  • Ages Up to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study included 96 patients diagnosed with pemphigus who received inpatient treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 1st, 2014, and December 31st, 2020. The inclusion criteria covered both initial and follow-up cases, without age or sex restrictions. Diagnosis was confirmed through pathological biopsy, classifying pemphigus into different types. Patients underwent routine assessments, received various treatments, and were monitored for complications during hospitalization. Ten patients with multiple hospitalizations for cyclophosphamide pulse therapy and three patients not recovering were excluded.

Who may be able to join

  • inpatients.
  • Pathologic diagnosis of pemphigus.

Who cannot join

  • Patients hospitalized for cyclophosphamide shock therapy only.
  • Patients who did not recover and were discharged due to personal reasons.

Official title: Identifying Factors Influencing In-Hospital Relapse in Pemphigus Patients: A Retrospective Study

The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the factors influencing in-hospital relapse during acute episodes of pemphigus, an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by self-antibodies targeting desmogleins. The study included 96 pemphigus patients hospitalized in China between January 2014 and December 2020. The primary questions addressed by the study were:

What are the risk factors associated with in-hospital relapse during acute episodes of pemphigus? Participants in the study underwent a retrospective analysis using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to identify and understand the various risk factors contributing to in-hospital relapse. This research aimed to contribute valuable insights into the factors influencing the course of pemphigus, providing crucial information for better management and treatment strategies.

Read the detailed description

This retrospective study conducted in China between January 2014 and December 2020 aimed to comprehensively examine factors influencing in-hospital relapse during acute episodes of pemphigus, an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by self-antibodies targeting desmogleins-essential cell adhesion molecules. The study enrolled 96 pemphigus patients who were hospitalized during acute episodes.

Research Questions:

Primary Question:

What are the identifiable risk factors associated with in-hospital relapse in pemphigus patients during acute episodes?

Methods:

Study Type: Retrospective Observational Study Participant Population: 96 pemphigus patients hospitalized in China Duration: January 2014 to December 2020

Main Tasks:

Data Collection:

Retrospective analysis of medical records and clinical data of pemphigus patients during acute hospitalizations.

Identification of demographic information, clinical characteristics, and treatment modalities.

Risk Factor Determination:

Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis employed to assess potential risk factors.

Variables considered included demographic factors, disease severity, and specific treatment regimens.

Outcome Measurement:

Identification of in-hospital relapse as the primary outcome. Correlation of relapse occurrence with the identified risk factors.

Results:

Key Findings:

Identification of specific risk factors contributing to in-hospital relapse in pemphigus patients.

Quantification of the impact of demographic and clinical variables on relapse probability.

Significance:

Clinical Implications:

Contribution of valuable insights for clinicians in predicting and managing in-hospital relapse in pemphigus patients.

Informing treatment strategies based on identified risk factors.

Research Contribution:

Expansion of understanding regarding the course and management of pemphigus. Providing a foundation for future prospective studies and the development of targeted interventions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pemphigus Vulgaris, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2023. 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 China. 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?

in-hospitalization relapse (time frame: through hospitalization (Up to 1 month)). 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 12 Dec 2023.
