Long-term Survival and Renal Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients After Acute Kidney Injury: Swedish Multi-centre Cohort Study

April 23, 2015 updated by: Claire Rimes-Stigare, Karolinska Institutet

Long Term Survival and Renal Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients After Acute Kidney Injury: Swedish Multi-centre Cohort Study

The study evaluates how outcome varies among critically ill patients with and without acute kidney injury. Data from the Swedish Intensive care register and other Swedish national registers is used to compare how survival and post discharge renal function differ between critically ill patients with and without acute kidney injury.

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Background: Acute kidney injury is common amongst intensive care patients and is associated with extremely high mortality and morbidity in terms of increased risk of developing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Patients with CKD are at increased risk of cardiovascular, cerebro-vascular disease and long term increased risk of death. Those patients who progress to ESRD have a 20% mortality risk per year in Sweden. Outcome after acute kidney injury in the Swedish critical care population has never previously been described.

Method: This cohort study uses Swedish national healthcare registers to investigate the epidemiology of acute kidney injury. The Swedish Intensive Care Register (SIR) provides the population base, with data extraction between 2005 and 2011. The information obtained is cross-matched by the Swedish board for health and welfare (Social Styrelsen) with other national registries. All data are returned anonymized and individual patients can not be identified in any way. Additionally analysis is performed on a group and not on an individual basis. The key to this data is held by Swedish board for health and welfare. The other national registries include the Swedish Cause of Death Register (Dödsregister), the Swedish renal register (Svensknjurregistret) and the in and out-patients registers (Öppen- slutenvårdsregister) these are used to obtain data on all cause mortality, co-morbidities, Pre and Post ICU CKD and ESRD. Epidemiological methods are used to analyse the data.

Investigators aim to describe outcome in terms of long-term mortality (up to five years) and renal morbidity (incidence of CKD and ESRD) in critically ill patients with and without de novo AKI in Sweden.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
103000

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population was provided by the Swedish Intensive Care register and included patients receiving intensive care treatment between January 2005 and January 2011

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

All first admissions of adult patients registered on the Swedish Intensive Care Register between January 1st 2005 and January 1st 2011.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients under 18. Subjects with incomplete records. Patients previously diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease or End Stage Renal disease.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
De Novo Acute Kidney Injury
Patients who developed Acute Kidney Injury during intensive care admission and not previously diagnosed with chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease.
Other: Acute Kidney Injury
We will identify and observe "exposure" to Acute Kidney Injury during Intensive Care admission.
No Acute Kidney Injury.
Intensive care patients not diagnosed with acute kidney Injury during admission and not previously diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease or End Stage Renal Disease.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Mortality
Time Frame: 5 year
5 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease
Time Frame: 5 years
5 years
Incidence of End Stage Renal Failure

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
