Trial summary

Evaluate the accuracy, in the diagnosis of critical illness myopathy and / or neuropathy, of the simplified peroneal nerve test performed by a neurophysiopathology technician or by a neurophysiopathology doctor (as the gold standard) compared to the exam performed by an intensivist.

About this study

Official title: Validation Study of Simplified Electrophysiological Examination in the Diagnosis of Critical Illness Myopathy or Neuropathy

Evaluate the accuracy, in the diagnosis of critical illness myopathy and / or neuropathy, of the simplified peroneal nerve test performed by a neurophysiopathology technician or by a neurophysiopathology doctor (as the gold standard) compared to the exam performed by an intensivist.

Medical subject headings
Polyneuropathies

What is being measured

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

  1. sensitivity and specificity of peroneal nerve test performed by a neurophysiopathologist compared to peroneal nerve test performed by an intensivist when peroneal nerve test is dichotomised in normal or abnormal

    DTComPair-package in R

    Measured: up to the comlpete execution of the two peroneal nerve exams,at most an hour

  2. specificity of peroneal nerve test performed by a neurophysiopathologist compared to peroneal nerve test performed by an intensivist when peroneal nerve test is dichotomised in normal or abnormal

    DTComPair-package in R

    Measured: up to the comlpete execution of the two peroneal nerve exams, at most an hour

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. evaluation of concordance between peroneal nerve test performed by an intensivist compared to peroneal nerve test performed by a neurophysiopathologist considering the test as a continuous variable

    It will be performed either using Bland-Altman plot and mix model effect

    Measured: up to the comlpete execution of the two peroneal nerve exams, at most an hour

  2. correlation between hospital mortality and abnormal peroneal nerve test

    Anova

    Measured: up to hospital discharge, an average of 6 months

  3. correlation between hospital discharge destination and abnormal peroneal nerve test

    Anova

    Measured: up to hospital discharge, an average of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Illness Polyneuropathy and Critical Illness Myopathy, run by Università degli Studi di Brescia at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2019. 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 Italy. 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?

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?

sensitivity and specificity of peroneal nerve test performed by a neurophysiopathologist compared to peroneal nerve test performed by an intensivist when peroneal nerve test is dichotomised in normal or abnormal (time frame: up to the comlpete execution of the two peroneal nerve exams,at most an hour). 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?
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 13 Dec 2019.
