研究概览
简要总结
- Study the effect of acetylcysteine on decreasing the incidence of LIT in critically ill patients.
- Study the impact of acetylcysteine on the time to onset of LIT and the time to recovery of platelets.
详细描述
Primary outcome: difference in incidence of LIT between patients who received NAC and patients who didn't.
- Primary outcome definition: Defined as platelets < 150000 OR decrease > 50% of baseline platelets.
- Secondary outcome: difference in Time to onset of LIT and time to recovery between the 2 groups. Blood products transfusion, bleeding, length of stay, and in-hospital mortality incidence between 2 groups.
- Secondary outcome definitions: after having thrombocytopenia, regardless of discontinuation of linezolid, recovery is defined as the restoration and maintenance of platelet counts > 70% of baseline values.

研究组 & 干预措施
N-acetylcysteine group
Generic name: N-acetylcysteine.
- Trade name: Fluimucil.
- Company: Zambon.
- Dosage form: ampoules for intravenous administration.
- Dose: 600mg taken every 12 hours daily with a fixed dose as there is no need for renal or hepatic adjustment, starting with the inception of linezolid therapy.
- Duration: for 14 days post linezolid discontinuation or until ICU discharge, whichever came first.
干预措施: N acetyl cysteine (Drug)
Standard of care
They will receive standard of care (Platelets monitoring daily, linezolid discontinuation if platelet count less than 50000 or clinically appropriate and platelet transfusion according to the institutional protocol) plus placebo (20 ml normal saline twice daily)
干预措施: Placebo (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
difference in incidence of LIT between patients who received NAC and patients who didn't.
时间窗: From starting linezolid untill 14 days after linezolid discontinuation or ICU discharge whichever comes first.
Defined as platelets \< 150000 OR decrease \> or = 50% of baseline platelets.
次要结局
- Blood products transfusion, bleeding, length of ICU stay, and in-ICU mortality incidence between 2 groups.(From start linezolid until ICU discharge)
- Difference in time to thrombocytopenia onset between the 2 groups(From linezolid start date until date of first thrombocytopenia event, assessed up to 14 days after linezolid discontinuation or ICU discharge whichever comes first)
- Difference in time to platelet recovery between the 2 groups(From thrombocytopenia onset to recovery, assesed up to 14 days after linezolid discontinuation or ICU discharge whichever comes first)
