Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a specific nutritional formula for diabetics on the development of hyperglycemia in patients with recent non-diabetic stroke who require admission and enteral nutritional support by nasogastric tube. As well as the effect on metabolic control, development of comorbidities, hospital stay, readmissions, mortality and tolerance of the formula under study.

Read the detailed description

MAIN GOAL:

To evaluate the effect on the development of hyperglycemia diagnosed as glycemia> 126 mg / dl on an empty stomach or> 150 mg / dl during the infusion of enteral nutrition determined by capillary glycemia during the admission of a specific formula in patients with a first episode of ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic entry into the non-diabetic HCUV stroke unit requiring enteral nutrition by nasogastric tube.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. HYPERGLUCEMIA POST-ENTERAL NUTRITION

    Glycemia over 150 mg / dl after the beginning of infusion of complete enteral. nutrition determined by capillary glycemia during admission. Dicotomic variable (Yes/No)

Secondary outcomes

  1. MORTALITY

    Mortality during study period. Dicotomic variable (Yes/No)

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. ORAL FEEDING RECOVERY

    Recovery of oral feeding (More than 75% of energy needs) and withdrawal of nasogastric tube during admission. Dicotomic variable (Yes/No)

    Time frame: 3 months

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

Ran from Dec 2017 to primary completion in Sep 2021, 45 months.

Of 208 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hyperglycemia, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 27. This study's 45 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 225 studies reached it within 14 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 27.

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 Sep 19, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
