Trial Outcomes & Findings for Improving CarE for Community Acquired Pneumonia 1 (ICE-CAP2) (NCT NCT06033079)

NCT ID: NCT06033079

Last Updated: 2023-12-05

Results Overview

Number of participants who were disposed from the ED and experienced a change in level of care within 24 hours unless objective criteria present. Appropriate dispositions were defined as follows. 1. Disposition: Discharged to home, Appropriate if no subsequent hospitalization within 24h 2. Disposition: Inpatient Ward, Appropriate if hospital length of stay (LOS) ≥ 24h OR hospital LOS \< 24h with objective criteria for admission present (eg, need for supplemental oxygen) PLUS no transfer to intensive care (ICU) within 24h 3. Disposition: ICU, ICU LOS ≥ 24h OR ICU LOS \< 24h with objective criteria for ICU admission present (eg, respiratory failure) Encounters NOT meeting these criteria were defined as Inappropriate.

Measure
Control
No experimental decision support will be provided to those randomized to the control arm. All children will receive usual care and treatment will not be restricted or altered in any way by the study.
CDS Intervention
The prognostic decision support application will be provided to those randomized to the intervention arm. Due to the nature of the intervention, blinding of treating providers will not be possible. All children will receive usual care and all treatment decisions will be made by the clinical providers and will not be restricted or altered in any way. Clinical Decision Support: For enrolled subjects assigned to the decision support arm, providers will receive prognostic information derived using our previously validated and best performing model. The decision support application will automatically calculate predicted risk for moderate (intensive care) and severe (respiratory failure or shock) outcomes using the parameters derived from the prognostic tool's regression equation. Outcome probabilities will be integrated into the decision support application and displayed within the EHR.
