About this study

Official title: Incidence and Associated Risk Factors of Augmented Renal Clearance (ARC) in Critically Ill Trauma Patients of 50 Years Old and Above

This single-center prospective cohort study conducted at the adult trauma ICU of the Montreal General Hospital (MGH) affiliated with the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) aims to determine the incidence and associated risk factors of augmented renal clearance (ARC) in critically ill trauma patients of 50 years old and above.

Read the detailed description

Patients aged 50 years or older admitted to the ICU for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or polytrauma between January 2021 and October 2021 will be screened for study enrollment according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Research hypothesis :

  • Critically ill trauma patients aged 50 years or older admitted to the ICU present an augmented renal clearance;
  • A set of factors could predict, to a certain extent, the risk of developing ARC in critically ill trauma patients aged 50 years or older admitted to the ICU.

ARC will be assessed for every patient based on daily 8-hour urine collections started within the first 24 hours of ICU admission and daily serum creatinine concentrations. The first seven days will consist of daily urinary collection while only biweekly samples (days 10 and 14) will be collected for the second week. Since ARC is a time-sensitive event, the use of a deferred consent will allow for urine collection to begin as soon as possible after admission. All other data required for the study (demographic and other clinically relevant data) will be collected retrospectively once consent from surrogate or patient has been obtained. Data will be collected from study enrollment up until one of the following events : 1) Day 14 of ICU stay ; 2) ICU discharge; 3) AKI onset; 4) institution of RRT; 5) Removal of urinary catheter; 6) Withdrawal of informed consent; 7) Death; whichever occurs first.

Data regarding demographic variables including age, gender, anthropometric measurements, admission diagnosis, nature of injuries, comorbidities, and length of stay (LOS) will be obtained through the patient's medical records as well as the clinical information system. Data concerning ventilation and 24-hour fluid balance will be obtained through nursing records. Information regarding drug therapy (e.g., vasopressor and antibiotic use) will be obtained through the MUHC software. The Injury Severity Score (ISS) score will be compiled from the local Trauma Registry, while the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score will be calculated directly.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the incidence of augmented renal clearance in critically ill trauma patients aged 50 years and older

    The incidence of augmented renal clearance is dichotomic: presence or absence of augmented renal clearance defined as a creatinine clearance of ≥ 130 mL/min/m² measured by a daily 8 hour urine collection

    Measured: Once a day, up to 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To determine demographic and clinical risk factors for ARC in critically ill trauma patients aged 50 years and older

    Predictive variables of ARC to be included in the model include: age strata (50-59 years old, 60-69 years old, 70 years old and above; biological gender; type of trauma (TBI, polytrauma without TBI, combined polytrauma and TBI) and severity of trauma (Injury Severity Score (ISS score), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, severity of TBI (GSC score at admission).

    Other variables to be included in the model will depend on the number of cases observed with a minimum of 10 cases per variable.

    Measured: Up to 14 days

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted23 Feb 2021
  2. Study startMar 2024 (estimated)
  3. Primary completionDec 2024 (estimated)
  4. Study completionDec 2025 (estimated)

Why it stopped: This study was planned and approved just before the 2020 pandemic - once the pandemic resolved, significant changes occurred in the ICU that prevented doing the study - hence it was withdrawn with no patient ever enrolled

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Augmented Renal Clearance and Critical Illness, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2024. 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 Canada. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

To determine the incidence of augmented renal clearance in critically ill trauma patients aged 50 years and older (time frame: Once a day, up to 14 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 13 Dec 2024.
