Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs in 24% of trauma patients, and is even more common in those with severe trauma. It is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in trauma. Diagnosis of AKI is based on elevated serum creatinine and decreased urine output, two functional markers already indicating the presence of a significant kidney function impairment. Earlier detection of kidney stress, at a preclinical stage when cellular modifications are still reversible, could reduce the occurrence of AKI episodes if nephroprotective measures are rapidly implemented.

Several randomized controlled trials have shown that early implementation of such a nephroprotection bundle-of-care in patients at risk of AKI after major surgery reduces the incidence of severe AKI within 72 hours. Although its use is supported by international guidelines, this nephroprotection bundle-of-care is rarely implemented in its totality, due to the significant financial and human resources required for its full implementation.

The Nephrocheck® (NC) test is a urine test for which a result \> 0.3 is predictive of AKI development. It might enable early identification of trauma patients at risk of AKI, so that implementation of the nephroprotection bundle-of-care could be targeted solely at those high-risk patients.

Thus, the investigators hypothesize that in a population of severe trauma patients (ISS score\>15) at risk of AKI (defined by a NC on Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission \> 0.3), early implementation of a nephroprotection bundle-of-care would reduce the risk of AKI occurring within 3 days of ICU admission, compared with standard-of-care management. This study will compare the occurrence of AKI in these two groups in a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study will be conducted in two phases:

Observational phase (4 months): describe the usual management practices and the incidence of AKI in each center.

Severe trauma patients (ISS \>15) will have a urine sample taken for NC measurement within 12 hours of admission to critical care. The NC value will not be disclosed to practitioners. Only patients with NC\>0.3 will be included retrospectively Interventional phase (20 months): aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nephroprotection bundle-of-care (adaptation of the "KDIGO" protocol).

Patients with ISS\>15 will have a urine sample taken for NC measurement within 12 hours of admission to critical care. The NC result will be returned to the practitioner. If NC \> 0.3, the patient can be included and randomized. Randomization will be stratified by center. In the intervention group, the nephroprotection bundle-of-care will be applied for 3 days following admission to critical care. In the control group, patients will be managed as usual

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Observational group

Patients in the observational group will be managed according to the unit's standard-of-care, as in the control group, but without investigators knowing the patient's risk of AKI (NC score not known)

Group Type OTHER

Standard-of-care

Intervention Type OTHER

Management according to current ICU practices

Control group: Standard-of-care

Patients at risk of AKI (NC\>0.3) randomized in the control group will be managed according to the unit's standard-of-care.

Group Type OTHER

Standard-of-care

Intervention Type OTHER

Management according to current ICU practices

Intervention group: nephroprotection bundle-of-care

Patients at risk of AKI (NC\>0.3) randomized in the intervention group will receive the systematic and complete application of a nephroprotection bundle-of-care for three days following ICU admission.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Systematic nephroprotection bundle-of-care

Intervention Type OTHER

The nephroprotection bundle-of-care includes 5 components:

1. Prevention of drugs' nephrotoxicity
2. Hemodynamic optimization, for 24h
3. Blood glucose control and avoidance of hyperglycemia
4. Early detection of rhabdomyolysis
5. Monitoring of renal function
