Study summary

This retrospective study assesses long term renal outcome in patients having suffered medical or post cardiotomy refractory cardiogenic shock requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) concomitant with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO).

The authors seek to establish for accurate definition of renal recovery status predicting poor long-term renal outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Cardiogenic shock, defined as cardiac pump failure, is caused by many etiologies such as myocardial infarction, infectious diseases or post-cardiotomy. Mortality remains high and may reach 80% depending on etiologies and series ( 60% 30 days - mortality after post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock). Extra Corporeal Life Support (ECLS) became a corner stone of refractory cardiogenic shock.

This low cardiac output syndrome leeds to associated organs failure whose renal function is the first being impaired. Severity partly depends on hemodynamic instability duration and intensity. Sixty percent of patients under ECLS develop acute kidney injury (AKI) and two third of them will need renal replacement therapy (RRT), representing 40 percent of the ECLS population. In addition, RRT introduction is associated with higher mortality.

In the surviving patients, there is a growing interest on long term renal outcomes. Few retrospective studies already indicate a higher 1- and 2-years incidence of major adverse kidney events (MAKE: overall mortality or dialysis dependance or doubling serum creatinine) in case of association of RRT and ECLS. Also, 90 days renal recovery status may be correlated with 2.9 higher risk of MAKE at 3 years.

Nowadays, preventing those long term renal adverse events should be considered as a priority during intensive care unit stay. Optimizing renal recovery appears to be the leading strategy in clinical practice.

There is a lack of standardization in defining renal recovery leading to incomparability of studies. To investigators knowledge, there is no validated definition of renal recovery in patients undergoing combined veno-arterial mode of extracorporeal oxygenation membrane (VA mode of ECMO) and renal replacement therapy.

The RECOVECMO study proposes to determinate the sensitivity and specificity of two definitions of renal recovery (serum creatinine level below 1.5 fold serum creatinine basal level or serum creatinine level below 1.25 fold serum creatinine basal level) in predicting 2 years incidence of MAKE in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy while receiving VA mode of ECMO.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Complete renal recovery status according first definition

    decrease in serum creatinine level below 1.5 fold its basal value

    Time frame: 90 days from AKI (acute Kidney Injury) start

  2. Complete renal recovery status according second definition

    decrease in serum creatinine level below 1.25 fold its basal value

    Time frame: 90 days from AKI start

  3. Long term renal outcome

    proportion of patient meeting a composite criterion (overall mortality or dialysis dependency or doubling of basal serum creatinine)

    Time frame: 2 years from AKI start

Secondary outcomes

  1. MAKE incidence

    Major Adverse Kidney Events incidence: death or dialysis dependency or serum creatinine value ≥ 200 % of the baseline serum creatinine.

    Time frame: 7 days , 90 days, 1 year , 2 years from AKI start

  2. MAKE incidence

    Major Adverse Kidney Events incidence: death or dialysis dependency or serum creatinine value ≥ 200 % of the baseline serum creatinine.

    Time frame: hospital discharge, an average of 60 days from AKI start

  3. Renal recovery status

    Renal recovery status through serum creatinine measure

    Time frame: 7 days , 90 days, 1 year , 2 years from AKI start

  4. Renal recovery status

    Renal recovery status through serum creatinine measure

    Time frame: hospital discharge, an average of 60 days from AKI start

  5. vital status

    Mortality from AKI start

    Time frame: 1 year, 2 years from AKI start

  6. renal replacement therapy status

    number of patients requiring renal replacement therapy assessed thanks to medical records

    Time frame: 1 year, 2 years from AKI start

  7. Determination of risk factors (baseline characteristics, clinical features, medications and nephrotoxic use, ECMO parameters, RRT parameters) associated with incomplete renal recovery status

    Report data (baseline characteristics, clinical features, medications and nephrotoxic use, ECMO parameters, RRT parameters) present at inclusion or appearing during the follow-up of patients who have not completely recovered their renal function 90 days after the start of AKI

    Time frame: up to 90 days from AKI start

  8. Determination of risk factors (baseline characteristics, clinical features, medications and nephrotoxic use, ECMO parameters, RRT parameters, 90 days renal recovery status) associated with MAKE

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 May 16, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
