Evaluation of a Predictive Score for the Onset of Moderate to Severe Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome, the PAWSS, in a Population of Intensive Care Patients at Brest University Hospital

Completed
Conditions
Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome
Registration Number
NCT06555679
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Brest
Brief Summary

alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a very common condition in patients admitting in ICU's. Brutal stop of alcohol consumption may lead to a withdrawal syndrome, wich is associated with a worse outcome for ICU patients (longuer ICU and hospital stays, use of mechanical ventilation, traumas). The aim of this study is to valid a score (PAWSS : prediction of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) scale) to predict at admission mild to severe AWS in ICU patients population.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of PAWSS statistic performances to predict AWS in ICU patientsthe first 5 days of hospital stay

Evaluation of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of PAWSS to predict moderate or severe AWS (defined by a CIWA greater than or equal to 8)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Creation of a new score, the PAWSS-ICU, able to predict AWS in ICU patientsduring ICU stay

To this end, the characteristics of the \[no weaning/minimal weaning\] and \[moderate weaning/severe weaning\] groups will be compared, in order to identify significant differences between these two groups, and thus enable the creation of a new score.

On an exploratory basis :

* assess the incidence of alcohol misuse and withdrawal syndrome in our population,

* assess the incidence of complications in the population with moderate to severe withdrawal (trauma, occurrence of pneumopathy, need for mechanical ventilation),

* assess length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality.
