The National Early Warning Score: Preceding Dynamics in the Score for

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To this date no clinical evaluation reports of the dynamics in the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) for those patients who suffer an in-hospital cardiac arrest, IHCA, exists. This process needs to be investigated in order to optimize the future care of these patients.

Research Questions H1: Patients that suffer an IHCA has had higher NEWS in the preceding 24 hours from the event compared to those who did not suffer an IHCA.

H2: The dynamics in the NEWS, differs between the patients that suffer an IHCA and those who do not in the preceding 24 hours from the event.

Clinical Trial Description

Power:

A sample size of 300 patients in the control group and 150 patients in the group that suffered from an IHCA would generate a power estimate of 80 percent if the difference in the median is one point on the NEWS with a standard deviate of three points.

Analysis of the Research Data:

Categorical and nonparametric data will be presented in median (25-75 percentiles).

A hypothesis testing will be performed where the documented NEWS will be categorized into low-, medium- and high-risk and divided into different timespans. The timespans will be 0-6 h, 6-12 h, 12-18 and 18-24 h preceding the IHCA. In case of multiple NEWS measurements within each timespan, the worst NEWS measurement will be chosen. Each timespan during the 24 hours will not be treated as repeated measures and will be tested by the Chi square test. This test is chosen because the data is categorical. Another hypothesis test where all the NEWS measurements will be included and each documented NEWS on the same patient will be treated as repeated measures. A binary logistic regression analysis will be performed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) and modelled to fit.

In order to select the covariates that is to be included in the regression analysis a non-parametric test including all the parameters in the NEWS will be executed. The level of significance for this test will be set to p=0.2 2. Collinearity within the NEWS parameters that is to be included in the regression analysis will be tested. The level of collinearity that is accepted will be <+0,6 and >-0,6. A binomial logistic regression analysis will be executed with the selected parameters in the NEWS The outcome of the regression analysis will be presented as odds ratio (OR). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
