Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Versus Intermittent Hemodialysis in Acute Kidney Injury (SAFE-APD)

February 5, 2022 updated by: Limeng Chen

The Study of Safety, Feasibility and Efficacy of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis in Acute Kidney Injury as Compared With Intermittent Hemodialysis, a Multi-center Non-blind Randomized Controlled Trial

This is a multi-center randomized clinical trial study. The purpose of this study is to examine safety, feasibility and efficacy of automated peritoneal dialysis as compared with intermittent hemodialysis for AKI patients with indications for dialysis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is rapidly increasing worldwide. This is a common and devastating disorder, especially in critical illnesses, affecting 5-8% of all hospitalized patients and up to 30% of those in intensive care units, with high mortality. About 50-80% critical patients with AKI needed dialysis treatment. Intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) might be the most-commonly modalities applied in AKI patients requiring dialysis. However, no data of randomized study concerning renal recovery and treatment efficiency of AKI patients treated with APD is available in Chinese adult patients. This study is a 2-armed randomized controlled non-blind non-inferior trial to explore the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of APD in AKI patients as compared with intermittent hemodialysis. Base on the sample size estimation, 100 subjects (n=50 in each arm) should be enrolled in this study. The primary outcome is the rate of renal recovery (independence of dialysis) in the first 21days after initiation of renal replacement.

Health Status Questionnaire (Short Form-36) score within 21 days
Time Frame: At 21 days after the initiation of dialysis
Health Status Questionnaire (Short Form-36) is one of the most widely used generic measures of health-related quality of life and has been shown to discriminate between subjects with different chronic conditions and between subjects with different severity levels of the same disease.It generates 8 subscales and two summary scores. The 8 subscales are: physical functioning (Range 0-100), role limitations due to physical problems (Range 0-100), bodily pain (Range 0-100), general health perceptions (Range 0-100), vitality (Range 0-90), social functioning (Range 12.5-100), role-limitations due to emotional problems (Range 0-100), and mental health (Range 0-100). The two summary scores are the physical component summary (Range 13.6-61.9) and the mental component summary (Range 15.6-70.0). The higher the score is, the better quality of life of the patient is.
At 21 days after the initiation of dialysis
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score within 21 days
Time Frame: At 21 days after the initiation of dialysis
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a 30-point questionnaire that is used to measure cognitive impairment. The maximum score is 30. The following three cut-off levels should be employed to classify the severity of cognitive impairment: no cognitive impairment=24-30; mild cognitive impairment=18-23; severe cognitive impairment=0-17.

Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ) score within 21 days
Time Frame: At 21 days after the initiation of dialysis
Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ) ask the subject to complete answer 4 questions about the appetite. Tally the results based upon the following numerical scale: a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, e=5. The sum of the scores for the individual items constitutes the SNAQ score. The maximum SNAQ score is 20. SNAQ score < 14 indicates significant risk of at least 5% weight loss within six months.
At 21 days after the initiation of dialysis
