Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

Role fo oxidative stress in adrenal insufficiency has not been studied. The degree of oxidative stress and it's role in pediatric critical illness is unknown. Potential for significant alterations to many of thew body's regulatory pathways may result from severe oxidative stress. Further is needed to delineate what if any role oxidative stress may play

    Critically Ill Patients

    Evaluation of Oxidative Stress, Glucocorticoid Receptor function, and Adrenal Insufficiency amongst critically ill pediatric patients. Serum, and when available endotracheal samples, will be obtained within 24 hours of admission and at 5 days provided patients are 1) still in the PICU and 2) blood draws and endotracheal aspirates are part of their standard of care. Endotracheal aspirates will be sent on day 14, 21, and 28 provided patients are intubated and require suctioning as part of their standard of care.

  • Other

    Healthy Controls

    Healthy controls will be evaluated and defined as those who do not have any chronic medical condition, are not on steroids (inhaled or oral), and have not received steroids or etomidate in the last month. Given the time and need for multiple lab draws low dose adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) testing will not be done in healthy patients, nor will tracheal aspirate samples be obtained.

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score in Critically Ill Children

    Time frame · 1 years

    Registry description

    Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction also known as the PELOD Score is a marker of severity of illness for Critically ill children. The PELOD includes six organ dysfunctions and 12 variables. To calculate the PELOD score, each organ dysfunction received points for the single variable associated with the most points. The minimum number that can be assigned to an organ is 0 and the maximum number of points for an organ is 20, and the maximum possible PELOD score is 71. Organ dysfunction is identified if the score for any organ system was more than 0.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria, as posted
Inclusion Criteria: Critically Ill subjects: 1. All patients, birth-18 years, admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit that require blood to be drawn as part of medical management consistent with "standard of care". 2. Admission to the PICU within the last 24 hours. 3. Subjects' legal guardian shall possess the ability to understand the purposes and risks of the study and provide an informed consent signature. Healthy control subjects: 1\. All healthy children, birth-18 years, who are having semi-elective magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that require peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheters placed to provide sedation. Exclusion Criteria: Critically Ill subjects: 1. Have received steroids within the last 30 days. 2. Pre-existing/known neuroendocrine disorder, including but not limited to disorders of the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal, pancreas, or thyroid gland. 3. Have been treated at anytime with antipsychotic medication. 4. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. 5. Patients who have received etomidate. 6. Patients weighing less than or equal to 6 kilograms. 7. Developmentally delayed. 8. Medical urgency preventing timely administration of the consenting process, or any condition that, in the opinion of the attending physician, would place the patient at undue risk by participating. 9. Other technical considerations that would prevent the timely acquisition of sufficient samples such as (but not limited to) hour of admission or absence of a study team member. 10. Parent or legal guardian (or patient when applicable) refuses to sign informed consent. Healthy control subjects: 1. Have received steroids within the last 30 days. 2. Have a pre-existing/known neuroendocrine disorder, including but not limited to disorders of the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal, pancreas, or thyroid gland. 3. Have been treated at anytime with antipsychotic medication. 4. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. 5. Patients who have received etomidate. 6. Patients weighing less than or equal to 6 kilograms. 7. Developmentally delayed. 8.
