To assess 16-year trends in undernutrition reporting and management in Switzerland

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

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

Analysis of data from the Swiss hospital discharge databases between 1998 and 2014. The database was provided by the Swiss federal office of statistics (http://www.bfs.admin.ch); it covers 98% of public and private hospitals within Switzerland and includes all stays for each hospital.

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.
13297188

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

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
undernutrition reporting
Time Frame: 1998-2014
ICD-10 codes E12 (undernutrition-related diabetes mellitus), E40 (kwashiorkor), E41 (nutritional marasmus), E42 (marasmic kwashiorkor), E43 (unspecified severe protein-energy undernutrition), E44 (protein-energy undernutrition of moderate and mild degree), E46 (unspecified protein-energy undernutrition), R63 (R63.0: Anorexia, R63.3: feeding difficulties and mismanagement; R63.4: abnormal weight loss and R63.6: Insufficient intake of food and water due to self-neglect), and R64 (cachexia).
1998-2014

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
nutritional management
Time Frame: 1998-2014
CHOP codes related to enteral nutrition (96.6 and 96.35), parenteral nutrition (99.15), nutritional advice and therapy (89.0A.30, 89.0A.31 or 89.0A.32, depending on year) and multimodal nutritional therapy (89.0A.4*, where *=any number).
1998-2014

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Length of stay
Time Frame: 1998-2014
Overall length of hospital stay, in days
1998-2014
In-hospital mortality
Time Frame: 1998-2014
Hospital mortality (code=deceased)
1998-2014
Nosocomial infection
Time Frame: 1998-2014
ICD-10 codes T80.2 (Infections following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection); T82.6 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to cardiac valve prosthesis); T82.7 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts); T83.5 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in urinary system); T83.6 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in genital tract); T84.5 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to internal joint prosthesis); T84.6 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to internal fixation device [any site]); T84.7 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to other internal orthopaedic prosthetic devices, implants and grafts); T85.7 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts); A04.7 (Clostridium difficile infection);

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

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.
January 1, 2017

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.
July 29, 2017

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.
