Table 2 Study outcomes

From: PRagMatic Pediatric Trial of Balanced vs nOrmaL Saline FlUid in Sepsis: study protocol for the PRoMPT BOLUS randomized interventional trial

Outcome

Definition

Primary outcome

 

 MAKE30 (primary outcome)

Major adverse kidney events at 30 days (defined as at least one of the following):

• Death

• New renal replacement therapy

• Persistent kidney dysfunction at hospital discharge or 30 days (serum creatinine ≥2x baseline or median value for age if no baseline available and a minimum absolute increase of ≥0.3 mg/dL)

Secondary effectiveness outcomes

 

 Death

All-cause mortality at hospital discharge, 28 days, and 90 daysb

 Hospital length of stay

Days from hospital admission until discharge, censored at 90 days

 Hospital-free days out of 28 days

Days between enrollment and day 28 in which patient was alive and out of the hospital

 New inpatient renal replacement therapy

New continuous renal replacement therapy, hemodialysis, or peritoneal dialysis

 Persistent kidney dysfunction at hospital discharge

Serum creatinine ≥2x baseline or median value for age if no baselinea available, censored at 30 days

Secondary safety outcomesc

 

 Hyperlactatemia

> 4 mMol/L

 Hyperkalemia

> 6 mEq/L

 Hypercalcemia

Ionized calcium > 1.35 mmol/L or total serum calcium > 12 mg/dL

 Hypernatremia

> 155 mEq/L

 Hyponatremia

< 128 mEq/L

 Hyperchloremia

> 110 mEq/L

 Thrombosis

Therapy for new arterial or venous thrombus with systemic anticoagulant OR

Clotting of intravenous catheter in subjects receiving ceftriaxone and lactated Ringer’s

 Cerebral edema

Therapy with hyperosmolar therapy (hypertonic saline and/or mannitol) for radiographic and clinical determination of new impending or present brain herniation

Secondary biologic outcomesd

 

 Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin

Biomarkers will be measured on the day of randomization (day 0), day 2, and day 27 (or prior to death or anticipated discharge, whichever comes first). Analyses will include between-group differences in absolute biomarker values at each timepoint and, to account for potential baseline differences, the percent change in biomarkers relative to measurements on study 0.

 Urine kidney injury molecular-1

 Urine liver-type fatty acid-binding protein

 Urine interleukin-18

 Plasma cystatin C

  1. aBaseline creatinine will be determined for each study participant as the lowest recorded creatinine available between 12 months and 24 h prior to the index admission. For participants without such data available, an estimated baseline creatinine will be imputed using previously established median values for age and sex
  2. bMortality at 90 days will be measured using vital status obtained from the medical record at all sites, as well as the US National Death Index and Canadian provincial vital statistics if vital status cannot be confirmed using medical records alone
  3. cSafety outcomes must occur within 4 calendar days of randomization, except thrombosis which must occur within 7 days of randomization
  4. dPlasma and urine biomarkers of kidney injury will also be collected from study participants enrolled at a subset of sites
