    During each hospitalization every procedure will be recorded and details surrounding each bleeding event related to a procedure will be recorded.

    Measured: Each patient enrolled will be followed for 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bleeding and Procedural Complication, run by University of Virginia 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2022. 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?

Prevalence of procedural-related bleeding events in patients with cirrhosis (time frame: Each patient enrolled will be followed for 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 4 Nov 2022.
