NCT04508946

Brief Summary

this study is conducted to evaluate the role of the novel triple therapy combination in reducing the mortality rate, reducing the shock time, and reversal of organ damage. the study includes two arms, the first arm is the control which received hydrocortisone monotherapy and the second arm is the intervention arm which received the triple therapy regimen. calculation of 28 days in-hospital mortality is the primary outcome. shock time, vasopressor doses, infection markers, and organ function tests are the secondary outcomes. the data will be analyzed by student t-test or Mann Whitney test, Fischer exact or chi-square test for numbers, repeated measures ANOVA will be used to consider confounders and other parameters, mortality will be expressed by Kaplan Meier and ROC curve. For Multivariate analysis of repeated quantitative outcomes, linear mixed models were used to quantify the relationship between one dependent variable (SOFA, SCr, doses of vasopressors) and many independent variables including group type and sepsis phenotype adjusted to other clinical and demographic factors.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The number of patients who died within 28 days.

    patients were followed up daily for 28 days, this is the number of patients who died within 28 days.

    28 days

  • ICU Mortality

    The number of patients who died during ICU stay

    Within 28 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • the number of days that are needed to off the patients from vasopressors.

    28 Days

  • the number of days that are needed to off the patients from mechanical ventilation.

    28 days

  • Change in organ's functions test such as (serum creatinine, Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
