Contrast-Associated Nephropathy Risk Evaluation in Acute Ischemic Stroke After Endovascular Thrombectomy

Italy8,000 participantsStarted 2023-03-01

Plain-language summary

The CAN-REST study is a multicenter, observational, and retrospective study aimed at evaluating the incidence and risk factors of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who undergo endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). This study is conducted across multiple centers in Italy, Europe, the USA, and Canada, and includes data from AIS patients treated with EVT in 2023. The primary objectives are to assess the incidence of CA-AKI in this population and identify associated risk factors. Secondary objectives include evaluating the impact of CA-AKI on clinical outcomes, such as the length of hospital stay, functional recovery, and 90-day mortality, as well as developing risk stratification tools to predict CA-AKI. By analyzing a large cohort of patients, CAN-REST aims to provide critical insights into the renal complications associated with EVT and establish predictive models that can guide clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

To be eligible to participate in this study, subjects must meet all of the following criteria: * Age \>18 years at the time of AIS * Documented serum creatinine: * pre-EVT and * within 48h and/or within 7 days after EVT. Patients on chronic dialysis will be collected but excluded from the analyses

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
