November 29, 2023 updated by: Onur Kucuk, Ankara Ataturk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital

Long-term Outcomes of Intensive Care Unit Patients With Post-intubation Tracheal Stenosis; 7-year Follow-up

This retrospective, observational, cohort study evaluates the treatment management, long-term outcomes and survival analyses in patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of Post-Intubation Tracheal Stenosis (PITS) between 1st June 2016 and 1st June 2022. The study emphasizes the role of bronchoscopic interventions in treatment management and the effective and efficient use of health services.

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

This retrospective study will analyze data from adult patients aged 18 years and above who were admitted with a diagnosis of Post-Intubation Tracheal Stenosis to the intensive care units of Health Sciences University Ankara Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital and Yenimahalle Training and Research Hospital between 2016 and 2022. The analysis will examine data from both the hospital registration system and the patients' intensive care files. Patients who have a history of malignancy contributing to tracheal stenosis, patients who have a history of congenital tracheal anomalies or tracheal stenosis, those with incomplete intensive care follow-up information, patient follow-up files or hospital information system data, and patients who have been repeatedly hospitalized (with only the first hospitalisation data taken into account) shall be eliminated from the study. If patients who were discharged from the intensive care unit have one-year post-discharge data, the investigators will obtain the information from the hospital's follow-up system. Otherwise, investigators will collect information by calling patients or patients first-degree relatives by phone.The post-discharge data is from a past period, and the one-year follow-up period for the last patient included in the study ends on 1st June 2023.

The aim of the study is to determine whether early diagnosis and interventional bronchoscopic treatment have an impact on the length of intensive care unit stay and prognosis for patients with Post-Intubation Tracheal Stenosis whilst in the intensive care unit. This will be achieved through an investigation of patient outcomes following appropriate interventions.

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

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.
Simple Tracheal Stenosis
Simple stenosis was defined as lesions with a vertical extension <1 cm (short segment) with endoluminal occlusion, without tracheomalacia or loss of cartilage support.
Procedure: Interventional Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy offers vital information when evaluating patients suffering from tracheal stenosis. It enables direct visualisation which identifies the lesion, determines its location and extent of airway involvement, highlights vascularity and fragility, allows for tissue diagnosis and enables the operator to assess the extent of mucosal infiltration and airway compression caused by the tumour. The technique facilitates assessment of stenosis diameter for suitable stent selection. In addition to enabling diagnostic bronchoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy offers therapeutic options such as dilatation, cryotherapy and stenting for tracheal stenosis patients. Our clinical setting employs rigid bronchoscopy for interventional procedures with both diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
Other Names:
  • Rigid Bronchoscopy
Complex Tracheal Stenosis
Complex stenosis were defined as lesions ≥1 cm and varying degrees of cartilage involvement or circumferential contractile scar or tracheal stenosis associated with malacia and inflammation.
