All patients with suspicion of or confirmed AMI are to be included in the study in accordance with local ethics requirements: * If suspicion of AMI is NOT confirmed, only baseline data and hospital mortality outcome is collected * if the diagnosis of AMI is confirmed, then full data collection is required

Who may be able to join

  • All patients with suspected AMI

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Incidence, Diagnosis, Management and Outcome of Acute Mesenteric Ischaemia: a Prospective, Multicentre Observational Study

This is a prospective, multicentre observational study screening all adult patients admitted to a participating hospital over a 6-month study period (may be adjusted to 4-8 months according to recruitment) and including all patients with suspicion of or confirmed acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI).

Only admission data and hospital mortality outcome will be collected for patients in whom suspicion of AMI is not confirmed. For patients with confirmed AMI full data collection regarding diagnostics, management and long-term outcome is required.

Read more

Investigators aim to recruit 40-50 sites with expected median of 10-20 patients with confirmed AMI per site during the study period (naturally depending on the size of the hospital). The start of the study is planned for Spring 2022.

The aim of the study is to identify the incidence of AMI and its different forms in adult hospitalized patients, and to describe patient characteristics (demographic, clinical and laboratory) at baseline, applied diagnostics and management, as well as outcomes in patients with AMI. An additional aim is to compare the baseline characteristics and outcomes of patients with confirmed AMI to those of patients with suspected AMI in whom the diagnosis was not confirmed.

Confirmed AMIPatients in whom diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) was confirmed. For these patients full data collection is required, including 1-year outcome. Maximum 500 patients in this group.

AMI suspected but not confirmedPatients in whom acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) was suspected but not confirmed. For these patients minimal data will be collected, only hospital survival as outcome. Maximum 2000 patients in this group.
Receives: Other: No intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of AMI

    Incidence of AMI in hospitalized adult patients in acute care hospitals

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. 30 days survival of AMI

    survival of patients with confirmed AMI

    Measured: 30 days after admission/suspicion of AMI/study inclusion

  2. Proportion of different forms of AMI

    Proportion of each form of AMI from all AMI cases

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Time to diagnosis

    Time from symptoms to diagnosis

    Measured: through study completion, study duration 6 months

  4. Time to treatment

    Time from diagnosis to treatment

    Measured: through study completion, study duration 6 months

  5. Treatment

    Surgery, endovascular intervention or palliation

    Measured: through study completion, study duration 6 months

  6. 1 year survival

    Survival of patients with AMI 1 year after diagnosis

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Quality of life score

    EQ-5D-5L (EuroQoL - European Quality of Life ), 5-25 points, the lower score means better outcome

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Mesenteric Ischemia, run by University of Tartu at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 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 31 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Estonia, Switzerland. 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?

Incidence of AMI (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT05218863, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 31 May 2023.
