Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To reduce the incidence of venous thromboembolism(VTE) among patients on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) by using 1 mg/kg enoxaparin, versus the standard dose of 40 mg enoxaparin.;Secondary Objective: To show that falling neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels and urine volumes > 200 ml are predictive of renal recovery. In addition to examine the difference in anti-Xa activity, LOS, ventilator free days, bleeding, mortality, filter lifespan, and incidence of other venous thrombosis and HIT between the 2 groups.;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome is the occurrence of proximal leg deep-vein thrombosis(DVT) detected on =3 days after randomization; or pulmonary embolus(PE) diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) of the chest or at autopsy.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: All patients will be assessed daily for clinical signs of VTE. Bilateral proximal leg venous compression ultrasound (CUS)will be conducted on the 1st,3rd and 7th day of inclusion. CUS will then be repeated on a weekly basis, or if DVT is clinically suspected. CT chest and echocardiography will only be performed on clinical suspicion of PE. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary outcomes include all other DVT, anti-Xa activity, bleeding(major and minor), filter lifespan, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), length of stay on the intensive care unit, hospital length of stay, ventilator days, and death. We will monitor NGAL levels to determine whether NGAL can be used as a prognostic factor for renal recovery.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: All patients will be assessed daily for clinical signs of bleeding or VTE. Baseline anti-Xa levels will be measured. Peak and trough anti-Xa levels will be measured on day 3 and thereafter once per week. NGAL will be measured at baseline, and again during CRRT-free intervals. | — |
