Scientific titleNSAID treatment with piroxicam versus placebo in hospitalised geriatric patients with infection-induced inflammation - influence on muscle function: a single centre double blind randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesThe treatment with a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in addition to standard antibiotic therapy might attenuate infection-induced inflammation and reduce its negative effects on muscle function
Ethics approval(s)Hospital ethics committee (Comité d'éthique hospitalier), CHU Brugmann approved on 17/12/2004 and amendements approved on 19/05/2005 (N/Ref CE 2004/44)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedInfection-induced inflammation and related muscle weakness
Intervention10 mg piroxicam daily versus placebo in addition to standard care including antibiotics
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Skeletal muscle mass (total body potassium) evaluated at baseline & weekly thereafter maximum two times
2. Muscle performance (grip strength, fatigue resistance and Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS) score evaluated at baseline & weekly thereafter with a maximum of three weeks
3. Inflammation (levels of cytokines and heat shock proteins) evaluated at baseline, daily during the first 3 days and weekly after baseline with a maximum of three weeks
Secondary outcome measures1. Clinical evolution evaluated at discharge
2. Length of stay
3. Tolerance and adverse events evaluated daily throughout hospitalisation
Overall study start date01/05/2005
Completion date30/04/2006
