ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryVasopressor and Ventilator-free Days (VVFD)Up to Day 30
The primary outcome measure is VVFD in the first 30 days after the start of treatment. The endpoint was recorded to the nearest day. Participants who died are scored zero days, even if there was a period during which the participant was alive and free of vasopressors and mechanical ventilation. Participants who must return to ventilation and/or vasopressors had their counters reset at zero days.
SecondaryMortality at 30 DaysDay 30The number of participants who did not survive until Day 30 is compared between study arms.
SecondaryIntensive Care Unit (ICU) MortalityDay 30The number of participants who died while in the ICU is compared between study arms.
SecondaryMortality at 180 DaysDay 180The number of participants who did not survive until Day 180 is compared between study arms.
SecondaryLength of ICU StayDay 30The number of days that participants were in the ICU is compared between study arms.
SecondaryLength of Hospital StayDay 30The number of days that participants were in the hospital is compared between study arms.
SecondaryDigit Span Test ScoreDay 180
The Digit Span Test is used to assesses attention. In the Digit Span Test, participants are read a series of numbers and are asked to repeat them back in the same order. The Digit Span test is scored by the number of digits the participant is able to remember in each test. Higher scores indicate greater ability to pay attention and to remember sequences. The average adult can remember about 7 numbers, plus or minus two, without making an error.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Delirium Assessed With the DeliriumTelephone Confusion Assessment Method (CAM)Day 180
The Telephone CAM evaluates dementia with 9-items, where additional questions are asked if symptoms are present. Rather than providing a summary score, if participants exhibit signs of a change in mental status which fluctuates and they experience inattention, along with disorganized thinking or altered level of consciousness, delirium is suggested.
SecondaryHayling Test ScoreDay 180
Executive function is assessed with the Hayling Test. The Hayling Test includes two parts of 15 items each where participants complete sentences by providing the missing word. The test is scored as the amount of time it takes, in seconds, to recite a correct response and the appropriateness of the response (in Part 2). Scaled scores range from 1 to 10 where 1 = impaired, 6 = average, and 10 = very superior.
SecondaryControlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) ScoreDay 180
Language is assessed with the Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT). Participants generate words beginning with selected letters within 60 seconds. Generating a higher number of words indicates greater language skills.
SecondaryWechsler Memory Scale III - Delayed Recall Logical Memory ScoreDay 180
Memory is assessed with the Logical Memory subtest from the Wechsler Memory Scale III. Participants listened to two short paragraphs and were asked to recall details from each story after 30 minutes. Scores represent the number of correctly remembered details. Total scores range from 0 to 25 with higher scores reflecting better memory.
SecondaryTelephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS)Day 180
The Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS) is an 11-item instrument assessing orientation. Correct responses to the items are scored in a variety of ways, depending on how much of the response is correct. Total scores range from 0 to 41 with higher scores indicating increased cognitive orientation.
SecondaryWechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)-IV Similarities ScoreDay 180
Reasoning is assessed with the WAIS-IV Similarities instrument. Participants were asked to explain how two words are alike. Responses are scored according to how correct they are, with a score of 0 for incorrect answers. After 3 consecutive scores of 0 the survey is stopped. Total raw scores vary depending on the number of word pairs presented. Higher scores indicate better performance. Scores will be compared between study arms.
SecondaryKatz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) ScoreDay 180
Activities of daily living is assessed with the Katz ADL instrument. The Katz ADL has 6 items asking if participants can perform daily tasks independently. Responses are scored as 1 = yes and 0 = no. Total scores range from 0 to 6 with higher scores indicating greater independence.
SecondaryNumber of Participants EmployedDay 180The Employment Questionnaire is a brief measure of the participant's employment history and ability or capacity to work. The number of participants who indicated being employed are presented here.
SecondaryFunctional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ) ScoreDay 180
Instrumental activities of daily living is assessed with the Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ). The FAQ includes 10 items which are scored on a scale from 0 to 3 where 0 = normal and 3 = dependent. Total scores range from 0 to 30 and lower scores indicate that the respondent is able to perform daily activities. A score of 9 (where the person is dependent in 3 activities) is used as a cut-point indicating impairments with functioning.
SecondaryPatient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression 6Day 180
Depression is assessed with the PROMIS Depression 6 instrument. This tool includes 6 items with response options on a scale of 1 to 5. Total raw scores range from 6 to 30 with higher scores indicating greater symptoms of depression.
SecondaryPosttraumatic Stress Disorder-8 (PTSD-8) ScoreDay 180
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is assessed with the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder - 8 instrument. The PTSD-8 includes 8 items which are answered on a 4 point scale where 01 = not at all and 3 = all of the time. Total scores range from 0 to 24 where higher scores indicate greater symptoms of PTSD.
SecondaryEuroQol, 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) Visual Analog Scale ScoreDay 180
Quality of life is assessed with the Visual Analog Scale of the EuroQol, 5 dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire. The EQ-5D asks about 5 dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, and depression). The questionnaire includes a visual analog scale where respondents rate their current health where 0 = worst health imaginable and 100 = best health imaginable.
