Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The predictive properties of biomarkers in critical care are promising. However, there are few studies and most prospective studies are restricted to specific diseases. The aim of this study is to explore predictors of outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients; to assess short-term and long-term outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients; to identify major events during mechanical ventilation; to identify chronic diseases associated with poor outcomes; to analyze the potential and verify previous results of circulating biomarkers for prognostication in mechanically ventilated patients, patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia and patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation

Who can participate?
Critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 12 hours.

What does the study involve?
This is an observational study. The study does not interfere with treatment. Besides additional blood sampling no interventions are planned. Patients will be assessed at study inclusion, after two, four days, at ICU discharge, at hospital discharge and after one year. Further assessments are scheduled if ventilator-associated pneumonia is suggested or the patient is continuously on invasive mechanical ventilation for 21 days.

What are the possible risks and benefits of participating?
Patients do not experience any direct benefits from the study. However, they contribute to the improvement of medical knowledge in the field. Patients are exposed to a marginal increased risk of anaemia, due to additional blood sampling (approx. 30ml blood, at most 100ml blood during the whole study).

Where is the study run from?
University Hospital Basel, Clinic of Pulmonary Medicine and Respiratory Cell Research (Switzerland)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
The study started in 2011 and is expected to last four and half years. The trial will be recruiting participants for approximately three and an half years

Who is funding the study?
University Hospital Basel, Clinic of Pneumology and Respiratory Cell Research. Unrestricted grants are provided by the Gottfried und Julia Bangerter-Rhyner Foundation, University Basel and Freie Akademische Foundation (Switzerland).

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCritically ill patients on invasive mechanical ventilation
InterventionVisit day 0: assessment of baseline characteristics, vitals, venous puncture, subjective estimation of outcome
Visit day 2: vitals, venous puncture, subjective estimation of outcome
Visit day 4: vitals, venous puncture, subjective estimation of outcome
Visit ICU discharge: assessment of complications during ICU stay
Visit hospital discharge: assessment of survival
Visit 1 year: assessment of survival
Visit VAP (if patient develops ventilator associated pneumonia during ICU stay): assessment of VAP parameters, vitals, venous puncture, subjective estimation of outcome
Visit VAP day 4 (four days after development of ventilator associated pneumonia): vitals, venous puncture, subjective estimation of outcome
Visit PMV (if patient on invasive mechanical ventilation for 21 days, prolonged mechanical ventilation) day : vitals, venous puncture, subjective estimation of outcome

Follow-up duration: 12 months.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureCrude mortality within 28 days
Secondary outcome measures1. Mortality within one year
2. Duration of ICU and hospital stay
3. Duration of mechanical ventilation, ventilation free days, weaning attempts, survival in the subgroups of mechanically ventilated patients, events during mechanical ventilation

Endpoints will be obtained during ICU stay or at scheduled assessments.
