NCT ID: NCT05980923 Recruiting - Thyroid Dysfunction Clinical Trials

Thyroid Profiles in Patients With Acute Illness

Start date: October 15, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Patients admitted to the hospital with acute illness may have a wide spectrum of thyroid function abnormalities. It is largely unknown whether such aberrations are temporary or persist for a long time, and whether they impact prognosis of such patients.

NCT ID: NCT05782855 Recruiting - Physical Inactivity Clinical Trials

ROBot Assisted Physical Training of Older Patients During acUte hospitaliSaTion

ROBUST
Start date: January 5, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to address if robot assisted physical training can prevent functional decline during acute hospitalisation in older geriatric patients. Design: blinded RCT. Patients: n = 488. Primary outcome is functional decline, assessed by Barthel-Index and 30s chair stand test. One- and three months follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT05766956 Enrolling by invitation - Acute Illness Clinical Trials

Effect of Advanced Care at Home vs. Traditional Brick-and-Mortar Hospital Care in Acutely Ill Adults: A Pragmatic Clinical Trial

Start date: July 10, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare two care delivery models that are currently being implemented in routine practice settings. The findings from this study will inform future clinical decision making, such as which patients might be more suited for which care delivery model.

NCT ID: NCT05546073 Completed - Acute Illness Clinical Trials

Advanced Point-of-care Technology During In-home Assessment Among Older Adults

Start date: October 14, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Due to ageing-related physiological changes, diagnosing older adults is challenging. Delayed disease recognition lead to adverse health outcomes and increased hospitalisation, which is why there is a need to develop new procedures for timely diagnosis and treatment of older adults. Point-of-care technology, e.g. focused lung ultrasound scan and bedside analysis of blood samples (leucocytes with differential count, electrolytes and creatinine) carried out in the patients' home may support clinical decision-making, and potentially reduce acute hospital admissions. The trial's overall aim is to investigate whether increased point-of-care technology, i.e. focused lung ultrasound scan and bedside blood analysis, used as in-home diagnostics in older adults with acute respiratory symptoms, can qualify the general practitioner's clinical decision-making for early treatment initiation and eventually reduce acute hospital admission.

NCT ID: NCT05232799 Completed - Acute Illness Clinical Trials

Care Anywhere With Community Paramedics Program to Reduce Hospitalization

Start date: January 21, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of the Care Anywhere with Community Paramedics program with usual care in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial. The goal of the Care Anywhere with Community Paramedics program is to prevent or shorten hospitalizations among patients who are being treated in the clinic/ambulatory setting ("prehospital setting"), emergency department, or hospital and are clinically appropriate to be cared for at home with community paramedic services.

NCT ID: NCT05208216 Recruiting - Sepsis Clinical Trials

Neuromuscular Stimulation Versus Intermittent Compression for Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Critical Care

ENSARIA
Start date: November 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this prospective, randomised, open-label, parallel group, feasibility trial; the investigators will objectively assess whether it is feasible to apply the Geko device to critically ill adults for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared to usual care with intermittent pneumatic compression devices (IPCs).

NCT ID: NCT04226040 Completed - Acute Illness Clinical Trials

Degree-of-worry and Illness Perception in Patients Suffering From Acute Illness in the Emergency Department

Start date: January 13, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This study explores whether and how DOW, as a PRO marker, can contribute to triage in the Emergency Departments. The study is designed as a mixed-method study consisting of a survey among acutely ill patients and qualitative semi-structured interviews.

NCT ID: NCT04110028 Completed - Inflammation Clinical Trials

Nicotinamide Riboside in Hospitalized Patients

Start date: October 1, 2019
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Patients will receive oral nicotinamide riboside or placebo and clinical and paraclinical outcome will be determined

NCT ID: NCT03482830 Completed - Stress Clinical Trials

Perioperative Metabolic and Hormonal Aspects in Major Emergency Surgery

PHASE
Start date: March 5, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Emergency laparotomies, which most often is performed due to high risk disease (bowel obstruction, ischemia, perforation, etc.), make up 11 % of surgical procedures in emergency surgical departments, however, give rise to 80 % of all postoperative complications. The 30-day mortality rates in relation to these emergent procedures have been reported between 14-30 %, with even higher numbers for frail and older patients. The specific reasons for these outcomes are not yet known, however, a combination of preexisting comorbidities, acute illness, sepsis, and the surgical stress response that arise during- and after the surgical procedure due to the activation of the immunological and humoral system, is most likely to blame. The complex endocrinological response and consequences of this response to emergency surgery are sparsely reported in the literature. The aim of this PHASE project is to evaluate and describe the temporal endocrine, endothelial and immunological changes after major emergency abdominal surgery, and to associate these changes with clinical postoperative outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT02095067 Recruiting - Acute Illness Clinical Trials

Videoconferencing Between Ambulances and Physician at the Emergency Medical Dispatch Center, Effects on On-Site Patient Treatment and Patterns of Referral

Start date: June 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The prehospital resources are limited. The emergency medical dispatch center (EMDC) is manned by qualified health care personnel around the clock. The investigators believe that the EMDC is an unexploited resource in the prehospital treatment of patients. By the use of videoconferencing the investigators will activate this resource. Mobile videoconferencing between ambulances and physician at the EMDC enables patient consultation at a distance. Video consultation between patient and the physician at the EMDC can take place when the patient is at home or in the ambulance. The primary aim of this study is to examine the effect of video consultation between physicians at the EMDC and patients receiving treatment by ambulance personnel on the number of patients receiving final treatment on-site in the pre hospital setting.
