Study summary

The peripheral artery disease (PAD) prevalence is high in the elderly, the diabetic patients, and the patients receiving hemodialysis. To date, there is no guideline recommendation on the screening of PAD in patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) for sepsis.

We conducted a prospective cohort study focusing on patients admitted to the MICU with the main diagnosis of sepsis. The ankle-brachial indexes are performed within 24 hours after admission. Invasive arterial line monitoring and standard non-invasive measurements are collected. After confirmation of PAD, standard anti-platelet treatments (aspirin and cilostazol) are initiated. The survival before and after the conduction of this trial is compared to historical records. The outcomes including all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, minor amputation, major amputation, and prolonged ventilator dependent are to be collected.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study focusing on peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients admitting to intensive care units with a diagnosis of sepsis. The sepsis is defined by the quick SOFA score. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality. The secondary outcomes included stroke, myocardial infarction, amputation, and prolonged mechanical ventilation.

We plan to enroll 150 patients. Patients will be grouped into patients with PAD and patients without PAD. We then compare them in the following parameters: clinical data, laboratory data, survival and other outcome data. Two-sample student's t-tests will be used for the comparisons of continuous variables. Chi-square test will be used to detect the difference between categorical variables. The difference is considered statistically significant if P \< 0.05. All statistics works were analyzed using the SPSS 17.0 software (Chicago, IL, USA), R software (Gimc packages).

Groups and cohorts

  • Sepsis with PAD

    Patients admitted to the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of sepsis (quick SOFA score \>=2) and with ankle-brachial index \< 0.9 or vascular Duplex confirmed peripheral artery disease. \* Standard care for sepsis and PAD

    Drug: Standard care for sepsis and PAD

  • Sepsis without PAD

    Patients admitted to the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of sepsis (quick SOFA score \>=2) and with ankle-brachial index \>= 0.9 or vascular Duplex found no evidence of peripheral artery disease. \* Standard care for sepsis

    Drug: Standard care for sepsis

Interventions

  • DrugStandard care for sepsis and PAD

    The standard medications care for the patient with PAD included antiplatelet agents.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2018, 11 months after the start.

Of 138 non-industry observational studies under Peripheral Arterial Disease, half reached primary completion within 40 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 116. This study's planned 11 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 196 studies reached it within 36 months; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 73.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 13, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
