About this study

Official title: Pattern of Disease and Determinants of Clinical Outcomes Among ICU Patients on Mechanical Ventilator in Southern Ethiopia: A Multi-center Prospective Cohort Study

The global mortality rate of patients on MV is very high which is varied with the income level of the country, duration of a mechanical ventilator, the pattern of disease, ICU staff profile, availability of medical supplies. All Studies conducted so far in Sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia among ICU patients primarily focused on the pattern of admission, the incidence of mortality, and its determinants. However, the body of evidence on the pattern of disease, the incidence of MV, and determinants of mortality among patients on MV is still uncertain and a topic of debate nationally as well as locally.

Therefore, A multicenter prospective cohort study is planned to be carried out in Southern Ethiopia Teaching and referral hospital ICUs.

Read the detailed description

Introduction: The global mortality rate of patients on MV is very high which is varied with the income level of the country, duration of a mechanical ventilator, the pattern of disease, ICU staff profile, availability of medical supplies. All Studies conducted so far in Sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia among ICU patients primarily focused on the pattern of admission, the incidence of mortality, and its determinants. However, the body of evidence on the pattern of disease, the incidence of MV, and determinants of mortality among patients on MV is still uncertain and a topic of debate nationally as well as locally.

Objective: The general objective of the study is to investigate the pattern of disease and determinants of mortality among ICU patients on Mechanical ventilators in Southern Ethiopia from April 2021 to September 2022.

Methods: After obtaining Ethical clearance from Research Ethics Committee (IRB), a multi-center cohort study will be conducted in three teaching and referral hospitals in Southern Ethiopia; namely, Hawassa university referral hospital (HURH), Dilla University referral hospital (DURH), and Wolaita Sodo referral hospital (WURH) from March 2021, to September 2022. Four Hundred Forty-four consecutive Adult patients who will be on a mechanical ventilator in ICU fulfilling the inclusion criteria and will be followed for 28-days to assess the pattern of disease, survival status and determinants of mortality will be included. Data will be entered into Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22 for analysis. Descriptive statistics will be run to see the overall distribution of the study subjects concerning the variables under study. Chi-square test and odds ratio will be used to determine the association between hypothesized independent and dependent variables. Multivariate analysis will be conducted to control possible confounders and identify independent predictors of length of ICU stay and 28- days mortality. Survival analysis and Cox regression will be done to estimate the probability of dying within 28 days and time to wean from a mechanical ventilator.

  • Mechanical ventilatorOther

    patients on a mechanical ventilators in ICU will be followed for 28-days for clinical outcomes

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of mortality

    The incidence of mortality of patients in the ICU who are on Mechanical ventilator during 28-days follow up

    Measured: 28-days

  2. time to death

    The time with which patients die during follow up

    Measured: 28-days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. time to wean from the MV

    This refers to the time when patients weaned from the MV

    Measured: 28-days

  2. time to develop adverse events

    The time with which patients develop complications during follow up such as cardiac arrest, ventilator associated Pneumonia etc.

    Measured: 28-days

  3. Incidence of prolonged ventilation

    This study intends to investigate how many of patients are on mechanical ventilator for prolonged period during follow up as per the criteria of prolonged MV

    Measured: 28-days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Clinical Outcomes, run by Dilla University at 1 site in Ethiopia.

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 0 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 6 Dec 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 Ethiopia. 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 mortality (time frame: 28-days). 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 NCT05303831, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Dec 2022.
