Clinical Trial: Comparison of Sarcopenia Index, Diaphragm Ultrasonography, and Traditional Weaning Parameters in Predicting Successful Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation

U.S., Sept. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07844421) titled 'Comparison of Sarcopenia Index, Diaphragm Ultrasonography, and Traditional Weaning Parameters in Predicting Successful Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation' on Sept. 17.

Brief Summary: This study investigates whether the Sarcopenia Index (SI = serum creatinine/cystatin C x 100), a simple biomarker derived from routine blood tests, can predict weaning success in critically ill patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit. SI will be measured at the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), and its predictive value will be compared with diaphragm ultrasound parameters - diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) an...
