    Critical illness myopathy and trajectory of recovery in acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy: a prospective observational trial protocol
    (2023) J Pedro Teixeira, J. Pedro; Griffin, Benjamin R.; Pal, Chaitanya Anil; González Seguel, Felipe; Jenkins, Nathanial; Jones, Beth M.; Yoshida, Yuri; George, Naomi; Israel, Hayley Puffer; Ghazi, Lama; Neyra, Javier A.; Mayer, Kirby P.
    Introduction Acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI- RRT) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU) and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Continuous RRT (CRRT) non- selectively removes large amounts of amino acids from plasma, lowering serum amino acid concentrations and potentially depleting total- body amino acid stores. Therefore, the morbidity and mortality associated with AKI- RRT may be partly mediated through accelerated skeletal muscle atrophy and resulting muscle weakness. However, the impact of AKI- RRT on skeletal muscle mass and function during and following critical illness remains unknown. We hypothesise that patients with AKI- RRT have higher degrees of acute muscle loss than patients without AKI- RRT and that AKI- RRT survivors are less likely to recover muscle mass and function when compared with other ICU survivors. Methods and analysis This protocol describes a prospective, multicentre, observational trial assessing skeletal muscle size, quality and function in ICU patients with AKI- RRT. We will perform musculoskeletal ultrasound to longitudinally evaluate rectus femoris size and quality at baseline (within 48 hours of CRRT initiation), day 3, day 7 or at ICU discharge, at hospital discharge, and 1–3 months postdischarge. Additional skeletal muscle and physical function tests will be performed at hospital discharge and postdischarge follow- up. We will analyse the effect of AKI- RRT by comparing the findings in enrolled subjects to historical controls of critically ill patients without AKI- RRT using multivariable modelling. Ethics and dissemination We anticipate our study will reveal that AKI- RRT is associated with greater degrees of muscle loss and dysfunction along with impaired postdischarge recovery of physical function. These findings could impact the in- hospital and postdischarge treatment plan for these patients to include focused attention on muscle strength and function. We intend to disseminate findings to participants, healthcare professionals, the public and other relevant groups via conference resentation and publication without any publication restrictions.

    Assessment of redundancy, methodological and reporting quality, and potential discrepancies of results of systematic reviews of early mobilisation of critically ill adults: a meta- research protocol
    (2023) Gutierrez-Arias, Ruvistay; Pieper, Dawid; Nydahl, Peter; González Seguel, Felipe; Jalil, Yorschua; liveros, Maria-José; Torres-Castro, Rodrigo; Seron, Pamela
    Introduction Several systematic reviews (SRs) have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of early mobilisation in critically ill adults with heterogeneous methodology and results. Redundancy in conducting SRs, unclear justification when leading new SRs or updating, and discordant results of SRs on the same research question may generate research waste that makes it difficult for clinicians to keep up to date with the best available evidence. This meta- research aims to assess the redundancy, methodological and reporting quality, and potential reasons for discordance in the results reported by SRs conducted to determine the effectiveness of early mobilisation in critically ill adult patients. Methods and analysis A meta- research of early mobilisation SRs in critically ill adult patients will be conducted. A search of MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Cochrane Library, Epistemonikos and other search resources will be conducted. Two independent reviewers will perform study selection, data extraction and quality appraisal. Discrepancies will be resolved by consensus or a third reviewer. The redundancy of SRs will be assessed by the degree of overlap of primary studies. In addition, the justification for conducting new SRs will be evaluated with the ‘Evidence- Based Research’ framework. The methodological quality of the SRs will be assessed with the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2 tool, and the quality of the reports through compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses statement. To assess the potential reasons for discordance in the results of the SRs considering divergence in results and their interpretation. Ethics and dissemination As meta- research, this study does not involve the participation of people whose rights may be violated. However, this overview will be developed rigorously and systematically to achieve valid and reliable results. The findings of this meta- research study will be presented at conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal related to rehabilitation, critical care or research methodology
